Poetry, the imagination, and the creative life.

From the internet "Relationship Advice Files:"

Farts happen . . . . But just because you're comfortable enough to pass gas in front of your partner doesn't mean it should be a free-for-all. You or your partner should try to remain discreet and, at the very least, say excuse me.

This one made Dean and I laugh out loud. And I'm not sure, but I think one of us may have pooted.

Poetry is what maintains our capacity for contemplation and difficulty. — Carolyn Forche
