It’s time for some Alice in August:
summer’s end . . .
the staggered heights
of black umbrellas
late summer–
baring the tan line
on my wrist
late August –
pushing through cornstalks
midnight raccoons

George Wallace is always trying to make insurance law interesting over

Massachusetts Lawyers’ Weekly has a wrap-up of the new pay-raise law,
with quotes from many of the interested parties. See “Bar advocates return

Butler advises a “wait and see” approach to the new legislation.
