I Think We Like Theodore Roosevelt's Spirit In Some Way

Standing tough, no matter the outcome. Sister Jean's 98, good to be backed and a school like Loyola Chicago, well they got some talented players, and now they are going into the final four.

Fight the good fight, stand up for the little guy, all this and more.

This kind of salutary, we come we go, they came they've gone; like an awakening in sleepy town, like a moonshot, we made it to the moon, someone took a picture of Earth, just what it 

looks like from space. 

I rubbed up against the butt of dog high upon the heavens and flipped the Earth's polarity 

so there was this rise and shine with nothing else to say, it's always the same, it's all gone mad

until you believe, what is it you believe

Thermodynamics: I wear this tight fitting spandex under my clothes, to help me run, like thermal underwear I would wear as a kid on the coldest of days.

Did you ever notice that when you wear thermal underwear underneath, that if you stand near anything, it reflects your own bodies warmth.

 

Peace!

LA GITANA

The Gypsy
Hush! -
That quiet    sultry    dark    forbidding gaze
What black    rich    blood runs her veins?
She of the woods
Of the caravan
Of the moonlit     midnight campfires
But hear!
Distantly
A minor sound
Bitter sweet
Eternally sad
Some scarred    battered    old violin sings
Intoning invitation
The man – 
Short    but Swarthy
His eyes young    but oh so ancient
A polka dot bandana
Hiding coal black hair
Rises
Motions the woman
Then begins the dance
Slowly
Slowly gaining speed
Gaining madness1
Accelerating!
Until 
The very forest animals are charged 
Watching
Mesmerized 
The ghosts of many campfires
Hundreds
Hover round
Just their white   white moonshot eyes distinct 
The fiddle howls
A demon on the run!
It is one    charmed    erotic    whirling circle
Tempting the angels looking down
