Uncharacteristically,
today I listened to 35 minutes
of what's considered news
by thousands who tune in.
Top news? Starburst
has a new package of
all pink candy.
And a new app called
Women Interrupted
was highly recommended
to much applause.
I confess: Women marching
in silly pink pussy hats
spewing their own brand of
putrid hate is not silly at all
and makes me embarrassed
to call myself
a woman.
Does this app
also track how
many times women
interrupt other women
or how many times women
interrupt men?
The bullied become bullies.
The tolerant aren't so tolerant.
Facts are buried. Opinions go
viral in a world turned upside down,
backwards and inside out.
Earl told us to learn to live with irony.
But I'm losing the hang of it.
The only thing I can hold on to,
the only thing familiar,
the only thing I know any
more when I see it -
is love.
It's still the same
all over the world -
yesterday,
today
and forever.
It never ends.
Amen.
