Prayer for Uninteresting Times by Brian Bilston


Send me a slow news day,

a quiet, subdued day,
in which nothing much happens of note,
save for the passing of time,
the consumption of wine,
and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.


Grant me a no news day,
a spare-me-your-views day,
in which nothing much happens at all,
except a few hours together
some regional weather,
a day we can barely recall.

Fame by Emily Dickinson

Fame is a bee. It has a song— It has a sting— Ah, too, it has a wing.
