The Art of Disappearing

When they say Don't I know you? say no.
When they invite you to the party
remember what parties are like
before answering.
Someone telling you in a loud voice
they once wrote a poem.
Greasy sausage balls on a paper plate.
Then reply.
If they say we should get together.
say why? It's not that you don't love them any more.
You're trying to remember something
too important to forget.
Trees.
The monastery bell at twilight.
Tell them you have a new project.
It will never be finished. When someone recognizes you in a grocery store
nod briefly and become a cabbage.
When someone you haven't seen in ten years
appears at the door,
don't start singing him all your new songs.
You will never catch up.
Walk around feeling like a leaf. Know you could tumble any second. Then decide what to do with your time.

baked butternut squash

Dr. Dan offers this for the change in the weather:

Baked Butternut Squash:

Cut a butternut squash in half and scoop out & discard the seeds.
Put a tablespoon of butter into each of the halves.
Then sprinkle a little spoonful of brown sugar on each half and then bake at 350 degrees for a half hour or until the the meat of the squash is soft and ready to eat.
