God doggerel: Untitled
For a bag of rotten meat
Hung on a weak frame of bone
Such as me
To dare lift eyes to heaven!
To dare not away in shame!
Arrogance!
But I will do as we’re told:
Prostrate myself and yet stand
With hands raised --
Quiet myself and sing praise,
Lurch into God’s own presence.
Mystery!

Sometimes people are compelled to comment, sometimes I stump 'em. This mighta been one of the latter. I woke up with it all but written in my head.
Late night and an early morning. Today, I've managed some productivity -- but I did take two hours to watch "Fahrenheit 451." I just read the book, along with just about every other Ray Bradbury book, over the summer.
The movie was wonderfully dated in that '60s old-timey futuristic way. And, at the end, when the Book People are introducing themselves to Montague, I snorted and laughed out loud when this red-headed teenager bounded up and said, "I'm 'The Martian Chronicles' by Ray Bradbury!" Dee-lish!
Now, I have to add two more American Indian femmie sources and citations to my paper, then rewrite it to make a 15-minute presentation ...

One thing for sure, if you lived then you would know where all the pyromaniacs would work.
