Creeping Towards A Solstice

Here, at the end of May, the sun has almost risen, climbed above the horizon , beginning a seasonal tease of long days, short nights, warmth creeping to heat, as we receive the gift of sweat.. People show their skin and more Tits and ass, packages. And for the truly prurient, bellies.

Bellies, the glorious testimonial to baklava and beer. Sometimes,for women, babies grow in those bellies, in útero ,to be more precise. Promises, curses, dreams.

Cycles. That is what the universe shares. Dramatically at Stonehenge or Bethlehem. Always more than a day. Offering light for concupiscence, Darkness for the same.

The really clever people have made their own suns, small enough for rockets to carry. Although useless for growing grain or trees or fruit, these microsuns receive their ill deserved attention.

We make a different sacrifice to these lesser gods, happiness,.

Who Ya’ Gonna Believe?

I’m sitting here, pondering the question, “Who is more trustworthy, Ted Cruz or Anthony Blinken?” I hear you. You want your money to have value, the schools to teach the values that worked for Abraham Lincoln and Dr King, and your streets to be safe. How patriarchal. We’re having a Revolution. Don’t you get it? I need to eat right now, quite frankly.

Up. It’s Dark With Coffee

I’m up, watching YouTube. There’s an attractive 40ish woman, posing in a mesh bikini.

I don’t know what it’s like to lust any more, to carry a seduction through to its conclusion, to be with a woman who values my company more than watching an episode of Adam 12.

This reflection is descending into a rant about being 73 and lonely.

It’s Been A Few Days

We’ve had massacres at concerts, bridge destruction, personal electronics malfunctions, births, deaths. You know. Life goes on, John Mellenkamp reminded us.

I’m watching trains. My guardian angel, Jade, told me to avoid the news for two days. That is getting easier and easier.

News, I think, is how we’re manipulated, by the people who make the bombs and pay off the politicians.

Enough of that. If you have chance to get laid, go for it! Nothing beats an orgasm.

Grief Over Getting Lost

I’m looking at my house. It’s filled with stuff, I once deemed important. Books I planned to read, CD’s I thought I would listen to, movies on my Watch List.

Now, all of this sits here, ready to entertain me, inspire great thoughts, or just stimulate thinking.

I had locked myself in Bedlam and thrown away the key,. Now I must plot my escape. Let me keep it simple. 1)Pack up what I don’t want.

2) Throw out the old newspapers, the clothes I no longer wear can go to the thrift stores.

3) What’s left is the grieving over getting lost in such a big way
