No Uber this morning

I was running 45 minutes early

But still too rushed to finish

An excellent cup of coffee

Sitting on my deck five stories high

While writing a poem.

Instead, I sit canceled

By three Uber drivers

Watching small cars on my phone

on a bench at the side of the road.

A man walking four corgies

No leashes except a treat or two.

Three of the four corgies

Stay close to him

Eager for a treat.

The fourth always seems

On the verge of being left behind

He lingers soaking up the fragrances

Of a city sidewalk

And the shoes of a man

Waiting for an Uber.

Just a simple update on my life and the world.  Of course, my bias impacts my view of what is happening in the world.  I am not sure your world will be any richer if you listen, but I feel better saying it.   Thanks for the few of you that listen ... have a good day my friends, Namaste, 

Elijah, sometimes heroes walk the earth near you.  Uncle Floyd was a hero that walked among humans and near me that I did not see at the time.  Perhaps some heroes are near you.

What makes something fair?  Perhaps it has to do with the story you tell about it?

Instead of cranking up the battle between pro-choice and pro-life, shouldn't both sides be more focused on the needs of the mother and the children.  Childcare seems one of the most pressing needs.   Can not both sides unite and focus on childcare, etc.?

When people are afraid to speak up and contest decisions, is that the same as curtailing freedom of speech?  What are consequences of people being afraid to speak up?

What has Germany done to move away from Green?

What is fracking?  Is it good or bad?  Should we share the knowhow?

Only rich countries with established energy sources can afford to go green.   If a country doesn't have an established supply of low cost energy, then they are not rich enough to go green.  

So how do we help poor countries go green?  Help them get energy like natural gas so they can develop their economies and eventually afford to go green.  That does not seem to be what we are planning.
