Wonderland or Not

As the last day of poetry month arri­ved I was rea­ding all the dis­tur­bing Ari­zona immi­gra­tion gar­bage when I was momen­ta­rily dis­trac­ted by something that, even in my rela­ti­vely short life, I would never have ima­gi­ned I’d be rea­ding. An article about Hugo Cha­vez exhor­ting Fidel Cas­tro and Evo Mora­les to Twit­ter. This all coin­ci­ding with the end of John Mayer’s love affair with twit­ter, as he aban­dons the twit for the tumblr, proc­lai­ming he is “over it”.

Far be it for me to say, but word on the street is John had bet­ter take Jim Carrey with him because Jim is frea­king out on Twit­ter.

I apo­lo­gize for that digres­sion. I often post while I think, and that was the case with the pre­vious meanderings.

For the last day of poetry month I’m going with this timely piece by Langs­ton Hughes.

Let Ame­rica be Ame­rica again.
