Helen Keller Quote
John Cloutier

As the World Series begins
so does the beginning of the end of fall.
6:30 slick silver, gold roads
absorb every ill fitting dress shoe footstep,
every fallen leaf, every drop...
Blood stains
every black sock
I own.
Their eyes light up
with every dollar store prize
hurdling through the air
toward them.
Answering reader response questions
has never been so much fun.
Someone wrote a quote from the book on the board,
"Life is suffering and anyone who tells you otherwise
is selling you something."
There is a very thin line
between
what they do know
and what they do not know.
On the very last day
I will write:
"Life is full of suffering
and life is full of overcoming suffering,"
and will sell them the truth
by giving it to them for free.
