The Day Big Bird Was Insulted
by Meg Pokrass
1. I was remembering Jim Henson.
2. I was brushing the dog.
3. I was wrestling with the insurance company over payment for a routine mammogram.
4. I was looking through my drawers for an unstained t-shirt.
5. I was remembering my unplanned pregnancy many years ago.... how that scary but early D & C saved a couple of lives.
6. I was thinking about my older sisters, both with rheumatoid arthritis, no health insurance, who liked Sesame Street.
7. I was wondering why people hate us... the small.

I echo, Michael Parker.
