More Gifts in Quarantine

In the tower we all received the boxes from Kagro of Maryland yesterday. Tubes of instant coffee, two different types of ramen noodles and two choco- mallow cakes. More importantly, it contained face masks, gloves and a roll of tissue. Thanks Yumi Hogan, First Lady of Maryland and fellow alum of the Art School. She received aid from South Korea and here we are pleased to be blessed with bomb shelter packets.

Sins

There ain’t no rest for the wicked
‘Till we close our eyes for good.
It’s easy to be righteous 
When your mind is made of wood.
When your faith is blind,
You just can’t see reality,
Praying to a fictive deity.
Why do you heed to study a book
When it’s memorized indelibly?
Untether your mind
And set yourself free...
Have a beer and smoke
To be wicked, like me!

More Kindness

My refrigerator and freezer are full! I have never gotten such volumes of free food! In addition to the items I shopped for, my door gets knocked on daily and a volunteer wearing gloves and a face mask hands me a care package. I wonder what to do with all of this milk I can’t drink.
