Unrest

Sequester
Sounds like cloister
Yet how could there
Be opportunity for
Contemplation?

I feel for them
I wouldn’t want to be there
I feel for them for now
Though if they go against
My thinking, I will no longer
Care for their
Discomfort

Such is the life of jurors
I tried it for a day
At the insistence of my county
It’s rather claustrophobic,
Though in my case
(I mean, my jury time)
We all did well
I was relieved
Before I was relieved
Received a check
A few days later

I’m saying this
On behalf
Of the jurors in Minnesota
Deciding Chauvin’s guilt
Or innocence
Where we note with ease
From our safer places
The troops, the APCs
(whatever their affiliation)
Set around
The courthouse

For the past few days, I couldn’t get into WordPress. The search wheel would go round and round, and no web page for WordPress appeared. After making some browser and other changes, it seems I have access again. I still want to cut-and-paste my work, and WordPress still doesn’t recognize the breaks in text I make while drafting in my word-processing program and then posting here. I’m still grrrr-ing over this. With Browning’s speaker in the Spanish Cloister.

Gr-r-r—there go, my heart’s abhorrence!
Water your damned flower-pots, do!
If hate killed men, Brother Lawrence,
God’s blood, would not mine kill you!

‘St, there’s Vespers! _Plena grati
Ave, Virgo!_ Gr-r-r—you swine!
