may day

A year ago at this hour, a tweet. -@pourmecoffee. What a wacky May Day that was. “A pol had to cancel his plan|For the banner beneath which he ran|Which read that “Obama|Cannot find Osama”|When now it appears: Yes, he can.”
There was once an elite gymnast named Alexis Maday.
Sunday school teachers should not have to have brain surgery.
Perfectly suited lovers should never need to be forced into a new and terrifying reality. (Edit/note: this is not about me, so no one worries. But it is about someone I know. So think of them. K thanks.)
And yet it happens.
Life ≠fair.
Hang out with your lover(s) tonight and be happy to have them.

& happy May Day.
