Alert global tempratures are up by 1 deg c.!
Holland must be by now letting in the sea.'
The cause is fossil fuel burning.' Some experts will agree, i observe the big wind
Tubines in use..And solar glare from those
Panels stretching well quite a stretch as it
Be.' I notice the bees are fewer now i wonder how it got like this with all the green new deals.? Now just you
tell me' i
Cannot get a hold of iodine at most pharmacys, its cause its being sprayed in
The sky by some ( experts if you ask me?)
The only thing thats dimmer, than a Chinese vegetable sum, is a group of these so called experts.?
Working for n g o's thats how good
as its got, we aint all dumb.' Ya know.)
I fear death not for its permanence,
nor the inability to evade it,
but because I crave the word dancing on my tongue...
a mercury drop that splits and reunites,
drips from my lips like viscous iodine, ground glass,
and thick, cold nectar I'd never yearn to savor.
It is fast, a mechanical, shrieking bird
snatching the meaning from every word I've ever spoken.
It is a first love,
a phantom seen in my childhood nightmares,
a familiar bone in my being,
and I've never ceased loving its velvet rot.
What I yearn for I must fear:
When I acquire it,
my mouth will fill with ashes
and there is nothing else I can have or want,
and I will spend eternity cleaning my teeth with my rib.
Have you tried to buy iodine.? In your local
Chemist or drugstore at some contemorary
Time.? Its today not so obtainable as it was in my youth, when it was most plentifull, thats my clear memory in truth.'
Is it because its being poured up in the skies? To cause extreme weather.? For
that would explain much to my mind if
Industrial quantitys are being so used.? It
Would explain much..That is falling that
Is giving many the blues.?
pre-surgery
I have growth on my lower leg
which I bravely ignored till my wife
said I was smelling
It offended me, who showers every morning
I went to see my doctor, a woman in her
the sixties, she insisted on kissing me when I visit
as a result, I love her
Yes, it was a tumor surgery, the ninth of
Dismember
My doctor's name is Teresa, I knew a woman
in Curacao, she was lovely too, named Teresa
When I left her office, I noticed she
didn't kiss me, but said something about
iodine, changing the wound, putting on
a new clean bandage
Little of no Vitamin C
And Scurvy is what you shall see;
The iodine-poor diet: Goiter
And it’d continue to loiter:
A lot of pulsing and bouncing
Like a ball for a team’s trouncing;
On one’s sad neck hanging around,
Auto-immune disorders hound!
Then, somehow, can one it avoid
And have not The Bogus Thyroid:
Lots of what richly give Iodine
Safe diet, no Cimetidine...
Goiter not good for camera,
Snapshots skipping it chimera.
Going backward on my bicycle
I leaned into the wind
and fell forward right on my noggin’
Getting up and brushing myself off
I then attempted to walk on my elbows
Good thing I wear elbow pads, is all I can say
Putting iodine on my cuts and gritting my teeth
I decided to try walking on nails barefoot
Lucky for me, I got the ‘barefoot thing’ wrong
Deciding that perhaps it wasn’t my day
I walked out onto the freeway to play in traffic
Seems that you need to slow down to maintain a sense of humor…
After twilight around that corner
City Lights show an alternative way
Sipping sour whiskey from chipped cups
In low sweaty cellars where frothy cats play
Shades under tilted black beat berry hats
And Charlie's beat sounds out over his steady rap
Snyder slumps iodine in the doorway queue
Waiting for a tired Bird's wings to flap
Onstage another rhythmic rant from Jack
Sets shapely dark stockinged table legs to tap
Smoke haze from unfiltered thin street rolls
As cool closed eyes dig that lonely wail horn blow
All youth Zen style sharing jazz and blues
And I'm thinking
We gotta go and make our own poems Babe
Cause I always want to- anywhere with you
Everyone desires to enjoy food,
but we don't like food void of salt.
Salt is not only good for taste;
It is a nutrient required for life.
However, beware that salt can kill.
The oceans are filled with salt in the water
that would have to be treated for drinking.
Salt contains iodine, a nutrient we require.

Almighty Eternal God
I had a lump on my neck for a couple of years
Seen a doctor and told me it can be a cancer if I don’t remove it
I’m pregnant and the problem is I cannot have surgery while pregnant
The father of my baby left me because of my decision to have an abortion
The neck surgery was immediately scheduled
I was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer
that had already spread to surrounding lymph nodes
I had more surgery and radioactive iodine treatments that year
Until there was finally no trace of the disease
Without the choice to have an abortion
I may not have survived
You told the curly Blonde baby angel
“Tell the priest that the babies are safe in Heaven
You want to give us women chance ]on the left ear] choice [on the right ear] to save ourselves
Abortion is incredibly a hard decision
The decision I have not regretted a day in my life
I greatly thank You for Your forgiveness
For having wide wisdom in my state of life
Please continue giving me a strongest faith
Fortitude to have strength and be courageous
Perseverance in taking care the rest of my life in Fr. Christ name. Amen.

Iodine or Wine
limited choices, indeed
~ No PCP weed?
You are my Valentine
You look like Frankenstein
You smell like turpentine
Your lips like iodine
You wear size twenty-nine
You mope around and whine
But I like you mighty fine
You're all I've got ~ You're mine!
The jagged edges
of her brokenness
fit the zig-zagged
lines of all the times
I fell and was
made whole again
My puzzle's
missing piece
Picture perfect
iodine on a scraped
knee, a sensation
captured by a gentle
breeze, sometimes
love is nothing
more than pain
being replaced
by a beautiful scar;
if you trace the
lines across
porcelain faces
do the cracks
in the facade
feel fantastical
or real?
Hard to believe
her jagged edges
and my zig-zagged
lines could from
such a beautiful
rendition of all the things
I was missing
School Day Memories
My childhood relived
In memory's inner senses
Touch, nose, ears and eyes
Pain as I slip on waxed floor
Tears at the sight of my blood
The smell of iodine ointment
Hearing the school bell
Seeing my mother waiting
Yesterday's childhood revisited
Memory has no tomorrow
There are seedlings grown well somewhere
behind the walls in natural fertile soils
they are monocotyledonous fresh seedings
the radicles wake up first before plumule
to gain firm ground for branches, leaves
but some farmers do it with wit in style
watering roots with alcohol and iodine
pouring steaming water to remove pests
some do remove soil from the roots
allegedly to provide freedom and aeration
fertilizers, humus that are indispensable
are starved off the hungry, sick seedlings
small pebbles are spread in and around
to register beauty, seriousness and duty
and the seedlings grown behind walls
dry up with survivors yielding very little
but the farmer is proud, loud, and happy
to bolster pride the farmer packs leaves,
poor seeds, stems and export to markets
But then the farmer puzzles me;
Why claim farmer-ship but of scandals?
every activity of raising even bedbugs,
culturing snakes and parasites is divine
to best of sincere ability one must work
and it’s more demanding if it is humanity
at the center of functions and goals
