Re: RIP Cecil Lee — author of Sunday Streams

I really liked Cecil. I remember our conversations, onscreen, by phone and in person. I love how Sooz and Cec and I joked about my "new rain powers" when I visited their house the second time when the desert was cold and rainy. Cecil and I relaxed on the back porch, and he told a story about being a...

Re: Encore

I, on a few occasions, have managed to return to a few of my favorite spots in the desert wilderness, though necessarily on foot, and yes, I experienced a triumphant sense each time.

Re: Donald Trump is a Liar

Thanks, Mr. saw. It's not a good "poem," really. If perezozo was here, he'd crush this one. It's (arguably) too political and didactic, (arguably) inappropriate and inartistic. It's (arguably) too heavy-handed. (Arguably) could be accused of stating the obvious. Yet, re: its subject, the ultimate em...

Donald Trump is a Liar

This is a jazz piece,
a classical piece of
unvarnished truth,
a little punk too.

Trump is a liar.
Trump is the liar,
a pathological liar,
a two time purveyor.

Re: Everyone’s just pretending

MAGA, whether it realizes it or not, is in bed with these so-called "Christian Evangelical" End-Timers, and Israel is well aware of this. Some of the things I was taught 50 years ago in church were pretty alarming.

Re: Everyone’s just pretending

No lie. I found a book about the Israel-Palestinian conflict in a long forgotten corner of my bookshelf, and I will read this book and try to educate myself. After the indoctrination of my Church, one of those Evangelical Churches that assumed Israel taking over of the Middle East would be just what...

A few thoughts on the War (yet another one), 5 days in

I hope I don't piss off anyone with my take(s) here on the current chaotic world situation, and more generally, Trump's first 14 months in office. but here goes . . . What amazes (and certainly appalls) me is how his Enablers and his Cult CONTINUE to twist themselves into pretzels of belief and "log...

I like this. There's a reason why Hunter S. Thompson probed the depths and surface glitz of Las Vegas, looking for the "American Dream."

Spirits in the Material World

Were The Police prophets?
"There is no political solution,
to our troubled evolution."
"Have no faith in Constitutions."
