Happy Easter in Haiku
Seasonal Memories
This piece is in response to a Vocal Writing Prompts request for a story/poem involving a holiday. Since this long weekend is for Easter in the Christian calendar, following are my memories of family celebrations of the holiday
__
Chocolate bunnies
Sweet treats for sugar fixes
Eggs in a basket
*
Easter bunny came
Shiny toys for my brothers
Stuffed rabbit for me
*
New holiday clothes
Pink dress and Easter bonnet
Ribbons on my shoes
*
Green emerald grass
Flowers rising from the soil
Yellow daffodils
*
Shushed quiet in church
Faith in the impossible
Lilies on the altar
*
Family dinner
All gathered at Grandma’s house
Turkey and fixings
*
Play games with cousins
Early bed from exhaustion
Cuddle stuffed rabbit
*
A wonderful day
Of family, games, and fun
Happy Easter peeps

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
