    Being poor now just leads to being more poor later. Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out? Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest.

    Just saw my oncologist for my annual check up. We had very little to talk about health-wise, for once. Instead: he asked me what the hold up on babies is, if my transplant was worth it, and blew me a kiss goodbye.

    Gnight. Sometimes there's traffic in every lane, A galaxy of folks moving in the same direction. Peace to the kids asleep in backseats, Peace to the miracle of merging lanes, wherein we inch forward and learn to let each other in, & peace and patience to you, on your way home.
