Grief is a feeling
best felt right away,
so it can dissipate
with the light of each day.
But sometimes, maybe grief,
has a gift by delay.
A suspension of heartache
and sad words to say.
There is bliss in the heart
that beats without knowing
the grief that is coming,
and the debt it will pay.
The debt of the heart
will be paid in the end,
and the weight of the grief
is the same for a friend.
I’m getting a new computer tomorrow
I love my tech about as much as I love my boyfriend
It’s M5 chip, 10 CPUs, neural processors and GPUs
will mostly idle away as I grope for the right words
but they won’t show their impatience - no -
they won’t sigh and tap their shoes like a boyfriend.
I’m getting a new computer tomorrow
I’ll love it’s bright, starlight, smooth and flawless skin
maybe not quite as much as I do when I’m groping him
but I’ll sigh with delight as I run my fingers over its form
few things in life completely delight and please me
I know one or two - and one of them will be brand new.

*every year I trade in my Macbook Air for a new one, it only costs ~$250 so why not? That way I have the latest, greatest tech.
The white of snow shows up again,
Crystal clear yet very opaque;
It settles softly on my pain
The white of snow shows up again.
A quiet hope begins to strain,
As winter stirs my thoughts awake;
The white of snow shows up again,
Crystal clear yet very opaque.
I looked out and saw rainy weather.
Why not watch boys kick pigskin leather?
What if rain was barley juice, not water -
to the magnavox and my alma mater.
A strange woman says "fix the door".
Where have I heard that voice before?
A green field where blue and gold bodies lay,
the uniforms of UCLA,
like a photo by Mathew Brady -
Do I know that voice? Who is this lady?
And who is responsible for this ruin?
He goes by the name of Joe Bruin.

Old Joe Biden faced a protest
E-I-E-I-O
And at that protest, he heard some chants
E-I-E-I-O
With an ‘Genocide’ here
and a ‘Ceasefire’ there
Here a ‘Genocide,’ there a ‘Genocide’
Everywhere a ‘Genocide’

when we took a tour
each one there was a juror

according to latest tweet
they will have cold feet
what you always knew
targets were of high value
destroy must do
even when afraid
budget was prepared and made
we will need their aid

Stains on my shirt
holes in my pants
My wardrobe’s Salvation Army
not quite Paris, France
I cry all night
grief fills my lips
While the other kids
wear the latest ripped
Jeans, for which they paid
a fortune each, though poorly made
My threads cost nothing, my life’s a sham
better to be naked than what I am …
O, Lord, let this poor soul know
that life is long, there’s a ways to go
When he’s ninety-seven, no one will care
if the jeans on his knees were not threadbare
Everything's a 'crisis' nowadays
'cept 'Paying Attention's' on holiday
The Latest Gripe
Miracle Man
1/2024
Seems anything decent someone finds fault,
too many things are now said to be divisive.
A lawsuit comes next, then it comes to a halt,
the supreme court has the vote that’s decisive.
Today, The Nativity Scene is the gripe receiver,
it only took one claiming a violated right.
Complaint brought to light by a non believer,
now this person’s lawyered up, ready to fight.
To avoid a lawsuit,
town Nativity scene in play,
Is now the three wise men
plus Santa and sleigh.
have heard latest scoop
our cat in her box would poop
when we caught the croup
