Despite all my troubles with money, the roof over my head and state of the human condition, I think of myself as a person living a relatively good life.

There were several different occasions in which I could have loss my life, but I’m still here.

One of those occasions was when contracted HIV back in 1989. And because I really didn’t want to live anymore back then, refused taking HIV medication until 2017.

I think there are at least two reasons why didn’t die: a kick ass immune system and my personal war with what ever passes for a Supreme Being.

It was simple, I wanted to die, the Supreme Being stopped me.

And I have say, we are likely still at odds with each other.

I was considering going off the meds, because I hate medication, but realized that I still have sex with folks then I should protect them from the virus.

And I think that’s a good reason.

Because the labor environment has changed, I’m considering a work a home job.

Crossing fingers!

And by the way, have a happy 4th of July!

Learning how to be a better human being through poetry, prose and my journal. Still working on a better life in San Diego, CA..... Truth is, I am just another human among eight billion other folks on planet Earth. I've been told that my poetry is dark. I practice poetry.
