hmm in keeping with the general season

Any seattlites out there
I have a couple of idears
for initiatives
that would
actually be simple
and do some good

1) Kill sound transit (or at least the non regional commuter part)
its bloated and ineffective
and they probably wont even be able to
make it to the Udistrict
as things go now

2) Kill the plans for the new city hall - make all capital expenditure be subjected to a public vote
time the mayor and city hall learn, they need to take care of our needs before new toys

3) Create an income tax on people who work in Seattle and live elsewhere
they use our roads and facilities and don't pay the property taxes to pay for them
there is a precedent for this
NYC has a city income tax
I would just recommend
a credit to those
who actually live here

would love
to hear your thoughts

P

silence

outside
the fog rolls in
blanketing

the street
in an uneasy calm

visibility
maybe 10 feet

breathing in
the cold damp
fog

slowly
in
out

absorbing
the tranquility within

a short walk

a brief experience

that reaches
inside me
and wakes something
neglected
forgotten
ignored

quiet

simple

peace

fills me

it is time

to let go

all that

I have
secreted away
for so long
