We could come to your place. Bring you lunch. Make a day of it.
That is what I am afraid of.
When people come for a day, they stay three.
My place is a haven for people who want to talk at me
while I want silence so I can write or paint.
I am horrified, I truly do not want this in any way, shape or form.
She is not even on my short list of besties,
she is on my longest list of combatants.
Unfortunately, I have been trained to pretend I like everybody,
no matter what or how pushy or prissy they are.
This serves me well at school, where I have to pretend
to like the students, and my co-workers.
But this is summer. I do not have to be nice in the summer.
I can be myself. I can be silent. I can enjoy my solitude.
I will let you know when I am feeling better, I tell her.
You will feel better if we plan something, she tells me.
“What about Tuesday?”
We somehow lose phone connection.
She texts me. “See you noon Tuesday.”
Civilian casualty
All wars are bad, but wars can be stopped
if there is will seek peace, which there is not
the civilians in Ukraine must suffer more.
How many non-combatants are killed in this
Russian versus NATO and the USA we don’t know
but the number of dead seems relatively small
when so much has been bombed to destruction.
It appears to me that weekly, more
Palestinians are killed by the so-called IDF than
Ukrainian civilians.
But this toll is met with silence since Israel has
been sanctified by Brussels by no other than
Ursula von der Leyen in her horrible speech
absolving Israel of any guilt.
But what else are they expect from this corporate
Fascism the EU has become.
Duellem (The Duel)
by Charles Baudelaire
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
Two combatants charged! Their fearsome swords
brightened the air with fiery sparks and blood.
Their clashing blades clinked odd serenades,
reminding us: youth's inspired by overloud love.
But now their blades lie broken, like our hearts!
Still, our savage teeth and talon-like fingernails
can do more damage than the deadliest sword
when lovers lash about with such natural flails.
In a deep ravine haunted by lynxes and panthers,
our heroes roll around in a cozy embrace,
leaving their blood to redden the colorless branches.
This abyss is pure hell; our friends occupy the place.
Come, let us roll likewise here, cruel Amazon,
let our hatred’s ardor NEVER be over and done!
Invitation to the Voyage
by Charles Baudelaire
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
My child, my sister,
Consider the rapture
Of living together!
To love at our leisure
Till the end of all pleasure,
Then in climes so alike you, to die!
The misty sunlight
Of these hazy skies
Charms my spirit:
So mysterious
Your treacherous eyes,
Shining through tears.
There, order and restraint redress
Opulence, voluptuousness.
Gleaming furniture
Burnished by the years
Would decorate our bedroom
Where the rarest flowers
Mingle their fragrances
With vague scents of amber.
The sumptuous ceilings,
The limpid mirrors,
The Oriental ornaments …
Everything would speak
To our secretive souls
In their own indigenous language.
There, order and restraint redress
Opulence, voluptuousness.
See, rocking on these channels:
The sleepy vessels
Whose vagabond dream
Is to satisfy
Your merest desire.
They come from the ends of the world:
These radiant suns
Illuminating fields,
Canals, the entire city,
In hyacinth and gold.
The world falls asleep
In their warming light.
There, order and restraint redress
Opulence, voluptuousness.
Stairrafer)................ beyond the rules and regulations and restrictions, we have to recognize the mean spirited ways of men, those who wish to involve themselves in every aspect of human existence.
Deffrion).....turn your face to me when you speak, people often think this is an act of a fool, or of a coward, talk to me face to face.
Stairrafer)..... You wish me to curse you but I won't engage in verbal combatants: (pausing) follow my orders and everything will be alright.
Interrupting.......Sorburg).......Both of you are equally foolish! The Belgium Ship Pragnus has violated the realm of space by mining on the asteroid Magmus Seiver, here's the official statement, Resource appropriation, of wrongful Space activities The exploitation of natural resources, This goes beyond the realms of space, these are moral dilemmas!
Unbelievable: since last we meet, something spectacular has transpired.
Ladies and gentlemen we have a new Worlds Heavyweight Champion!
In unbelievable fashion: with no vendettas, just pure Sports Wrestling.
But the outcome will have even the the most purest wrestling pundits thinking it's an angle.
Due to prior interference by Manager "Bruiser Anais Soleil, on behalf of " Preimer"Primous Parsell ( then Worlds Champion). In a proletary bout with Salvio Saga, the manager blatantly grabbed Savio's leg to trip him. The Champion was disqualified and out came the officials from the back. With no General manager there of the Promoters and Head Referee's ran the show with full authority to make matches.Gilbert Friess (head Referee) order the Worlds Champion to defend against his Stable Mate in a 45 minute bout. If the match
was contested due to any interference the title would change hands and a new bout with a ten minute time limit and no DQ would start instantly against an un-named opponent.
To ensure fairness the name of the opponent would be written on a sheet of paper and placed in a briefcase at ringside.During the commercial break five names had been entered. They only mentioned that the Worlds tag team Champions ( other Stablemates) were two of the five names in the hat. They drew the name with only the Head Refferree knowing what went in the pot.
The match went on with a Competitive Clause issued were the combatants were ordered to compete at a competitive level or would face suspension and fines. A classic match happened, ( worthy of match of the year)! At 35:00 with referees back turned a fellow crawled from under the ring and when the champ was thrown into the ropes he tripped him and pulled him out of the ring and crawled back under the ring! When the outside combatant came back in the ring he was meet by a kneelift. On the canvas he layed and when the champion approached he reached up and caught the champion a victory roll to become champion.
Well when they found out who was under the ring: the match pending was ordered to happen. The Stablemate of both men and the pending contenders the Tag Team Champions had interfered against the wished of his current manager, forcing a No DQ 10 Minute bout against an unknown competitor!
Ukraine has got chemical weapons, the Russians claim
That are being used against their soldiers to kill and maim
And those apartments you see blown to smithereens
Are only illusions that we see, on our TV screens.
Russia claims actors are used and are pretending to be dead
Evil Putin is using propaganda to get inside your head
Russia called a ceasefire so that non combatants could flee
Then his army opened fire on them, how ruthless can they be
Those images you see of the old and infirm, trying to get away
Are just old folks enjoying the sunshine out for the day
With their worldy possessions in a supermarket bag
Doesn't make any difference that they're waving a white flag.
And those generous Russian soldiers handing out food
Is just lies and propaganda they're trying to delude
A false flag is another ploy that the Russians use
To distort and hide the truth then carry out abuse.
A Russian jet has now carried out a devious strategy
Firing at a small town in Belarus called Kopani
This is the perfect excuse, that Belarus has been looking for
They'll blame the Ukrainian airforce and enter the war.
The besieged Ukrainian cities, need food and medical aid
But supplies are stuck in Poland, is the west really afraid?
Nobody likes violent war but sometimes it's the only way
And those carrying out atrocities. must be made to pay.

