• on New Year's Recipe by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, on December 31, 2008

  
  Drummond, in "New Year's Recipe"
  admonishes the reader not
  '...to half believe
  That by the decree of hope
  From January onward things will change
  And everything will be brightness, reward,
  Justice among men and nations..."
  
  But January 20, 2009 in Washington, DC, USA
  one might want to fully believe....
  
• on Sonnet: What Lips My Lips Have Kissed by Edna St. Vincent Millay, on December 28, 2008

  Edna lets her past slip by
  with "unremembered" names,
  but to me it seems she may
  wwell recall each muidight
  tryst in great detail.
• on A Winter Walk by John Albee, on July 26, 2008

  Yemassee, the truth you see
  in what took place in Albee's mind
  as he pondered which to celebrate,
  the dry preacher or the mouse who lived
  but now so stiff and dead
  dying in his last endeavor.
  And of course, as you point out,
  the mouse won out in Albee's mind
  and made it to his text!

• on Shoulders Support The World by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, on June 18, 2008

  It appears acceptance has ovethrown
  the spirited fight for rights, for love, for life.
  
  "...no point in dying...
  No good reasons, I agree.
  
  Not yet in the mode of acceptance.
