Worked out the gist of this while driving to work this morning, wrote it down at lunch and re-worked it tonight.<\/p>\n

The raspy, ragged news –
\nhard listening while commuting
\nwhether public radio bass or
\nBritish schooled voice.
\nThe sentences get tangled
\nas the car moves along,
\nthe light of today increases
\nbut the grasp of today
\nin places outside this car:
\nUkraine, China, Washington,
\nscience, history, politics –
\nscramble and tear
\ntrying to focus, losing the horizon
\nuntil, at last, the radio’s button
\nrestores peace to this world.
\nThe sky spits rain at the car.
\nThe windshield blades wipe tears away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And turns out, I could manage the NaPoWriMo.net prompt today because I had stuck one of my most favorite little inanimate objects into my pocket this morning. I showed it to a couple co-workers, telling one it was probably the most “Apple-like” thing I own (not actually an Apple product of course): it fits my hand perfectly, feels wonderful, fulfills its purpose perfectly and is gaze-grabbing.<\/p>\n

A small thing of love
\nfits perfectly in my hand
\nwooden needle case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
