I went down to the San Diego Civic Center this morning for a "Move On" rally... to show my support for a citizens' demand that Congress and the Administration take a firm stand and eliminate the Bush tax breaks for America's wealthiest citizens.  I took the following picture of a detail from the fountain at the Center.  The water was turned off, so I'm assuming the coloration is natural... like the flowers I found later in the day on a hillside near our house.

Spring is like a perhaps hand
by E. E. Cummings


Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.
