At the corner of two main streets
he waits to cross.
Newspaper headlines cry
Death at the Corner!
He wonders if a driver’s inattention
is the equivalent of a bomb
in a library.
He can hear the librarian
shushing the bomber.
He wonders if that kid
on the cell phone
at the next table
is texting the driver
of the approaching car.
A gust of wind
gives him a nudge:
he steps off the curb.

Saving Your Favourites
If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:
"Print this post" -- creates a printable screen

"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
