And I quote "You're so well spoken; I loved your story" end quote
I hear that once about every other week at the current rate
But what I really wanted to say in response was: oh, you mean for a black person?
Or do you imply that my particular vernacular, and painted linguistics shocked your ears
Because your prefrontal cortex judged my baggy clothes, durag, and tattoos would talk like every tv show that needs a black thug…I’m sorry I meant to say African American
It's 2024 and for some reason any person of color still needs permission to better themselves
Last time I checked wanting more was normal not privilege
But I guess your watch has arms that hang opinions not people so it's ok because it's not the same
So just because the shadow is smaller it isn't as dark
That was some of my flooding thoughts that was closed by the dam of a simple: thank you
But what I really wanted to say came in the form of a question
What did you like about what I said,
Awkward pauses rush in and flood silence because it never gets a chance to speak
Awkward pauses that communicate they really just wanted to pay their dues in the form of a backhanded small talk compliment
Awkward pauses I'm way to familiar with so I recline in the anxiety yelling in the microphone
They desperately reach for words running away
Trying to pick up their dignity with a well what I meant to say,
I reply with that's ok and walk into another Thursday
Life goes on and unforgiveness repeats so forgive me if I choose to look out for myself and simply skip the small talk
I have big dreams and I’m trying to be in the atmosphere of those matching that impossible energy
p.s. pay attention with your heart not your ears please…
The mailman is certainly sketchy
way to tall and sort of gangly,
his arms are long and his skin is pale.
He arrives at 10:04 without fail,
never sooner; never later,
and my old dog never barks
like he does at the park,
be it leaf or be it squirrel,
be it a little girl that twirls,
or be it nothing there at all!
The Earth is flat
and landing on the moon was fake,
I simply don’t believe in that,
but I think the mailman is an alien.
I’m convinced his vehicle is a UFO
that transforms and flies at night,
or did I see that on a TV show
long ago when I was eight?
The doctor says to take my meds,
the aliens are in my head!
Sure Doc, because bees don’t sting,
and a hollow moon doesn’t ring.*
*On November 20, 1969, NASA deliberately crashed the Apollo 12 lunar module into the Moon, causing it to vibrate or "ring like a bell" for nearly an hour. This phenomenon sparked theories that the Moon is hollow (like a bell).
I have moments I begin to think hatred and pain and suffering in this life are a given
Luckily in the next moment I’m reminded of what a wonderful world I live in.
Yesterday as sadness spread through the world like a virus how was I to know
joy would tap me on the shoulder in the form of:
an old book,
an old song
and a forgotten TV show…
A young couple came into the bookstore not on a specific expedition
but they found a book they both loved and had to have…it was a first edition.
They hugged then kissed as together they held onto that book
“Smile!” I said as with their phone their anniversary picture I took.
Next in the store came a mother…to her chest she was carrying her child
They stopped to say hello and when the baby looked at me…he smiled.
“His name is Malcolm.” his mother said and I could see innocence in his eyes.
He smiled at me every time they passed me and even as he waved goodbye.
For the last half hour we are open in the evening…I do this religiously
as a nice way to end the day…I play the same soft, smooth CD.
When it began to play this older couple came to me…
the wife’s eyes were filled with tears
“This is the song we danced to at our wedding!” She said ,
“and we’ve been married for 35 years!”
They lingered in the store a while, bought a book and were about to leave when…
I said, “Wait one minute. Happy Anniversary!”… and I played their song again.
A young couple a baby and an older couple reminded me of joy
and left me feeling high
as they all, on their way out of the store, smiled and waved goodbye….
In case you were wondering what book, what song, what TV show
here’s the answer to that riddle
It began with A Clockwork Orange
It ended with What a Wonderful World
And the smile that brought such joy…
that was Malcom in the middle.
On freezing days, I turn to fleece
To wear beneath my down;
And wool or corduroy might work
When traipsing through the town.
But there’s an oft-forgotten cloth
That also can perform
By keeping those who use it,
Day or nighttime, snug and warm.
Yes, flannel is of what I speak;
It’s great for shirts and sheets,
Yet no one touts its virtues –
Not in odes or texts or tweets.
So let me be the first to write
Of flannel’s cozy charms.
It’s comfortable enveloping
Or underneath my arms.
If winter were a TV show,
We’d likely change the channel;
But since we’re stuck with it for now,
To help us, we’ve got flannel!

