She's heard stories of Vietnam vets
who can still feel the tingling of their amputated limbs.
She's wondering how many women are walking around this world
feeling the tingling of their amputated wings,
remembering what it was to fly, to sing.

Our insanity isn't that we see people who aren't there. It's that we ignore the ones who are.

,Do we really believe our need for Prozac
has nothing t do with Fallujah,
with Kabul, with the Mexican border,
with the thousands of U.S. school kids
bleeding budget cuts that will never heal
to fuel war tanks?
