π
They glide in numbers on the evening air,
Cavorting soundlessly with maven grace,
Their wavelike moves attest to artful flair,
Such aptitude none other can replace;
These master mariners one needs to see
In flight, their splendour to appreciate,
Their rhythmic dance induces reverie,
The most disturbing thought forms to sedate;
Observing grand display from where I sit,
Reclining in a chair in garden, still,
A thought occurs to me, may I submit,
These denizens perform, my heart to thrill;
The most banal of nature’s spectacle
Is pregnant with potential miracle!

every day (no exaggeration) there is some new crisis…really quite interesting to observe. If a Russian and American meet…the R has an interpretor, but the A does not, does that beg the question: are they speaking English? The R is likely bilingual, the A…unlikely. hmmm

at great peril! The Rs are scared to death of Trump because of his loyal base of rabble. He is trying to force a floor vote to put them all on the spot, and I think they need to go home and talk to their constituents. I believe that anything…literally anything…could happen.
