Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost

April is over. May moon.
How many more for my regard,
hundreds, a handful?
Better not trouble the dark water due north of north.
Better to concentrate on something close, something small.
This stick, for instance. This word.
–Charles Wright
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

It took him a long time to get a baseball in that series of sportsballs, but he finally managed it toward the end. His next project should be an unassisted triple play.

That’s the first thing I’ve ever seen thats more convoluted and inefficient than the Federal Budgeting process

I especially liked the rake. But I’m not sure why.
But it doesn’t have any looting, or burning, or one guy down on the ground while a dozen joggers put the boot in. It’s whimsical and inspiring. Thank you, Gerard.
I agree! HH, that’s just what I was about to comment too. I laughed at the rake part, not sure why.
