I have been having a fairly intense summer thus far: in and out of town multiple times (leaving again on Friday), teaching a class, working on a book, and trying (really trying) to have a life. Sadly, this little blog has been a casualty in that I have posted few updates during the past three weeks. I had no idea I would feel so conflicted! In honor of that theme, here is a nearly-forgotten poem from a book I wrote several lifetimes ago:
well, who would want
insensitive greenery
anyway?
i keep
assuming
the plants
will
forgive me--
been
much too
occupied
