the news. twenty one peaceful days
and nights
without knowing what the world
is up to. i haven't heard of one
earthquake, or tsunami, or murder
or riot, or mass shooting.
i've lost track of the death count.
on every continent.
i have no clue as to which celebrity
has recently died, that i'm supposed
to feel sorry for.
i don't even watch the weather
channel anymore.
i just look out the window
and stick a leg out the door.
i then clothe myself appropriately.
grabbing an umbrella if need be.
i wished i had thought of this
forty years ago.
no man is an island,
but i'm giving it a shot.
