are a fate

well, my excuse for not posting is that i've been teaching, which puts me in a dangerous 'kids say the darndest things' mental space. but...but....i collected their writing folders yesterday, and one of the 3rd graders had scrawled across hers "My poems are great/my poems are a fate."

thanks for the duncan links - and your hike - the 85 degree heat we've been having for a couple of weeks finally broke here. i am excited to actually feel cold. i think that with constant heat i had begun to feel that there were no sensations of any kind.

i need to go swim (is a fate) -
