Is it Doomsday already?I bare recall the blushof 1920-30-40-68when so manymillions spat their hate. Is it Doomsday already?Gilded Maseratis moveto crush the crowd,splashing sin’s earned wagesall about… Is it Doomsday already?Will lovers lose againthe bright blue worldas flags and improprietiesunfurl?
A Photograph of St. Aubin Street, July Twelfth, Nine-thirty P.M.
Everything the camera can see, it doesn’t showabout this ordinary street that wasn’t quieta couple hours ago.In foreground, one door hangs from a last hinge,another sprawls on the front porch floor,echoing that hearts were singedeither by love’s impromptu riotor shattered in methodical warover that smashed-to-bits radio. On the lawn’s barren husk,up against commerce’s concrete wall,withContinue reading “A Photograph of St. Aubin Street, July Twelfth, Nine-thirty P.M.”

Bleah…
April 25, 2022 A dreary, chilly rain day today. I got my groceries, produce, fruit and the like. The young feller at Carl’s Produce had an odd look today, his hair was like Don King’s.

Music and Musing Y’see, the problem about staying away from Facebook is: I don’t have a place to put my random thoughts about things. I miss that.

I wrote a short poem about birds but it wasn’t about birds. The poem was about perspectives and points of view. How does a bird feel about flying? I know how flying looks from my point of view but how about the bird’s? Isn’t flying a work-a-day thing for birds? Typical diary entry: Got up. Continue reading “March 14, 2022”
Chicken Feed
My birds have been busy, are resting now. Earlier, there was buzzing of roof tops in a fast game played before the day got too hot. The birds play, I have work and do not. I call these my birds and watch but don’t feed them. They seem to flow past the window on whim,Continue reading “Chicken Feed”

It is more than three years since I have had a cold or flu of any kind. I guess that social distancing and mask-wearing have made the difference? It almost has to be so. I used to have at least one cold in every season. My supposition is that those who are still protesting vaccines,Continue reading “March 9, 2022”
