with beauty always
the test is pride then compassion
with the rejectabels it’s a given
time is but a window to the heart
what tocks out what ticks in
children free
to make pretend masks
have lesser need to grown them
growing old
oh jack and jill so quarrelsome
could i take you by your scruffs
shake you to your selves 20 years hence
where one by one is letting go
of beauty and opinions held as truths
then plop you facing each
down on your seats
the love you shared is still available
come humbly to the feast

they are privileged. Alberto Gonzales said,
“It will not be driven by politics or what looks good.
It will be driven by what is allowed under the Constitution.”
“Which sounds fine in theory, but
once the order is in effect,
how would anyone know
what was driving a particular decision?
He asks us to trust him
to be responsible, honest and impartial.

“As long as Gods are males
males will be Gods.”
