August 18, 2013 – I started my day


I started my day
        with a walk –

and a submarine
 sank and burned –

and a thousand
peaceful protesters died –

and a vice-president
    resigned –

and a press conference
was inconsequential –

and we had dinner
                                with friends.

    I like this. It's so real. Isn't this what we all do? We get up and start our day, do our own thing until going to bed, and in between a hundreds of millions of things happen in this big, giant world, many that we learn of through the news and many we never come to know. This poem is a nice little slice of life.
