This is just to say

I know it's everywhere

but every few months this pops into my head... 

This is just to say... 

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox 

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

 - William Carlos Williams 

From NPR's This American Life's special segment on this poem

From Shalom Auslander, two of my favorites: 

I’m sorry you’re overweight
And drinking
And feeling like everything
In your life
Is doomed to failure
But this is probably why
Mom said
I was her favorite

---------------------------

He was a troublemaker, okay
And didn’t know when
To shut up

Still
We never would have killed him
If we’d known he was the Lord

What would you say?
