Monsoons: clouds build up.
They burst and I’m trapped. Then they
Create a river.
El Rio Biblioteca
Quarter-sized raindrops
Hit the windscreen. I watch
While reading my book
Pedernal: a dusky sunrise
Well hello deer!
The car shop kitten
Entertains me while I pay
The car repair bill.

I swim lazy laps,
Paced by a red dragonfly.
What's the attraction?

Last wild plant field trip,
Hiking Frijoles Canyon.
I love Bandelier.

While I was sorry
The venue was not outdoors,
It was plenty hot.

Says "I tune because I care."
Can't help but approve.

For my nephew Jack:
I have it on good authority that the reason orchestras are willing to play in exposed venues, such as Santa Fe's opera house, is because the musicians are not afraid of lighting/electricity. That's what conductors are for.

Dear Hillsboro fair,
Today's commute really sucks
And it's all your fault

A perfect description of the reaction most people have to my singing....
"It was like one of the Old English ballads my mother taught us to sing while she played the piano. Each song had thirty or forty verses, which would leave my male relatives flattened to our couches and armchairs as if by centrifugal force, staring unblinking up at the ceiling." Anne Lamott is so great.
