We watch and listen
and continue to write
everyone and try
to laugh when we can.
This last isn’t easy.
A few days ago at the
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
Memorial (wonderful amazing)
a man I know through work
earnest humorless man
who does good things in life
but is not a good companion for lunch
(I’ve had some lecture lunches)
saw me crying a little
while I was thinking about
everyone all the children in Israel and Palestine
he turned to me and said
Esther I’m sure you know
this fire happened a long time ago.
I told him I did.
Esther, I liked this story when you told it to us the other night. I like it much better the way it is written here.
Beautiful tone.
