I am back to blogging from home. It is now grey-weather winter and the semi-lockdown has re-arrived. I can only attend Starbucks for a pick-up. Simon, Brandon, Jorge and the girls (Alex, Large Blonde – who impresses me with her brightness – and Brunette – who has my tea ready when she sees me acrossContinue reading “December 5, 2020”

Oh, dear me. I have complicated my life in ways that are not the least bit necessary. That realization started with my website experiment. I tried to make it cheaper because it seems silly to have one in the first place. WhY? I am not selling my writing there, just parking it somewhere that folksContinue reading “November 30, 2020”

I opened the New York Times today. No pictures of a guy in a red baseball cap golfing, no re-broadcast tweets, no Eric, no Donald J. Jr. … no Giuliani. Mike Pompeo has disappeared! No raucous rally photos! No effigy Democrats being burned… Not a word about Qanon. Kayleigh McEnany, gone. Lindsey Graham, quiet. NoContinue reading “November 25, 2020”
November
The sweeping viewis of mixed greys,dirty whites.A smaller viewis warm red,deep black.Unremarkably,earth turns a cold shoulderbacktoward buzzing summer,silences the birds withone, raised, hand.Allis focused on a roulette,and a bouncing,clattering,captured,cold, steel ball.

Never was the world I know more peculiar than now. I am at the office (where else?). With the surrounding tall windows, I feel that I am in a small vacuum jar. The jar contains my thoughts, my loves, my breathing. The world has become very small and very large at once. I have theContinue reading “November 23, 2020”

Whoa, there… I slept pretty late today. It is after the ninth hour! Quick! I will miss the bus of the day if I don’t hurry it up a bit. When I woke, it was to a groggy sensation of dreams being wisps that are vacuumed up by the switched on fan of a newContinue reading “November 21, 2020”

That is a somewhat repetitive number…20. 20/2020. It is smooth, though. Sounds smooth. I had a smooth event today. I got the lawn and garden waste put at the curb late yesterday and it was picked up by a truck today. The lawn and garden waste was smoothly gathered at the very end of theContinue reading “November 20, 2020”

No office today. I am rethinking the gadding about. Yes, while there is no vaccine and no effective treatment, it’s best to stay in and tough it through. I can work from my kitchen table and go for walks to get out of the house. The walks are actually a brilliant thing, I am gettingContinue reading “November 19, 2020”

I am, where else? at the office. I am excited because the book, Buster L’Orange – The Biography of an Ordinary Man, is nearing a final draft status. I’m not sure if I should release the chapters/sections as I finish them or maybe hold them back a bit. Maybe, I could finish a section aheadContinue reading “November 17, 2020”
911 and the Gibbous Moon
Full nude,he was found, butt downand bleeding in the barberry.Fearing he’d fallen,maybe striking the flat part of the roof,at hospital, they ordered x-raysas proof of unbroken bone.He lived aloneand ‘they’ were the cops. Anonymous callers,Saturday’s last hour,each relayed the same odd tune,“With his arms stretched out there,some Asshole lies bareon a balcony, welcoming moon!” ByContinue reading “911 and the Gibbous Moon”
