I try to be respectful to people, especially to writers and poets, of all ages and backgrounds, because there is so little respect left. Except scammers. Latest figures from FBI=$700 million has been stolen from ppl over age60 by scammers, including some with their entire life savings wiped out.

A good thing about the 14th century was the King and noblemen fought on the battlefield with soldiers, to be wounded or perish with the troops. Can't think of another good thing though.

Recent data from used-car listings show Tesla’s resale values plunged double-digits in March, far steeper than any other brand. The Model S led with a 17.2% year-over-year drop, followed by the Model Y at 13.1%, the Model 3 at 10.9%, and the Model X down 7.3%.

Holding fast to this poem tonight by David Cazden in NEW STARS & CONSTELLATIONS (Bainbridge Island Press). “I wake up wishing...” 💙 @dcazdn.bsky.social
AS A CHILD, I HOLD A MERCURY THERMOMETER UNDER MY TONGUE

by David Cazden in NEW STARS & CONSTELLATIONS (Bainbridge Island Press)

Then it drops, glass breaking, 
quicksilver scattering 
like mirrored ball bearings.
Trying to hold it, 
it slips through my hands 
and I feel like Mom 
trying to keep a thought 
after age 50. I imagine 
a substance like mercury 
follows me wherever I go-shining 
on staircases, pooling in plane aisles.
Returning home, I glimpse it 
on gray tile floors,
slipping through keyholes 
where thoughts often leave 
a nursing home's doors.
The night Mom passes, I dream 
she's rummaging in the house, 
rearranging sheets, blankets, 
pinning up laundry
as my shirts and pants flutter 
in the shape of a body.
I wake up wishing 
we are still at Coos Bay 
off the Oregon coast 
in August's isthmus of heat—
Sunlight hits the waves, 
cascading down rocks 
into smooth surf 
holding all our reflections, 
glinting them back to the sky.
