Comments from Stan and Becky and me.
Thanks for your essay on the state of things.
Katherine, inconsolable.
Yes, fascism and the first horseman, I heard that white male
militias are now proudly arming themselves in the states.
War and walls all around us now.
So SAD for the beleaguered planet. He will probably re-open
coal mines, doesn’t believe in climate change, and women and gays
will lose all rights, thanks to a horrid supreme court about to be stacked.
Back in the dark ages now.
We are philosophers watching the decline of the new Rome.
Love from Katherine.
I have never been so shocked in my entire life. I woke up at 5:30 just in time to see that horrid announcement. I had no idea racism and sexism was so rampant in the states. We will be at war in no time, thousands of young people will be slaughtered, and freedom has left the world. I hope everyone who voted for that pompous evil blow-hard gets exactly what they deserve.
I'd say the first horseman has arrived.

I was shocked too. Sad for friends in USA.
Here are my series of haiku: American Dream
fruit ice cream
with green tea
our first and last meeting
*
endlessly debating
into this deep autumn -
how much we want green
*
early dawn
on our lawn
staking a “for sale” sign
*
gravestones
hard rain
in the rock lion’s eyes
*
candlelight
laying out
poppy after poppy
*
along the wall
leaves falling
American dream
