Cherry Pie Complaining Lesson: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku
March 1, 2011When I was young, my Grandma Bertha took the last piece of cherry pie, split it in half, and gave a piece to my sister and a piece to me. I examined the two pieces and loudly objected. “She has a bigger piece!”
Grandma quickly took my piece, said something like “I’m sorry you don’t like yours”, and ate it herself. I got nothing…except a lesson.
When I complain, I/
don’t get what i want. Truth? I/
get nothing at all.

Does Grandma have to hear? No!/ Letting go/ of an Oma/ in a Coma: A revolutionary conTEXTing poem
October 24, 2009The context of this? A friend’s grandmother was lingering, dying but not willing to leave. I wrote my friend the following conTEXTing poem. When she wrote back “I thought she had to hear; she’s in a coma!” I responded with the story of MY grandmother’s death, where I was the only one with her. I whispered “Grandma, I love you. It’s okay to go now.'” And she passed away. I texted my friend as she watched over her grandmother: “It’s soul communication. Not loud. Love.”
Did you whisper/
softly to her:/
“Grandma, it’s okay to go/
We can take care/
of ourselves/
you know”./
But sometimes they dont/
know it’s ok,/
so they won’t/
go away.
