Happy Haiga Day!
I found a small bag of Barbie shoes the other day. It immediately made me wince. One of the most painful surprises is to step on a Barbie high heel. It is probably on a par with stepping on a LEGO.

mothers warn them:
fashion is pain
no one listens

I join those who mourn the death of Rep. John Lewis. He was an inspiration and his words and actions will be long remembered.

While likenesses in brass or stone
were promised a second life,
there was no holy-day for
a 244 year-old social compact
found near death yesterday, July 4.
Signs point to strangulation.
Nearby stood a heavily made-up
clown, who, over an estimated
1261 days is reported to have left
his fingerprints on everything--
including the victim. The names
of the victim, and the clown,
are being withheld pending
further investigation by the DOJ.
