What’s New

What’s New

What’s news today

Is not the White House

Another administration might agree

It’s seventy-one

People who died when a plane in

Russia crashed

Adversaries, allies

Doesn’t matter

For all should be allied

In tragedy, in prayer

In all recoveries that must

Transpire

This trumps all

Care or not

Doesn’t matter to lives lost

But to help those who must live

Can’t restore the loss

Can promise a

Future

If we are there to say it

For some, that would be new to hear,

New to do

I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that. I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.) I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher

  There are days when I think we’re looking at everything but what really matters. Thanks, Amanda!

    Yes, you are very right. The elephant in the room but we refuse to see it.
