June 20: Summer Solstice Morning

Summer solstice morning sun shines

on the leafy green Pittsburgh suburbs

and everywhere, axial precession

performing its magic once again,

causing season to follow season,

a circle game of torque and time

that we experience here today

as the longest day of the year;

and I will be in meetings all day.

February 9: Too Much Nose Blowing

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
