Today 500 more
dead in Iraq. Young
soldiers come back
from there, and kill
themselves. An earth-
quake in Peru. A friend
is torn, by love, by
rage. The Black Cat
Fire hunts neighbors
from their homes.
Today I will rewire
a lamp. The man
at the hardware store
gave me the parts
and instructions.
I brought home
strawberries,
blueberries,
heavy cream.
