Cats and Karma

I was running around Moundsville, our nearest town, the other day doing errands. At about 4 different places, waiting in line or chatting with acquaintances,  I was making casual conversation about local news.

“Write About a Radish. . .” by Karla Kuskin

Write about a radish
Too many people write about the moon.
The night is black
The stars are small and high
The clock unwinds its ever-ticking tune
Hills gleam dimly
Distant nighthawks cry.
A radish rises in the waiting sky.
