LEFTOVERS

The meal last night at the Overlook Café 

wasn’t bad - but it wasn’t memorable. 

Now the leftovers - right here - right now 

for lunch - and the conversation we’re having  - 

now we’re cooking - now we’re talking - 

now we’re laughing about things we’ve 

been overlooking for too, too long a time.

Thought for today: 

“I  can  pardon  everyone’s  mistakes  but my  own.”

VALUE

It used to be a penny, a bright copper penny,

Abe Lincoln looking at us - up from the mud ….

And any kid finding it or an old person bending

towards the ground picking it up and saying,

“Look at this: a lucky penny!” Now Abe has

been voted out from that office. So too

Alexander Hamilton on a nickel and Harry

S. Truman on the dime. They are too little

or too poor to be picked up -  but George

on the quarter or the dollar bill - he still

gets picked up and pocketed  from the

ground or from in between the pillows of

a chair or a couch. Wonder at times: How

much am I worth - muddy, hidden me?

Thought for today: 

“In the game of  life  it’s a good idea to have a few early loses, which relieves you of the  pressure  of trying to maintain an undefeated season.”
