Poem: Innocent until proven guilty or vice-versa or whatever works best to their advantage

11/6/2015

Innocent until proven guilty or vice-versa or whatever works best to their advantage

By Joseph D. Reich

Today I was at The Dollar General
                                          with my client
& there were these leftover
                           chocolate crucifixes
from Easter & wondered
               what was the phenomenon
the point & purpose?

                         Some good down-to-earth daughter
(a slice of heaven) taking
                  itty-bitty bites or nibbles
while the raucous relatives
                        with chemical dependency
problems get stupid
               off booze & moonshine & wine coolers
as wasn’t Easter
                    supposed to be about
his second coming
           or return or resurrection
& wonder
       if he ever imagined himself
on a chocolate cross
          in the dollar general store
right next to where
      that house burnt down in the center
of town
           across from the water treatment plant
& slaughterhouse.
     Wonder if she had one of those
eating disorders
        or simply watching her figure
& left pieces
                 of it in the freezer
next to the TV dinners?

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.

Blog Automation Setup
