Windmills (and the Quixote's 400th birthday)
Calculus, measuring and predicting change
Food plants of the Sonoran desert
This just a taste
of the world's wonders
complexities of governance.
Who owns these mountains,
that desert? Neither
the jack rabbit nor the jaguar.
Powerless but grateful.
The planes descend
discharging us to snow or saguaro.
When the hedgehog cactus attacked
Zach's leg and he grabbed it with his naked hand
there was that day a howling in the wilderness.
As commission chair, I have missed
every deadline, failed to lead
my town against the state and corporate turbines.
Ethnobotany
agriculture
genetic engineering
What are your feelings about power?
If you were president
what would your program be?