American comedy T.V. Show “The Addams Family”
Morticia would speak French and Gomez couldn’t help but be turned on,
kissing her hand and arm. Some other crazy characters in the cast: A hand that lives in a box called “Thing” and “Lurch” the scary butler. He was famous for his deep voice “You Rang?” as he answered the door to visitors.
jolie femme — pretty wife
amour - lover
Inspired by the moving storyline from Episode 6 "Love conquers Al" of the interesting TV show, "Cold Case". This episode is based on the true story of the murder of 16-year-old Adrianne Jones on 04 December 1995, in Texas, USA. Rest in peace.
It's sad to think that she and I were both teenagers back then. It's sad when people don't get a chance to live their lives and become their best selves. Life is difficult, but you can only live it if you're alive.
"Please, don't...!"

"Please, don't...!"
Is the last thing she says to you
Before you shoot her dead
You and your girlfriend
Living out a crazy fantasy
Killing someone
Will never cleanse your relationship
Killing someone
Will only tarnish your soul
How could you do it?
How could you take her life?
Punish her for a choice you made?
Punish her with fear and death?
How do you live with yourself?
How do you feel justified?
She is gone forever
And you go on with your life
Going to prison as justice
Will never be enough
She never had a choice
She never stood a chance
Looking down from Heaven
I wonder how she feels?
Surrounded by the angels
Helping her try to deal
Dying young is a sadness
You never get to learn and grow
Experience your potential
Experience the world unknown
If you could do it all again
I wonder what you'd choose?
Would you stop the dominoes
Before you all land up losing?

I was recently introduced to an ancient prayer…from of all places a T.V. show!
It comes all the way from Hawaii…
It’s called Ho’oponopono. (Hoe-oh-po-no-po-no)
It’s a simple prayer…four lines repeated…
with a more complicated goal…
A way to cleanse the spirit and rejuvenate the soul.
The first time I heard it …was around a father who was about to die…
The family used this prayer as a way to say goodbye.
The last message they wanted him to hear…before his life was through
was…I love you…Thank you…Forgive me…and I forgive you too.
The word Ho’oponopono means to make right…or correct
I’ve heard a similar mantra
I’m sorry…Please forgive me…Thank you…and I love you…
has the same effect.
The Hawaiians showed their wisdom.
They knew these four lines should include…
love, the giving and receiving of forgiveness…and finally, gratitude.
Love and gratitude are easy to understand and forgiveness they define…
not as forgetting but as a way of releasing the anger and resentment
that destroys one's peace of mind.
And I thought how Ho’oponopono would be useful today
in a world where so much hatred and prejudice we are dispensing…
In a world where our conflicts need resolved and our spirits need a cleansing.
I think if anyone in conflict repeated the Ho’oponopono
our world would truly and finally be great…
because nowhere in this Hawaiian prayer does it mention the word hate.
I’m sorry…Please forgive me…Thank you…I love you…
I love you…Thank you…Forgive me…and I forgive you too.
In the Ho’oponopono I’ve gained a new perspective and appreciation…
because if you listen closely…hope is built right in to this prayer's pronunciation.
A man's birthday only comes around once a year.
You wanted revenge because I drank your last beer.
You decided to get even by ruining my birthday.
You got even by giving me the new Doctor Who on Blu-ray.
You know that I hate the new Doctor Who, I think it's a piece of crap.
Now you've started crying like a two year old because I gave you a slap.
I loathe the new Doctor Who TV Show and I let everybody know about it.
You bought me a piece of crap for my birthday and it's making me throw a fit.
Even though I apologized for drinking your last beer, you decided to make me pay.
You had an evil grin on your face as you handed me the new Doctor Who on Blu-ray.
Everybody had to cover their ears because I said a lot of cuss words.
I burned your present because I would've rather been given a turd.
(The only true thing about this poem is the fact that I hate the new Doctor Who TV Show.)
In a world of make believe
Inside my T.V. screen
I was mesmerized by a show,
The likes I'd never seen.
Barnabas, Quentin and Angelique;
Inhabitants of Collinsport, Maine
Lived a life like no others.
To miss it caused me pain.
This tale of a heartbroken vampire
And the witch obssessed with he
Held me enthralled for years,
Their lives unfolding in my T.V.
Long before "Vampire Diaries",
Long before the movie "Twilight",
Barnabas Collins was the man
Who walked as a vampire by night.
It's been over forty years since
The Collins family came daily to call.
Of all the shows I saw in my youth
Dark Shadows was the best of them all.

"Dark Shadows"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dark Shadows" ran from June 27, 1966 to April 2, 1971.
It aired Monday through Friday. A supernatural soap opera with a
vampire, a witch, a werewolf and so much more.
Johnny Depp is reprising the role of Barnabas Collins in a
movie version of "Dark Shadows" based on the series.
It is set to be released this spring. I will be in the audience
the first night.
