we call everyone we know
ask how they are
we don’t sleep much
continuing our lives
yesterday we visited
the wonderful new wing
of the Museum of Natural History
with this quote
by Rachel Carson:
In nature nothing exists alone.
Today the unveiling of
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Memorial
ten years in the making
we sang together and cried
for the world and the beautiful day
and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Memorial
that took so many people
so many years to finally build
and at my Penn South class tonight
Liz suggested we all listen to an old song
she loved a million years ago
by Sheldon Harnick
so we did.
Wonderful. And the song!!!!! A friend and I were just singing it to each other the phones minutes before I oped my laptop and found your post!!!!!! It's a little hard to laugh lightheartedly about what is happening in Gaza today but the song is apt for now.
Yes, yes. Yes.
