Critical Positions in the Obama Administration

So, we've been discussing the dog dilemma. What kind of dog should it be?

Our family votes for Miniature Schnauzers, and/or a Miniature Poodle/ Schnauzer mix.

Yes, that would be excellent.

But there should be two.

We've all voted, and we agree.

Hmmm. Interesting. My worry is that if they choose a particular breed it'll become instantly, globally, untenably popular and the puppy farms will swing into their loathsome action. Much as, of course, I love your unanimous conclusion/s I'm rather hoping myself it's a definition-defying mix from a rescue/shelter. (That's when I'm not rooting for a border terrier cross.)

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
