I found a lovely poem in Women's Day magazine. Isn't it lovely?

Apology
by Laura Gilpin

You gave me your heart
like a polished apple
and being young
I bit into it,

letting my teeth
pierce the tight skin
while the juices
dripped down between
my fingers.

Forgive me.
It was delicious
and we were both
so young.

I'm going to send a copy to Lori. I think she'd like it.

I only have 23 Wildlife Stamps left. I hope I can get some more. But my finances are being stretched to the breaking point:

Yaba ($.?)
Larkspur (..)
Flicka (..)
Bike lock ($1.47)
Novel ($.?)
Midnight (..)
And countless other things.

If I ever get my books published, I'll buy trips to the poor countries and, with the excess money, I'll give it to the poor people. I'll start relief places so people can get food and shelter and medical care.

It's really not fair for White people to be rich and black, yellow, and brown people to be poor.
