Poem for Tuesday and Kelsey Creek Animals

The Map 
By Marie Howe 

The failure of love might account for most of the suffering in the world.
The girl was going over her global studies homework   
in the air where she drew the map with her finger 

touching the Gobi desert,
the Plateau of Tiber in front of her,

and looking through her transparent map backwards
I did suddenly see,
how her left is my right, and for a moment I understood.

I had a bunch of chores to do on Tuesday morning, then a nice afternoon enjoying beautiful weather at the park before watching Voyager's should-have-been-so-much-better-than-it-was Q2, the episode in which we're supposed to find it funny when a teenage boy makes Seven's clothes disappear and turns engineering under Torres into Hooters while Old Auntie Janeway is called in to mother him because that's a woman's other purpose. 

We had excellent leftover pho for dinner, then watched two episodes of The Agency, which so far is excellent (no idea yet how various things tie together but it's definitely not boring). Now we're watching The Sticky, which my Canadian friends told me about, and it is both clever and hilarious. Here are the sheep at Kelsey Creek Farm before they got dressed up as reindeer, as well as various other animals there enjoying the autumn weather:
