not your mom's socks.

I liked the poem , but like many poets she can't read her own work

I liked the start of the poem a lot - the idea of words and power and shape and form. Got hooked on a line that ended in 'of' and couldn't rebound.

Makes me want to go play my CD with Yeats on it.

"Non-believers" includes both atheists and agnostics, so it's also more inclusive even if it does lacks teeth. And like others have said - I'm just so happy to be acknowledged as a citizen that I truly don't care what word he used. It's a good day to be a godless heathen in America!

Not quite Maya Angelou.

Yeah, I had been hoping for her as well.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also the thing about "non-believer" is that is also includes agnostics.

Huh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That was a great benediction.
