From their rooms.
Dear You,
Are you in your room right now? I am in mine, and there are two pots boiling in the room to the right, and to the left, the porch lamp holds the House Finch nest and eggs again. This room, is nowhere near, and it is not now, but it is great, and it is your song(s) for the day. I love this series of performances called In my Room, brought to you by Rolling Stone. I hope it inspires you to play in your family band, because I am playing in mine.

Valuable Time
Dear Valuable Time,
Heaven knows you're miserable now. Enjoy your song for today, with all the double entendres, subtexts, and significance thrown in for free.

A rubber biscuit.
Dear Gumby,
I think I want to say something positive, and not because I don't want to say anything negative. I want to say something positive because I am actually thinking and feeling it: you are so flexible, my dear humanity! You are capable of such remarkable pliancy!
I applaud you and I wish you decisions that bring you joy. Here is a song for today.

A bonus feature from the same year: 1956.

A hurry.
Untitled (doll's shoe & drupe), 2019
Dear Little Ones,
I must break my pattern to send you this right away! You have probably noticed lo these many years, that I like to send you something every few days, maybe twice a week, with a kind of flexible reliability. I don't want to leave you so long that you get lonely, but I also don't want to crowd or overwhelm you.
I was sent this beautiful bit of writing from a valued & treasured pal, which is what makes up so much of my substance in this venue.
I know you will love it as I do!
