Appropriate ways to answer "How are you?" in 2024:

•My idols are dead and my enemies are in power.

•You can see me???

•I'm fine but the garden in my head is dead.

I would love to see a statistical "Year in Review" detailing the total minutes I've spent attempting to explain to Republicans why their perspectives are misguided.

She always sounds more percussive in December,
In the way of bells instead of hammers.

Small bits of happiness:
My hands wrapped around a warm cup, and an apologetic sunrise after a greyscale week.

I only want diamonds in the winter, when sun lights snow,
then the violence of the stone does not deter me, until it does again.

Three feet of snow underneath me
A symphony of snowblowers
and somewhere, a Bills fan
is cracking their first beer
