alpine meadow-
kneeling to photograph
white heather
warm beer–
heat lightning flickers
beyond the outfield
missing you–
the farrier’s hands
calm the mood mare
first date–
she lets go of my hand

calm evening
the ballgame play-by-play
across the water
the place i can’t reach itches your absence
“calm evening” & “the place” – TAO

“tinyredcheck” Can antitrust law learn from the field of “complexity science“? That intriguing topic is
