Falling in love is like swallowing grains of sand
to recover the pebble you skipped across the pond

by your childhood home, the ripples setting in

Distraction
December 15, 2022

After work, I rest in the wispy warmth of a waning
December sun. On the table by the window, piles

of half-read books leer at me and I at them.
In the fading light, a hawk swoops by, hungry.

Hungry, I reach for my phone; looking down,
I spot a pile of dust, make a note to sweep it up

Why Does Change Happen?
December 11, 2022

Unfortunately, many of us, especially activists and other change agents, understand far too little about what works and doesn’t, why some protests fizzle out and others lead to transformational change.

Opening Line
December 11, 2022

Last night I dreamt of the perfect opening line
to a poem that would, I had no doubt, piece

If I Had My Way
November 24, 2022

If I had my
way, I suppose there would be no shorelines,

no dying light sinking into bruised-blue lakes, no

Hey Elon, Why Not Make Twitter A Nonprofit?
November 20, 2022

In an increasingly privatized world, it’s worth remembering that some of our most cherished and trusted institutions–NPR, PBS, the USPS, libraries, the Social Security Administration, credit unions–are nonprofit, not-for-profit, quasi-governmental, or governmental entities. And this is true even as trust […]

High Interest Rates Are a Climate Problem
November 16, 2022

In 2008 I was a graduate student with almost no understanding of the financial system–I couldn’t even explain the difference between an interest rate and an APR!–working to launch what would become Capital Good Fund: a nonprofit lender. One day […]

Whoever Wins the Midterms Will Enjoy A Pyrrhic victory
November 8, 2022

Tomorrow is Midterm Election Day, a fact of which, between a bombardment of mailers, text messages, emails, phone calls, TV ads, radio ads, digital ads, billboards, and nonstop press coverage, you are likely aware. If you are eligible to vote, […]
