one half hour
til the book report begins
this can b a positive experience
for myself and my son
i say over and over
in wishful preparation

h

i met an indian boy
at barnes and nobel
of course of course
his name was christian
a tiny touch of downs
an angel

i resist going to the mall
but whenever i do
it fills me
someone somehow

he is seven - looks 5
slight - he rocks slightly
left 2 right
soothing himself
smiling

i am christian this is my daddy
he told me - locking eyes
hello christian my name is rosie i am a mommy
hello rosie this train is thomas

(that tank engine table in the childrens section
a brilliant idea truly)

we chatted
i introduced chelsea and blake
who kept appearing holding a book
waiting for a yes or no
giving it to me happily
or grunting away to find another

as i left his dad stood up
r u from the tv - he asked with tender eyes
yes i said
he nodded

a long blink

spingle
god says hey
keep going

may we all release the desire to receive
for oneself alone

peace

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Rosie O'Donnell married her longtime girlfriend Thursday, taking what she called a proud stand for gay civil rights in the city where more than 3,300 other same-sex couples have tied the knot since February 12.
"I want to thank the city of San Francisco for this amazing stance the mayor has taken for all the people here, not just us but all the thousands and thousands of loving, law-abiding couples," the former talk show host, holding a large bouquet of purple and yellow flowers, said after she and Kelli Carpenter emerged from their brief ceremony inside Mayor Gavin Newsom's office.
Earlier Thursday, O'Donnell announced her wedding plans on ABC's "Good Morning America," just two days after President Bush called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
She said the president's call is what inspired her to come to San Francisco, where city officials continue to perform same-sex weddings even as state courts are considering the legality of those marriages.
"I think the actions of the president are, in my opinion, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president," O'Donnell, who lives in the New York City region, said on the program. "I am stunned and I'm horrified.
"I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral. And, you know, if civil disobedience is the way to go about change, then I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco. And I hope they put more people on the steps to marry as many people as show up. And I hope everyone shows up."
