as WinLose evolutionary models
give way to WinWin sacred Energy

through enlightenment phases
through empowerment dysphasia

parents and grandparents,

My carefully curated victim complex was shattered...

I’m of Slovakian descent,
I can barely afford my rent,
Now I’ve run out of time,
And my very last dime,

My time to teach,
To mold the minds and sculpt the dreams,
To reserve the tears and...

Very busy and on the go 
A date with a drink

flashing her exuberance
through contagious smiles and sculpted features
painted images flickered through my memory
as seasons remembered
the autumn colors that bordered concrete
structures paying homage
to this choice of knowledge

But you talk behind my back

a ruffian. 


the breasts 
of equality
the jaw of
rebellion.
the revolutionary
spark plug.


the YES MAN!
