The Hatchery: a blog about my adventures in bird watching

  • Dipping a Toe: It’s Messy

    Am I ready For “Trump” And “Bannon” and “The Alt Right”? Am I ready for the hate they inspire? The problem is not them. The problem is the hate. And I don’t think I’m ready. The strength you need to take in hate and convert it to love is beyond me. I would much rather […]

  • Birds on a Wire

    My ideas, again, flown Like birds on a wire. They sit for a moment Usually until I disturb them with a look And then, alas…they alight One great cloud of inseparable beauty That I can never touch or examine But only relish that I was there for the alighting And disappearance. And that I am […]

  • Stopping by the Internet on a Snowy Night.

    I don’t believe in anything Except the confusion, And, sometimes…perception. Ranting at or because of Facebook is like…I can’t even say. But it has been said. And I hope I can quietly change And learn to better live… But I hate going to sleep, when there are pixels left to eat, when there are pixels […]

  • The Worst Pain

    The mind is a terrible thing To waste. I had a preconceived notion Then I gave birth To the notion that most of my notions Are ill conceived or, at least, Conceived from ill. There is really only one deepest pain For me. -All the rest are more like PR pain- That’s the pain when […]

  • It Is So Much Bigger

    A mother coddled her son. She asked, at every turn, “What would you like” “Oatmeal or eggs, fruit or toast” Both? “And how would you like it”, she asked. She attended to him. “Let me help you with your socks.” “Let me help you with your clothes.” “Let me help you be less frustrated.” “Let […]

  • Do Something Hard

    The doldrums come fast But with a motor boat it doesn’t matter Of course, that’s the problem. I’m a sailor on a motorboat How did I get on this motorboat? Well it’s been a long time. A long, long time. And I have preferred fumes And power. And have forgotten That it’s the winds that […]

  • Desk Chair Humanity

    Desk chairs Corner office Confused around a table. A gaggle of chairs. The building, I can’t see it’s end or sides or back. There are so many desk chairs. And so many offices with so many tables. There are so many desk chairs, confused around tables. There are so many buildings that I can’t see […]

  • The Beast

    People believe what they want to believe What do you believe? Where are you indignant? Are you sure? Have you ever been wrong? Are you usually surprised when you find you’re wrong? Do you feel”Sheepish” when you find out you’re wrong? Do you teach your children to never be wrong? Or do you teach them […]

  • Alone. Awoke.

  • Rooting for Trump

    I found myself wanting him to win. Despite the fact that there’s a good chance he is sociopath, I want him to win. It feels like redemption to me, like throwing out the kitchen sink the baby the nose. It’s like it’s our only hope. Like antibiotics or Chemo The nuclear option because the cancer […]
