A Smattering in June

So much depends on how we feel

We wonder with A.I. - what’s real?

No Government in Belgium still …

Graz school suffers over-kill …

 

Heat wave promised this week end

While Gaza residents must fend

For themselves – since aid is scarce;

Deep sorrows for my daily verse.

 

More famous deaths: Sly Stone this week

And should we of poor Fabian speak?

On this day “E.T.” appeared;

That he captured hearts was weird…

 

Our longest evenings are in sight

There’s talk of Strawberry Moon tonight …

Haphazard thoughts caught in mid-flow

But what this means, we cannot know.
