Open Letter to Thomas Jefferson

You sir, destination unknown, I dare
To address. A son of worthy causes  
For land vast in majesty and vast as
Vast can be in matters of liberty;
With ideals so prim and suffused with 
Philosophical forethought derived from 
Your bumper harvest of...

And so they sat, this learned three
in full pursuit of liberty,
the turkey, eagle and the dove
looked down upon them from above.

The declaration almost writ
they rubbed their chins a little bit;
looked heavenward, and there espied 
their feathered friends, as one they cried: 

The perfect symbol he...

It interests me to peer past the drafting
and rewriting shoulder
of Thomas Jefferson,
unhappy slave-owner,
and John Adams,
with domestic slave-owner nuisance issues,
and other principle writing minds 
of original democratic declaration and constitution shaping times,
as they listened to their own ecopolitically experienced histories,
some with fear and anger-mongering slave-owners,
some as...

A couple of months ago a new friend came into my life.
He has brought a ton of pleasure to me and my darling wife!
He was named Jefferson by some humane society wag,
But we call him Jeff for short and that will remain his tag!

He's an...

Thought inventing was fun
But scared of the night
He bottled the light...

OH HONEY, LOOK AT THE PRETTY PINK HOUSE ON THE ****ING CORNER

Is it all about two promises and two hearts set upon the same goal,
or is it more about two beings sharing the same soul?
Is it more about the places they go and the people...

I’m sorry that I wasn’t a good decent   boyfriend
But I can’t change the past
I wish that I didn’t let you go
I deserved it
I deserved to be cheated on 
I wasn’t good enough for you
It was so hard for me to move on 
I...

Homeless that’s what they call us
They say we have no home
Because we live out on the streets
And choose to drift and roam

But, homeless is that what we truly are
Who knows maybe it is
But what about the heroes
The women and the kids

They say we chose this...

My tom cat Jeff was neutered and in that he had no choice

     Now he purrs and meows with a high-pitched falsetto voice!...

DEDICATED to Justice-Lover, Freedom-writer, THOMAS WELLS:

"OTHER man's ... chokehold" : American cop
Black folk and freedom heroes hit the street
Rage, rage against looting what The Slaves "bought"

Yet by choice, they rose above the slave's lot
But THEY who love cruel lies, love to repeat
"OTHER man's chokehold" :...

that  Jefferson and John Adams passed on within few hours
 on a very weighty date indeed , which was July the fourth,
a  day of celebration uniting  south and north,
and furthermore  a jubilee...

When everything was said and done,
Tom Willis kicked the crap out of George Jefferson.
George continuously called Tom's son a zebra and Tom was fed up with it.
George was rushed to the hospital after Tom Willis snapped and had a fit.
He kicked George's butt and made...

When we walk the campus
			to what used to be the center,
			we might miss the venerable place.
			Taller piles of brick and towers
			obscure the central space
			of Western Pennsylvania brownstone.
			Who hasn’t heard the poet moan:
			“Present concerns shroud the past;
			Granddad’s principles will not last.”

			But as we turn the corner...

Thomas Jefferson’s Reply

I had my passion, my delight and me
To blend the union: fast, unfading, yet
Of doubtful glory. Willing to stand up
To daggers in the savage king's eyes and	
Refuse submission to his sharp bare sword,
So well known to swathe the free natives red.
Let me sate...
