the frustrations of paperwork or red tape
which should now i assume be called
computerwork or cybertape
are hard to fight. when i do
email mysterious people with complaints,
i get vicious responses
or none at all.
thankfully i went for a walk
and saw my two funny
friends
maybe the fog is not just in the air
maybe
it's just that the winter is
so
long
coming
there was snow today
a little
fighting into december.
but the warm wind
coughed it away.
this weirdness of money
all of it
frustrates me.
and then i see these beautiful
high bush cranberries
in the murk of late afternoon
and know that these few things
are indeed worth something
no money
but
cranberries.
