April Blues
by E.D Kain
it’s something about the pollen
maybe, yellow
infinitesimal dust in her hair,
or maybe the indecision
of the sun
(the skies gray one day,
clear the next)
that brings this blue
to her brown eyes,
this shade to our
green lawn,
this parade of ghosts
to each star spattered midnight;
each dewswept dawn.
(not to flood this blog with poetry, but I’ve been through a long dry spell and now two poems in a week!)

Borat: “I do a picture, only small, of the Tishnik Masacre. Where many Uzbeks…crushed!”
Kindly Gray Hippie: “How did you feel when you drew this?”
Borat: “Very proud!”.
KGH: “I’m just listening with sadness…a little sadness for your people…?”
Borat: “Yes…no, it is not sad. It is us who do the kill!”
When in doubt, consult the classics [5:30 mark].

Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:
If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.
