where bacteria comes from
where virus come from
where viruses morph
where cells are born
where white cells multiply
where red cells multiply…..
maybe that’s why there’s so much toilet paper hoarding!

in dandelion in the wind, Poetry Tags: blowin' in the wind, dandelion in the wind, heart of my love, I heard you, I pass'd the church, little bells under my ear, long-stretched sighs, singing in the opera, so mournful, Solemn -Sweet Pipes of the wind, the midst of the quartet, the perfect Italian tenor, the pulse of you, the woods at dusk, the wrists around my head, Walt Whitman, winds of Autumn

blowin’ in the wind
I Heard You Solemn-Sweet Pipes of the Organ
by Walt Whitman
I heard you solemn-sweet pipes of the organ as last Sunday morn I pass’d the church,
Winds of autumn, as I walk’d the woods at dusk I heard your long-stretch’d sighs up above so mournful,
I heard the perfect Italian tenor singing at the opera, I heard the soprano in the midst of the quartet singing;
Heart of my love! you too I heard murmuring low through one of the wrists around my head,
Heard the pulse of you when all was still ringing little bells last night under my ear.

One Day
by Laura Foley
I didn’t read the news.
I raked a rainbow
of pungent autumn leaves,
played abroad with happy dogs,
held my granddaughter in my arms,
and sat beneath an amiable maple,
attentive to current events.
