In Paris, society people unironically dress for dinner, go to cocktail parties (where the hostess has an obvious drinking problem), dine with Catholic Bishops, industrialists, politicians and occasional celebrities (usually for charity) in places dripping with atmosphere.
I met this famous actor once (July 2019, pre-covid, I was 15), at one of these summer parties in

Political Parties
(as I see it)
Written: by Miracle Man
6/8/2024
Political entities take actions,
without thinking twice.
Those actions once taken,
come saddled with a price.
Sometimes the consequences,
of said actions are votes.
They devour each other,
like a bunch of cutthroats.
Many actions they take,
benefit lobbyist or their person.
While they blame each other,
all things seem to worsen.
The people vote for change,
but it

This was last Saturday night. We were at a rooftop party in downtown New Haven thrown by ‘DocHouse.’ Doc-House is kind of a frat-house, owned by Dr. Melon, where he and seven doctoral students live. My BF Peter lived there once - before he graduated and took a job in Geneva - that’s how I

Miracle Man Thoughts
January 5, 2024
Just as certain as early spring clouds drift,
with each sunrise comes some political rift.
Mistakes come natural to most each day,
they don’t forgive, just make others pay.
They harbor resentment and feed an untruth,
and vote technology that corrupts our youth.
They’ve turned part time jobs into lifelong careers,
creating mountains of compost without

Happy New Year!
2024 is coming,
that futurity is guaranteed.
Can you feel it coming?
There’s magic in the air.
I’m excited, as if someone put euphorics in my breakfast cereal.
“Tonight,” Lisa said, twirling before her oblong moon mirror, “we’re going to show them we can dance!” “We are,” I agreed.
“I wish I were going,” 14-year-old Leeza sighed.
“2028,” Lisa promised, now modeling

Christmas Family Dinner Party Poem
"Is there anyone for stuffing?
Well done George, send us down your plate,
Auntie, if you've finished with the cranberry sauce
Could you please pass it across to Kate?"
"Brian can I interest you in my brussels?
There's nothing quite like a good sprout,
If anyone wants anything passed,
Don’t wait to be asked, just shout."
"Richard, will you please sit and eat,
And

It’s Harvard VS Yale this weekend, the vibes are just starting now. Everyone - and I mean everyone - has been asking about my game tickets, because guest tickets are $25 a pop. I’m more interested in the parties than the game, so I donated mine (Students get 1 free ticket and they can buy

It’s Monday afternoon, the first day after Fall Break. Several of my suitemates are here, relaxing a bit before we hit the dining hall and then scatter, like debris from a bomb. There are a zillion things to do on campus, on any given night. Lisa and I are going to a seminar, Anna and

The parties are crazy as bats.
They speak and each bat gets the shats.
Unlucky for us
they'll merge and be thus:
Republ-dem-ican-ocrats!

The World Wants An Honest Concession
Move on, my friend
Raise your right hand
To move on, to concede
Wasting your time will lead
To nothing, nichts, niente, nada
Do it for the soul of America.
Stop wasting your energy
Stop the lies and the anomaly
A real man accepts defeat
Hey dude, you got beat
You lost, you’re defeated
Stop being too conceited.
Hit the road Jack. Move on
The world wants a

The other day Anna created a Pinterest board of wedding ideas (Cheesy, she knows). “It’s time to hop on the bandwagon,” she said. She insists every other girl she’s aware of - except her weird Yale roommates - has one.
We think her girls back home (in Oregon) - who didn’t go to college, are

Free Food and Tough Parties
A dark boy ten times hungry stood
Waiting for a pre-paid free food
But was made subject of sport;
In his disbelief could not snort…
He would keep standing there like wood
To both tough parties hurt real good:
Not what one for it goes to court
Nor dares self to drown in a port…
When food server sits by snugly
You just
