(Thank you to everyone who wrote me yesterday saying
Would You Write Another Non-Prayer. OK.
And for those who Don’t Know, my first book
of poems is called GOD IS A TREE. Pleasure Boat just issued
a third edition. Here it is: https://www.spdbooks.org/Products/9781929355495/god-is-a-
tree-and-other-middleage-prayers.aspx.
Anne LaMott’s book is Help Thanks Wow.)
Dear Delores, I know we could all ask you anything
and you would smile and answer
and give us a piece of lemon meringue pie.
Please
help with the Big Divide. There’ve always
been differences between us but now the consequences
seem crazy. The corona virus for one thing. Please
help convince people the vaccine is OK.
Thanks
for yesterday, possibly
the most beautiful day of the summer.
We drove Khanyi to work in Hudson and then
to an insanely expensive parking lot flea market
(an odd pink tiered dress not even a little wonderful
was $800) and then came home and ate dinner on the porch.
Wow
Ahava lost her first tooth. I know there is nothing
less interesting than hearing about Grandchildren
and Their Achievements but still, she lost a tooth.
