I Miss This Human...

Lunatic Poetry was the order of the past few nights:

4/⁰3/²0²2:

"Sometimes I just can't..."

Charcoal dawn, purple sunset

Beautiful and distracting, dizzying...

When I should sleep I know not

All I can think of is where you are...

My compass is broken,

the magnetism tuned to foreign poles...

So I'll wander about until you whisper...

Then I'll be whole...

...I hope...

A stream of silver clouds now, above, carrying a question: Is this your game, or is it mine?

Answer: I won't know until you kiss me that one last time...

Another: Which of us owns the other, I wonder...

You reply: the memory of your smile... and I begin swimming again... or drowning... not sure which...

Autonomic reflex embroiled in a battle with the hunger of a starving heart...

I live this battle every second,

To the point that it defines me...

My heroin...

I scream, long and silent:

Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you....

Then, in supplication: please fuck me just one more time...

... for old time's sake...

Please...

...

It's crude, but then, again, love is brutal and rapacious...as is my appetite for every atom of you...

[Note: I don't know what it all means. I was held captive by the crashing words and could do little else but grip the pen with a shaking hand and tears in my eyes. I swear I wasn't inebriated in that time of writing, but I can't swear that I was sane. Still, it stirs something in me to know it issued forth from some part of me, a part I thought maybe dead, but at least dormant for the past five or six years. It felt good to pour out verse. And I knew I had to share it...

Thank you for indulging me by reading this.

Closing note: I think I may have been possessed by the ghost of Charles Bukowski, now that I think of it...]

Hey, is that Mr. Drummond from Diff'rent Strokes? Sure looks like him. Man, time's must be tougher than I thought.

Just compared images:

Yep, it's him!

Guess he's practicing his own diff'rent strokes these days...

US nurse sues after being forced into quarantine as she returned from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone By Rosa Prince, New York, telegraph.co.uk

Kaci Hickox accused New York and New Jersey officials of criminalising those risking their lives to fight virus in Africa

A US nurse who says she was treated like a "criminal" after returning from caring for Ebola victims in West Africa has hire…

I applaud this nurse for her humanitarian efforts, but condemn her for lashing out because of her quarantine. She is a risk to the general welfare and for her to not submit to the quarantine is highly objectionable. I hope they keep her locked up until she proves to be disease-free.

That IS sexy. I love a woman with a brilliant, GOTCHA sense of humor. Sexy as fu**.

A pseudo-wisdom I heard many years ago says that, "You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends' noses." This photo is strong evidence to refute that...

I truly wonder if people think this kind of money just magically appears. What I wonder, though, is HOW is this money generated?

Is that Donald Trump's wife or daughter? Its It's hard to tell because Cheeto orange is always so pervasive...

Regardless of the white noise pollution that coughs up from the frothing crowd, this collaborative work was brilliant, imaginative, funny, intelligent and some of the best music I've encountered today. Superior stuff. This is what the Internet is for me. Keep the bullshit politics, posturing, and the stench of the roiling cesspool generated by people who like to swim stick waters, and just give me art, literature and beautiful, provocative music.
