I do a lot of running and hiking, and I also collect stamps - space stamps and Olympics stamps.

I used to take her out once a month for her food stamps.She didn't even appreciate what I did for her. Thanks to me she didn't lose the food stamps because I told the social worker. She really needed her food stamps live on. written 8/17/08 Posted 11/9/08

O What A Noise Of Word-Hooves!
Behind the backdropp of
frozen silence of faces-
O what a noise of
the stamps of word-hooves!
I and the I within me
sitting face to face
in undying uproars-
O what a noise of
the stamps of word-hooves!

Spam & Eggs?
Middle class are now social dregs
Using food stamps instead of cash
Give up steak for spam & eggs

“Lillie Gonzales does whatever it takes to provide for three ravenous sons who live under her roof. She grows her own vegetables at home on Kauai, runs her own small business and like a record 42 million other Americans, she relies on food stamps.
With more than 1 in 8 Americans now on food stamps, participation in the program has jumped about 70 percent from 26 million in May 2007, while the nation's unemployment rate rose from 4.3 percent to 9.2 percent through September of this year.
'We've seen a huge increase in participation due to the economic downturn, ' said Jean Daniel, a spokeswoman for the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service. 'That's the way this program was designed.'

To England
There are no postage stamps that send letters
back to England three centuries ago,
no postage stamps that make letters
travel back until the grave hasn't been dug yet,
and John Donne stands looking out the window,
it is just beginning to rain this April morning,
and the birds are falling into the trees
like chess pieces into an unplayed game,
and John Donne sees the postman coming up the street,
the postman walks very carefully because his cane
is made of glass.

I grew up on food stamps. I come from a very humble background. And I've had many friends that have been destitute - you know, running into trouble - and places like The Midnight Mission have given them hope and have fed them and gotten them back on the right path.

From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.

He is a prick
That pops your bubble
Honesty

That stamps on your rose tinted glasses
Well you better make them your friends then!

What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.

Tramped
we all hear the
sounds of the stamps
of your children
traveling on foot
from the wombs
of their mothers
they are all gone now.
we shall kiss the lips
of the flowers
of the umbilical cords
that set them free

Miscellaneous
he collected stamps
of various colors and kinds
those that he really liked
or loved
and keep them all
in one album
he is called
promiscuous
despite the fact
that he never
tore any stamp
or anybody
he need not worry
promiscuous is
just the synonym
for miscellaneous
