Hawaiian Tropic of Cancer

With visual field microscopic
Some utterly blind and myopic
Consume to the max
As a luxury tax 
On those needing help philanthropic

Unfortunately, my job is consuming my creative energy. Otherwise, I would write more. It's more enjoyable to be here and put together something, but I still need the paycheck.

If the world was crazy in 2013, then I wonder what it is now? We have a Nordstrom near us. I was dragged there yesterday because someone gave my wife a $25 gift certificate. I looked for Ivanka dresses, but I couldn't find any. I feel terrible for the immigrants whose families are being and about to be shattered. This is the inequality in the country starting to play out. Rather than fix the problem, we are going to pick on certain groups. Anyway, I rant. But I wish you success in 2017 and beyond.

You must have traveled somewhere just a little south of where you are. Mexico perhaps? If you ever travel to NY, let us know. We would like to meet you for lunch or give you a ride from the airport. You have one of the finest poetic minds in the universe. You make such interesting connections. I hope you are well. I am sending out good vibrations to you.
