What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? To raise awareness about problems concerning civil liberty, poverty and empowerment. I don’t think enough is being done about these issues, especially in the United States. Civil liberty and economic empowerment should be basic rights.

0935 I seemed to have developed a bad habit of looking gifted horses in the mouth. BTW, have any of you spoken to a Trojan lately? Well, I found an apartment in downtown San Diego….. it’s a cockroach infested 125 sqft space missing the tub I needed, which management refused to let me inspect beforeContinue reading “07.26.2023”

Don’t look back….

Soulmates, allies or enemies: They all look alike under the skin And carry no visible weapons. Don’t like being unevenly yoked, I pull myself. The attraction is real, but I pretend they are not there. I’ve been here before and I don’t want to play anymore. All I want is the exit door.

I was high above themountainswhen I heardthe(*pop*). I threw outmy Mercedes,andMy jeweledRolex And still Iwentdown. I didn’t want tofreeze upthere, So I threwoutsome more. Over theside, over desertsI dumpedmy furs. I landed inOcean. I couldn’t swim,letting goMy ego,and felt…. Buoyant.

A Old Thing

Billion of years ago,A thing crawled froman ocean,Because there wasnothing leftfor it to eat. It ate everythingon the beach,then crawledintoa nearby forrest And ate,and ate,eventhetinyfurrybrownthings goteaten, Until the landsbecamea desert. With nothingleft,It crawledupAmountain,Diedandbecameextinct….

I don’t….

I don’t believe in Jesus, even he were real I will not follow him, Or his sisters and brothers. They’re just evil, even when wearing a dress. Ditto for heaven and hell. But I do have faith In myself, And the goodness found in humanity and a mystery called the afterlife.

Myself, Included

….try, try again.

Of course…. Can you anyone Win against mother nature? Just when you righted yer’ rudder, A freakish wave cums through, Doing what you’ve Done: Ride along. Ah, well…. If you don’t succeed….

Dance date

I don’t know how Many times I’ve met my dancer. I didn’t go to my school prom, so didn’t die in the fire the night…. I think I saw him in the eyes of a twelve year old Black boy with a .38, HIV at age 24, gone in six months. And as I age,Continue reading “Dance date”

Have noticed more teams pulling up roots to live in another city that’s a more lucrative market? For instance, I live in San Diego, which was once the home of the San Diego Chargers, who now base themselves in LA. Funny, that Detroit teams and fans stay faithful to each other, and Detroit. God IContinue reading “03.29.2023”
