poem- the line June 20, 2014

Picket signs

propped in front of us

we strike for a better world

either strolling the side walk

or strumming harp

or guitar.

A strike is like a barbeque

for a cause

fueled by coffee and doughnuts

instead of beer and beef.

  1. This is nice. Is it based on a real protest, or just something you came up with. If it is real, what were you protesting, if you don’t mind me asking. I like what I’ve read of your work, and I think the photos you have on your blog were taken beautifully.

  3. Like how you compared bbq to a strike. Nice analogy.
