It's going to be OK. Even though it's raining, even though I'm tired, even though there are a million errors in Blogger right now and everyone's freaking out about them, it will all be OK. Things will get fixed. Email will get answered. Posts will publish. People will survive. Contrary to popular belief (read: bloggers' belief), there are more important things in the world than Blogger. (This is mostly a note to myself.)
Creaking to the post office
on my rusty bike
I saw one purple iris
wild in the wet green
of the rice field.
I wanted to send it to you.
I can only tell you
it was there.
