The grains of sand
Are numerous
But not infinite
The fields of stars
are vast
But still limited
You
Are everything
A precious moment
Within an instant
Longer than our imagination.

Happy birthday to the U. S. Army. I regret that what should be celebrated as a great part of our heritage has been co-opted by Toxic Trump as an expression of his own insecurity. Let the No kings protests be a more honest expression of what so many have given their lives a service to protect.

Two Sides
No malice intended
Just self-indolence
Hiding
The allure of the unseen
For me
Waves lap upon the shore
Endlessly
Regal and without regard
Far from shore
The mountainside
Or sea
A lifetime to explore
A scare has two sides
A before and an after
Sometimes visible
But always an after

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

It is good to remember
A memory is a physical thing
A grey matter winkle
Enduring the wind, rain
And time
Created from a perspective
Stored carelessly or carefully
Worn around the edges
A lifetime cannot hold them
Often lost, sometimes found
So limited and flawed
And ultimately — all we have

Rust:
In the sidewalk
Unnoticed
Red and twisted
Once carefully placed
Once helpful
In a way now forgotten
Snow, sun, rain
The red stain grows
Then a moment
Looked upon by large eyes
Squatting in curiosity
So out of place
Reaching out to understand
Don’t touch
Says a mother’s voice
In the sidewalk
Unnoticed
Red and twisted
Once carefully placed
Once helpful
In a way now forgotten

The muse:
She sits beside me
Out of reach
Perhaps a memory
Just remembered
Or some present sound
Or word
That transports me
To that disconnected past
A memory with no utility
But before melting
Transforms everything
Ever so slightly
She sits beside me
Out of reach
Perhaps a memory
Just remembered
Or some present sound
Or word
That transports me
To that disconnected past
A memory with no utility
But before melting
Transforms everything

IRS leaders rejected a recent request from immigration enforcement officials to divulge the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally, rebuffing a Trump administration attempt to leverage the tax service to assist a sweeping immigration crackdown.
