Gov Richardson of New Mexico drops out of Democratic Prez race. I'm saddened by this fact because he had a very impressive resume of accomplishments plus he's a minority plus he was the true underdog plus I liked the fact that during the democratic debate he was able to actually answer the questions Charlie Gibson posed plus he was impassioned, seasoned and reasoned levelly with idea of change AND experience plus he was a likeable person but Richardson didn't have the star power or celebrity status of the other candidates. Oh well, maybe next go roun' "Please bury me in the library" ...ran across this book title and for some reason it gave me a comforting thought. Yeah, hide me in tombs of knowledge, incidently I wrote a poem awhile back...not a great one but it comes close to that feeling of gorging, becoming a glutton for words, for thought, for knowledge, for life... I can't deny myself Last call announced, doors are soon closing but already in the car, surrounding me are books in the seat, on the floor, now-in my lap at dusk I strain to read lines on pages that betray me, the only light a lamp post overhead becomes a savior for my thirst barely enough to cover the open page, the swatch of light drapes across my book and I can hear my mama’s voice “you shouldn’t read in the dark” but it becomes as inviting as a lake or river to a waterless fish… I immerse myself I am an oasis, a desert without sand -karma
