Blue Monday: Hoop
A basketball hoop hangs from a garage, San Diego, California.
The basketball hoop stays forlorn
From evening until the next morn.
No kids come to play,
So it’s safe to say
Their absence is what we should mourn.

Freedom
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, San Diego, California
“Freedom isn’t free,” they said,
“You have to pay a price.”
Then they sent us off to war,
Fighting nits and lice,
Fighting other people too,
Who bleed like you and me.
“Did I have to die,” I ask,
“Just so you’d be free?”
