Babarian Snippet - Bruce Isaacson

While I was reading a poem by Bruce Isaacson (Lost My Job & Wrote This Poem) this line jumped up and hit me between the eyes: "I have strip mined love for poetry."

What a great idea. Strip mining causes a large mess, but is very efficient in exposing the substance being mined.

How many poems have been written about love since time immemorial? Countless numbers but I suspect only a handful were strip mined.

Tired

Another exhausting week
I hate projects
but I love them too
its a love-hate thing
I guess

When things go well
they go very, very well
but when the wheels fall off
things get nasty

But it helps to pay
the bills
and project friends
are friends for life
a strong band of brothers and sisters
