I have years of experience doing policy in NYC, including energy, sustainability, code issues, etc. I recently moved to Austria, Queens, after living the last 20 years in the same apartment in Brooklyn.
Shade (title)

The trees in the shabby courtyard
Throw shade
On the walking path
Where my dog and I hunt squirrels
Me a double agent
Her clueless
And it’s hot out
And the courtyard is everything
So the shade is more than a little
Welcome

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

Sometimes I go look at the river
It’s come so far from the mountain
Half frozen in Catskill’s February
It bred young bugs from thin air
Ate stones for breakfast
And now here it is
So close to the harbor
To the sea
As inevitable as gravity

The woods (title)

Also the woods came back
To New England
After maybe forever
Or just a speck
Of glacier
I’ve known this landscape
Just enough
To tell you
Some of the stories

Sooner

Look
I drank from the river
Like you
Like everyone
Water of life
And saw that it went on
Forever
Or til Tuesday
Whichever is sooner

Even in this racing train
I know the names
Of most
Of these trees
Remembering
When I first found New England
I knew not one

Fucking house sparrows
Banging out their noise
At 3 AM
I’m awake of course
Tomorrow already happened
I forgive you
And
Good night

The best thing about social media is that someone has already said what you want to say. I know. That’s been said.

Helen! Your gorgeous.
I know making fun of people's looks is shallow and irrelevant, and I myself am no great beauty, but come the fuck on. FBI directors simply cannot look like this.

If you have any extra breakfast, Stanley would love to share.

My kid thinks the funniest thing I ever said occurred when the MAGA folks were upset about a black Santa, and they said “wait until they find out Mrs. Claus is still white.”
MAGA is big mad that Mrs. Claus was Black in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I did it (title)

I dusted my own fingerprints
And I’m mostly from
Some other galaxy
And it’s been a billion years
Putting me together
And all my work here
Is just about done

Happy Thanksgiving folks.

The hound is adjusting to our new home. Here she is figuring out how to see a fellow hound yapping outside.

Who thought the Alien Sedition Act and the Fugitive Slave Act were coming back in 2025?

I just moved to Astoria, Queens. Today I met an elderly woman, Maria, who lives in my building. I carried her groceries upstairs. She told me her mom, who died at 95 recently, lived in my apartment for 30 years. I told her to come by any time if she wants to visit the apartment. Hope she does.
