He wants mom to die
Inheritance will be grand
Greed has made him vile

Letter of Thanks to David
Dear David,
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing support throughout my pregnancy. Your generous financial contributions have made a significant difference and have alleviated so much of the stress that comes with preparing for the arrival of our baby.
While I understand that our relationship had unintended consequences, I am genuinely thankful for the memories we share, particularly of that fateful night. I do regret the strain it placed on your marriage, and I hope that with time, wounds will heal.
On a brighter note, I am incredibly...

Hungry Dopes
A pizza delivery man was beaten to death a few towns over where I live 3 years ago. Three teenage geniuses who decided this was the way to get some free food. They took all of the delivery man's pizza, but left the $500 that was in the man's pocket!

Wealthy in the Ways that Matter
Yeah, so…
By everyone else’s standards
I’m pretty much broke
I haven’t held a job since 1996
Health problems qualified me
To live off the government
I worked from the moment I could
Until the moment I couldn’t
I was twenty-eight years old
When I stopped being a workaholic
And began adjusting to life with less
It took quite a while
It wasn’t pretty
I don’t own a car
I rarely travel
I live in a rent controlled apartment
Budgeting is more than a necessity
I’ve learned to be comfortable ...

work no. 3
i abandoned all hope today
standing in front of the time clock
watched the glimmer drain
from my baby blue bloodshots
in the spiders web of software
honeyed flies they caught there
skipped lunch for stockholder cruises
i won't answer phones anymore
carpal tunnel, finger tip bruises
i'm running out of friends to ignore

Dial Portugal 1944
Under the cloak of neutrality,
Portugal, land of ancient navigators,
watched the world in calamity,
in the silence of their own fears.
Salazar, with his iron hand,
kept the war out the door,
but the echo of the conflict was sincere,
and in the gloom, hope was dead.
The Tagus reflected the moonlight
while spies danced in Lisbon.
War, a shadow that continues
in the story that memory sings.
Tungsten fueled the economy,
dark business in dark times.
Neutrality was a utopia
or a game between several...

All Hotels Are Whorehouses
Some people would not object to the view that small hotels are brothels,
But if you say big hotels are whorehouses, many people would disagree with you.
Illicit sexual activities take place in all hotels, so they are all the same.
The size of the building makes no difference; neither does the owner’s prestige.
Single-storey hotels, inns, motels and guesthouses are small brothels.
And a resort hotel that resembles a skyscraper is nothing but a large whorehouse.
Tycoons who lack integrity profit greatly from sex by running hotels and sex shops, ...

paperbacks, before nineteen seventy one

doesn’t matter now, but back then it was the price of a penguin

Online Sales
Skipping through the tulips
selling my wares on eBay,
when I sold a miniature fish
but its tail suspiciously got away!
The customer said it was broken,
and sent me a picture to compare,
I could tell it wasn't the same fish I'd sent,
but there was no way to prove it and be fair.
So, I gave her back her money,
and I skipped through the tulips once again,
when along came another customer,
but it didn't turn out to be a win.
She complained about some stains,
on a vintage towel that I had sold her.
I stated, "it was in the...

So-called Police Intelligence
The leaders of the police force claim that they have an intelligent organization,
But its evil-minded members have not demonstrated real intelligence.
There is no evidence whatsoever that police are truly intelligent people.
Unwise persons are not intelligent; it requires wisdom to be intelligent.
Police are generally arrogant persons and they lack the ability to reason.
In fact, the police cannot have a sensible conversation with anybody.
The police regard having a conversation with someone as arguing.
Furthermore, they behave as though they...

'24's At The Front Door
I wanna erase the pain revolving around my cerebellum
Reflecting a time of peace like an antebellum
The serum, unlike red rum, is my creativity
Waving the white flag when writing poetry
Another year meets history as we're approaching 2024
Expeditiously escorting 2023 right outta the back door
I for sure don't want anymore of what '23 had to offer
Devising a plan for how I can add dollars to my coffer
I want my daughter and I to reestablish our bond
A bond that's floated away like lily pads in a pond
Want my marriage to...

Career Changes and Life Changes
I've always been an independent real estate agent like my mom was before me. Because of my need for stability and benefits I went with a larger company starting last June. In July, I posed for this photo with other new real estate agents.
The sweet woman in the middle is Rebecca. She had the most sales for one month for a new agent and has acted like a mentor for me. I now sell properties all over the Dallas area. It was this company's August training that changed the course of my life. The company has been good to me and let me work flexible hours while I'm pregnant.
