shivering and shaking
he only wants home

all these many years
ago the leaving
his only choice..
this/that or war

he was
a fool hearted lover
danced with the dancing queens

did he play the lover’s game
as it was played on him?
no se

i only know

we choose
our lessons by our path

it is as our muse says
of snaggles,
“Love embraces,
then moves on.”
welcome to September

nothing needs too make sense anymore
hear them laughing in their ass as they
shell out cash of buying an election
seeing it matters not
to their followers when they spew
lie after lie after lie

i’ve already cried if they win
today’s facebook pinhead
deleted my responses to his post
when he didn’t want any more truth
but he read the words and they
are in my head as they are his
“I’d rather stand in line at a soup kitchen
than have a president who would lie us into war.”
it was when repeated my anti-war
i was defriended

futurerama gave me back
beloved Ali McBeal
and the remembering

we were so much dumber then
we’re smarter than that now

thanks and praises
creators of our information global highway
come on down
when you want to go fishing
or bird watching or feeding birds
of many color and song
or visit Jasmine Light
not to worry
she’s potted and moved
up west

as long as no one’s 100% robot
no one has 100% control of body language
(but training gets it pretty high –
ask the actor on a stage)
yes, first, i listened enough
to hear some emphasis on wrong words
and yes
the tell tell of Romney’s body language
was quite subtle, easy to miss
in orating a script
here it is spelled out

the right upper corner of his top lip
ever so slightly curls up
at the end of a thought

check it out for yourself
as we can expect endless
repetition

what does a one sided curled up lip suggest?
ask lobo

There would be NO Obama care if House Republicans hadn’t voted for it
(that was a note to his detractors)

(this is a note to his supporters)
he made all those promises
too many of us thought he could do it alone
many of us joined the voice of a cause
win or lose we know
in a viral environment he did what he could
we did what we did or could
and we are so much calmer now
perhaps our calm will beget calm

the goal is worthy but the getting there is
most likely many generations away
like
evolution takes a very long time
and the world peace hope
gets grabbed by self promotion etc.
and we get distracted
from the steps that get us there

one step seeks peace within the self
two step seeks peace within a community
three step seeks peace within a nation

are you peaceful tonight
does it seem out of sight
tell me dear
are you peaceful tonight

Hatfields and the McCoys
is where we were then
back where an eye for an eye was not enough
re hating the whole clan (or tribe)
where are we now
but hating a whole clan (or Muslims)
not only did we not act like Christians
(turn the other cheek)
we didn’t even act like Jews
(eye for an eye)
and no
we are not all the same
in our hating choices
as if we’ll never learn
the object of our hate does not suffer
we do
our body does
our mind does
our soul does
but the spirit lives
the very same one we are born with
let it go
set it free
then do the right thing
this land is my land
this land is your land
from California to the New York Island
from the Red red Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
this land was made for you AND me
might we not learn to respectfully disagree?
<------------------------- this way to peace.

there is a time for move forward
a time for standing still
and a time to debate, honestly

there is no time for name calling
no time for labels, this or that
nor time to waste

now is a good time, countrymen
to come to the aid
of our country, so divided…

we left you a constitutional
with the ability to change it
understanding our fallibility

we feared
the same debate we had
would continue thru the years

we understood the need for
both conservatives and progressives
to compromise for the good of our nation

we have lost control of our foreign policy
(England’s politician’s never had it)
try debating that (without hate)

or shall we stay divided, and fall?

don’t remember the details how i arrived
or how long ago, only that i seemed to be the only one
believing i would get out if i found someone in authority
who would help me make a phone call to a friend or relative
that would pick me up
so many people moving about
all afraid or unwilling to talk to me
the only bathroom i found was a short spiral
to a small hole in the floor, no door, i squatted
hearing someone coming, the inner wall was close enough
i reached out my arm, waved my hand, said “taken”
it was a young man, i expected rape, and said,
“would you rape a grandmother?
someone might rape your grandmother”
now we were standing at the entrance
his friend came along and said “com’on, man”
i continued my search, still believing…
what i found was a huge/high fenced-in enclosure
adjacent to a hospital, i remembered
that was where my hell started

one with compassion in a tan jump suit
told me to follow him and i did
believing he was a kind of trustee
we arrived at a partly boarded area with a horizontal crack
large enough to crawl threw which i did
with a sense of urgency
this area was less crowded
he led me to his car, i got in the back seat
believing he was going to drive me somewhere
where i could get help, but he got out of the car
and walked away, i walked toward a small group
one man was smoking a filtered cigarette
have no idea how long since i’d had one
asked if he had a spare, no answer
asked another one if he had any cigarettes
he handed me an open carton, i asked
if he had a light as i reached into the box
what i found was a couple of dried bread sticks
and a handful of rice and instantly realized
the only difference of here from there
here was some food, i wasn’t that hungry
yet
yet moving around more i discovered
we are still behind the huge/high fence

don’t remember how i got home
sitting on my bed
a cool summer breeze coming in my window
somewhere around midnight
but do remember my first thought…
this is what my world is coming to
soothing my cheeks and soothing my hair
into knowing the need to change
to a simpler life
for a beginning
and the need to write my story

fall softly sweet jasmine
released from rooted home
i’m sorry some nursery person
potted you from your nature
happy you somehow ended
in the middle of my living room
named in honor and as a go-between
my thoughts to my dis-incarnate loved
one who suffered thru his path as long
as he was humanly able
thank you for the effort to say goodbye
never knowing
i’ve been there and it is hard and yes
we all let go of everything somewhere
down some time line
letting go the pain goes too
then what is left is hope
to see you again…

{.,}

one night escape
from herstory memories
history awash in salt and sugar

the children awaken still hungry
mother’s milk aborted to
inefficiencies

damn you God of Gods
allowing rest for the wicked
ignorant in their opulence

what qualifies American poverty?
$127 per month discretionary
one shot of tequila, one Ambien

the Seer said, “Own your pain.”
the Finder replied,
“All pain is our own.”

one more lamentation
one more day to face
one more night
