Another Colossus?
Whiles valiantly attempting slumber I heard a broadcast, which I'm certain was the radio, regarding singer Kate Smith. Though long deceased, she is just now finally getting into trouble about singing a racist song or two. I do not sympathize with her since I am convinced that I would have gotten into Dutch right away had I been the culprit singer.
It is noteworthy that there is a now disgraced statue of her that has been removed from it's place of honor and covered up by a cloth. I am all for it. In fact, we should regularly replace all statuary every twenty years or so. (Good for...

Blasphemy
Got a subscription to the New Yorker
Thought I could handle it
Having read an article in my dentist's office
While waiting for root canal
Finding out that literature called my bluff
I'm a simple man with expensive lust
That damn magazine is dense in thought
Though skinnier than it used to be
I took the bait
I'm no intellectual
Living on the wrong side of Park Avenue
That mag shows up every Tuesday
They pile up on the end table
Waiting for me to find the courage
I tell my wife I need to rent a...

Tender is the Night
she danced with
one eye on her beer
sang whenever she wanted to
and smoked until she choked
gave all her spare change
to the alley cats
and the mangy mutts
had a heart of gold
and punched like Rocky Marciano
give her a boilermaker
and a pack of Chesterfields
she'd have your back forever
mystery and pain
on the inside
bold and fearless
on her skin
like sunshine and midnight together
lost...but she knew where she was
one eye on her beer
sang whenever she wanted to
and smoked until she choked
gave all her spare change
to the alley cats
and the mangy mutts
had a heart of gold
and punched like Rocky Marciano
give her a boilermaker
and a pack of Chesterfields
she'd have your back forever
mystery and pain
on the inside
bold and fearless
on her skin
like sunshine and midnight together
lost...but she knew where she was

most often
refuse to see
and listen
to the two sides
of things
Believing
in a one sided story
is more convenient
for their limited lenses
and narrow minds

Oh NO! Snap! And Life is gone.
Today I've sent an alarming invitation
to my yucky past of scholarly doom;
when boredom struggled in patience;
I have sent it; but to whom?
It was to my frizzy hair.
It was the issue, most of all.
Excellence does often bear
the crown of lack of hairstyle.
I did waste my teenage years.
For I guiltily just always studied.
Salt smells of vacations but my tears
tasted like the very same ingredient, but bullied.
Now, university has different airs.
Freedom unlocked, like there's no tomorrow. ...
to my yucky past of scholarly doom;
when boredom struggled in patience;
I have sent it; but to whom?
It was to my frizzy hair.
It was the issue, most of all.
Excellence does often bear
the crown of lack of hairstyle.
I did waste my teenage years.
For I guiltily just always studied.
Salt smells of vacations but my tears
tasted like the very same ingredient, but bullied.
Now, university has different airs.
Freedom unlocked, like there's no tomorrow. ...
