In the station workers are going home.
The transitive verb is on their side.
And when they look out the windows
They see that trees are on their side,
Blackbirds, thistles, a lost bicyclist,
All proclaim the victory.
It's time to clean house
And move the furniture outdoors.
Steve who?
Here.There.Everywhere. Catch him if you can!

Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability
This book (of poems and essays by accomplished poets living with disabilities)...is "going to be one of the defining collections of the 21st century." - Ron SillimanStephen Kuusisto: Do Not Interrupt: A Playful Take on the Art of Conversation (AARP)
NEW! In this erudite and playful primer on the art of conversation Stephen Kuusisto vigorously tackles the slippery subject of how to converse meaningfully with others. Kuusisto employs a wide range of personal anecdotes, classical texts, and an engaging style to illustrate his points. In seven short, provocative and imaginatively wrought chapters, he spins a compelling argument for the joys of “being connected,” and skillfully shows how to achieve this bond in everyday exchanges.Rebecca Skloot: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
