"Civilization" has led (at least, some of) us to regard existence very differently from the "kill and be killed" lives of other creatures.

Excellent description of the White House's new low-rent look, and the tasteless boob who called for it. Can't wait to see the ballroom.

This poem is not about poetbay poets. It's about the academic poets who show up in the journals no one reads.

I read up on Preludin, which I'd not heard of before and no longer is being sold. I think that you're right to believe that it changed her for the worse.

Something is giving. Many of us are giving as decency, equity, diversity are being pushed aside. With the forces of intolerance and oppression on the offensive, all others must give.
By the way, don't place too much faith in the Constitution. It may as well be a blank sheet of paper, as what it says is determined by six grotesquely corrupt political hacks in black robes.

An interesting meditation. I especially liked the idea that a door could lead to another hall of doors.
For me, the doors all are open, and I don't notice that I've gone through one until I realize that I I won't be going back.
