I give rock offerings to the gods
as I dance away from the Prehistoric Predators, happy that
these prison guards have no power over my scratchings on rocks.
No data, no goals, no mission and vision statement.
I bless the patrons with my smooth rocks and hope they will be my Pardoners.
And as I tiptoe through alleys and quiet streets, I drop offerings to show I do not hate.
People of my town, won't you please pardon me for being myself?

These are rocks that Heidi Otis and I decorated for Dachshund on Parade, June 18th in Ellensburg.
