While I don't usually ascribe to guilt by association, whom someone consistently associates with has become increasingly important now that we have an administration based on crony relationships. So, it seems worth noting that not only was Hillary Clinton employed by the Stephens Group during her lawyering years, but Jackson Stephens, after having supported Poppy, provided seed money to Bill Clinton for his run in 1991 and then backed Georgie in 1999. Whether Stephen was just hedging his bets or backing a spoiler who wasn't supposed to win, is unknowable. What seems fairly certain is that these people are rather thin in the principle department. Of course, Hillary demonstrated that in the health-care debacle which, more and more, looks like an exercise to demonstrate what can't be done. Not very different from the Republican'ts.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars
