On the afternoon of Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019, my front door was open. Sunlight cast shadows against a wall, creating shadows of burning taper candles. I noticed the flickering of the reflections of the flames and took this photograph.

The blatant abuse of the English
language is, like, you know, a cause
of much irritation–anguish,
even. This is the truth because,
basically, I’d rather banish,
you know, disrespect for usage laws.

Please, do not misuse “impact,”
substituting it for other
verbs, such as “influence” and “affect.”
Nobody has impacted me, or
else I would have known the effect
of the collision. No crater
or wedging in someplace, “impact”
is not properly a good verb.

“I want to thank you,” the message
began. I guess something or
someone prevented such a sage
from actually thanking, or
else one poorly wrote that message.