To firefighters charging toward danger
As people run the opposite direction
To safety; literally walking through
Raging fire and smoke to rescue
Those trapped inside their burning homes
Thank you
To social workers, youth mentors
Doing their best to assist people in need
Cope with problems they’re facing
To improve their lives
Thank you
To doctors and nurses healing the sick
And saving lives every single day
Notwithstanding the stress of their jobs
Thank you
To the cops serving and protecting
Our communities; doing their jobs without
Ever using excessive or deadly force
Thank you
To those volunteering at food pantries
Providing goods for low-income families
Or even poorer people; unlikely to be
Thanked by Academy Award winners
Thank you
To those intrepid American soldiers still
Engaging enemy combatants in the battlefield
For the love and service of their country
Leaving none of their fallen infantrymen
Behind in trenches
Thank you

the supported the new divsion
but pushed to allow
a clause
due to the fact that open weight had no weight restrictions
it seemed unprofessional to have an open curtain were the show was
opened to everyone.
a certain criteria should allow a more suited decorium for those involved. the new standard would allow the term openweight to include combatants
up to 200 pounds to weight up before competition
as a way to show the differences and exploit the specticle. But it would also allow
openweight challenges that are restricted to heavyweight contenders. this allows heavyweights to be recognized as such using the open weight win?loss to tally-up
or sum up chances to receive World Championship oppurtunities.
Meaning open weightt title bout are only conteetion points for heavyweiughts. In order for a lesser weight challenge to be summed up, it has to be contested. Grappia-Dough ask's if it's fair.
the flute is as important as the tuba, might the bassoon be more prestege.
They requested a pork affal. they used cheap meat's and beef tallow skewered them with yellow squash and red bell peppers and garlic and onions they wrapped in pork skin and roasted them. three hours they roasted. based with a teriki sauce. Served up with roasted potaoes.
DELGRINS CLAW
WAS SEEN
THRU-OUT
THE YEARS BETWEEN
2200 AND 2243
THEY USED THE MANEUVER
TO SUBDUE AND CAUSE SUBMISSION
BETWEEN CONTRACTORAL COMBATANTS.
'FELLOW ONE" A CHAMPION
AMONG THESE MEN, RALLIED AS CHAMPION
TO KEEP THE DIGNITY OF MAN
FROM BEING EXPLORED INTO PARTS UNKNOWN.
HE'D USE THE "DELGRINS CLAW"
TO STOP THOSE WHO WISHED
THE FUTURE OF " CERTAIN" TO
TRAVEL TO PARTS UNKNOWN.
THAN WITH AN OBJECTIVE
HE RALLIED IN CONTEST TO
BE GREATEST, AND RIGHT
AND HAVING US TO NEVER
EXPLORE THE TERRITORIES OF
"PARTS UNKNOWN!"

We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
Prepare to challenge every belief you've ever held
Just don't be surprised by how quickly they're felled
Everything you thought you knew was a ruse
To amuse those who would ignite the fuse
The skylines are ablaze with the flames of change
Yet beneath the turmoil is a tranquility so strange
Neighbors become brutal enemies bloodied by combat
As the arteries of the city falter combatants go splat
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
All of this bloodshed to weed out what is different
Another lost life becomes another soul spent
Ignorance gave way to gibberish and then blistering bickering
And while politicians are shivering society is withering
This is what happens when the few push the many
Because a single life is worth more than a penny
And that penny is what we set on the table
As if it will support our lives, it's such a fable
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
This is what happens when the few push the many
Because a single life is worth more than a penny
And that penny is what we set on the table
As if it will support our lives, it's such a fable
Prepare to challenge every belief you've ever held
Just don't be surprised by how quickly they're felled
Everything you thought you knew was a ruse
To amuse those who would ignite the fuse
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
