Technology affects our lives in profound and interesting ways. Sometimes it is the smaller things that cause me to stop and think about why I am so glad I live in this world when I do. It's such a pleasure to receive an email from home with the subject "turkey/pool" where the body simply says:
a turkey was just in our yard! and he pooped on the concrete!
the sump pump is not working and there is water on the pool - don't know what to do.
An accidental poem constructed around a small, personal, visceral event is something that I wouldn't have found before email.
whether or not she realizes it, your wife is indeed a poet.
thanks for sharing her wonderful poem!
