Repost: An open letter to the Puritans (a poem)
Upon learning that my state has an anti-abortion bill in committee that not only bans abortion from the moment of conception but also declares the state exempt from federal laws and federal court rulings, it’s time to repost this. (I have replicated my subsequent edits, so this version matches the one included in my newest collection of poems.) [Update 5/17/19: I received a reply from my state senator; the bill never received a hearing in committee, and is dead, since the 2019 legislative session has been adjourned.]

Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
It’s not even 10 yet, and I’ve already been to the store and started the crock pot.

Dear Tuesday,
I don’t think that woke me up much, but I feel better.

Women of my dreams (a poem)
I have some really weird dreams sometimes…
Dear Monday…
Dear Monday,
I’m shocked and appalled—all the mail in my mailbox this morning was actually for me!

Dear Sunday…

Happy George Carlin’s birthday!
