Awash

My mind is drifting. Again. This time, I’m wondering what would have happened to the world had Carthage had defeated Rome in the Punic wars.

Fat chance you say…

Seems I read, just yesterday, from an old issue of Time magazine, that it was Ho Chi Minh and his merry band of guerillas that messed up the growing empire of corporations.

In your dreams pal!

A new text message reminds me that my son is still waiting for me; my granddaughter wanting to show me her new plush rabbit. It makes me wonder if is like the one I had when I was her age.

even now
two squirrels
chase each other
