The Firebombers
by Anne Sexton
We are America.
We are the coffin fillers.
We are the grocers of death.
We pack them in crates like cauliflowers.
The bomb opens like a shoebox.
And the child?
The child is certainly not yawning.
And the woman?
The woman is bathing her heart.
It has been torn out of her
and because it is burnt
and as a last act
she is rinsing it off in the river.
This is the death market.
America,
where are your credentials?

I think I’m turning Japanese
January 21, 2009 | 7:39 pm
Today the first of two shipments from Japan came in. So exciting. I love getting the boxes from Japan. I had a shipment come in from Ichiban Khan yesterday and while I was ordering Japanese things, the shipment was coming from San Fransisco and so doesn’t count.
About two weeks ago I got the itch to do some hookin’. Hookin’ as in crochet, not selling the bod. I sometimes need the extra cash, but yanno, Steve West would probably be a little pissed if I decided to make it on my back. Unless it was a significant amount of cash, probably. The world may never know. So I get the urge to crochet and go looking around Ravelry to see what people are doing. Now, I won’t crochet garments or anything but I’ll do dishcloths and the like. So I am looking around and I come across tawashi. Hmmm…tawashi. Bright, colorful, cute dishcloths/scrubbers. Seriously. I was intrigued. I poked around a little more and discovered that the Japanese have special anti-microbial, scratchy acrylic that they use for tawashi. Damn. I wanted in for sure. So then I went to Etsy and checked out ichigonopantsu’s shop. There I ended up ordering 12 skeins of yarn (she takes special orders!), 3 books, stickers, stationary and a stamp. Why can’t I resist the cute? It’s not just any cute either. It’s the Japanese cute. I am not a cute person nor do I play a cute person on T.V. but I cannot. resist. So here we go. If I am absent I am off crocheting my way to tawashi glory.
