Water . . .

(https://www.nrdc.org/onearth/water-human-right)

". . . The United States and 40 other countries abstained from the U.N. vote to recognize access to water as a human right (in 2016). . . Human rights come in many forms; they aren’t all prohibitions hammered into the stone tablet of the Bill of Rights. Americans tend to talk about only this kind of right, though. For this, I blame Thomas Jefferson. . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. . . Jefferson’s passage is so beautifully clear that it has come to define the word right in the American mind. But he is describing just one kind of right: the preexisting negative right. Preexisting because it doesn’t need a government to create it, and negative because it describes something the government cannot do: It cannot take the right away. Leave us alone to pursue happiness, Jefferson says, and we’ll be fine. Most of the rights in the Bill of Rights are corollaries to Jefferson’s description, but the Bill doesn’t ever claim to be a complete and exclusive list of human rights. . ."

Stuff . . .

(from https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/hoarding-disorder/what-is-hoarding-disorder)
". . . Do you have trouble discarding (or recycling, selling or giving away) things that most other people would get rid of?

Because of the clutter or number of possessions, how difficult is it to use the rooms and surfaces in your home?

To what extent do you buy items or acquire free things that you do not need or have enough space for?

To what extent do your hoarding, saving, acquisition and clutter affect your daily functioning?

How much do these symptoms interfere with school, work or your social or family life?

How much distress do these symptoms cause you? . . "

Arrival . . .

. . . live from the beach . . .

The baby's arrived
With much care
And much patience
She's happily adjusting
To her home far away

After many a day
Without any practice
Or workout
I attempted a foray
On this gem anyway

Cover . . .

. . . up

(from http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/paul-ryan-warns-if-dems-win-theyll-hold-trump-accountable)
". . . But it’s use of the word “subpoenas” that jumped out at me. . . What the retiring House Speaker seemed to suggest was that Democrats, if given any meaningful authority in Congress, would take steps to hold the president accountable for his actions. . . Or put another way, Ryan wants voters to back Republican candidates in order to ensure that the pro-Trump cover-up can continue on Capitol Hill. “Vote GOP in 2018,” the slogan effectively goes, “We’re against oversight and accountability for Republican presidents.”. . .

Beach . . .

Rhythmic waves in endless blue folds
Gently tumble consistently
And coat the creamy sand
Where both meet

Calmly, serenely,
The symphony plays
Irrespective of the day or night
And soothes all beings

Needs . . .

It's sweltering
As some may say
The heat
With the humidity
Leaves beads of liquid
On my skin
When barely
Making an effort

I'm not complaining
Rest assured
I find little fault
with oppressive conditions
Particularly when
Compared with other seasons
That require stratum
Of clothing for warmth

But during these Dog Days
While running amock
In my newfound freedom
I do, in my
Indeterminate wisdom
Discern the need
To keep the body
In hydration

As a result
I eat and I drink
In amounts
More than needed to suffice
My attempts to be comfortable,
Healthy, the like
Would be better assisted
If I could only get ice
