It Beats Living Out On The City Streets
There are some of us
who agree that letting
a blonde teen appear
naked in a porn movie
or two is not a good
idea. But one thing is
for sure. It beats living
out on the city streets.

The 50th Anniversary of Jack Benny's Death
He brought laughter and he was important to many.
He died fifty years ago and his name was Jack Benny.
Mel Blanc appeared quite often on Jack's show.
At the age of eighty, it was Benny's time to go.
If Jack had died one day earlier, he would've died on Christmas Day.
He was a very talented individual who died half a century ago today.
Jack was an actor and it's an actor's job to pretend.
He went into a coma before he died and it was sad because it was the end.

This Guy's Indeed In His Happy Place
You
could say
that once I'm
inside my own
apartment, this guy's
indeed in his happy
place for he could do what it
is without having anyone...
including his family... come to
drive him out of his mind whatsoever.

Last meeting for Peace
Potatoes danced under silver umbrellas.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.

You All Deserve Praise
I'm not writing a tribute to one particular person or even several.
I'm just going to say to all that are following me, THANK YOU!
Your all very unique in your own ways. No one is better or greater then the other. We're all equals here.
I read your poems, I comment. I occasionally give an award and many of you have done the same for me.
It's appreciated beyond what I can write here.
To the DUP community that I'm in contact with everyday. You know who you are. I have lots of respect for all of you.
You intrigue me, enlighten me, you've influenced me...

Sanity or Insanity
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Demons running through my veins
There's nothing I would ever change
Network damage - Connection Split
Input - Output - Complete Shit
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Harsh stories & poems run through my brain
Inside my body, a madman reigns
It's my reality
It's my illusion
It's my burning pain
Never one for a New Years Resolution
The one thing I'll never refuse to give up
Is to screw with people's minds
Ya know....Fuck shit up!! ...

Rest In Peace, Hazel V
One year ago tonight, I had to watch as your life came to an end.
It was sad to witness your demise and I felt so much pain within.
You died in 2023 on the 9th of December.
You'll be a dog who I'll always remember.
When I saw you die, it was sad to know that you would have no tomorrow.
Each and every person who has lost a dog can understand my sorrow.
Last year, you didn't live long enough to see Christmas arrive.
Rest In Peace, Hazel, I certainly am sorry that you didn't survive.

Dear diary: thoughts about family Dec '24
I don't understand a great deal about psychology, I spend a lot of time trying to manage my own, but I'm not an expert in people.
Something I've never really understood is family dynamics. It's never made sense to me, the insular nuclear unit.
I don't like secrets. Well, I like my own secrets. I don't like other people's secrets. I don't like having to play pretend for other people, so that the world looks at them as better than they really are. Notable exception is my daughter. She reminds me too much of myself.
My family is all about secrets and tradition...

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

Merry Christmas, Mom - Part XII
You were my mother until I was forty-one.
I was fortunate and lucky to be your son.
December has arrived and Christmas is near.
Life would be better if you were still here.
You were the best woman that I've ever known.
But since you died, I've spent Christmases alone.
If you and I could share another Christmas, it would be great.
But you died over eleven years ago and it was a terrible fate.
I still miss you to this day and that is certainly true.
Have a Merry Christmas, Mom, everybody loves you.

King Crimson- In The Wake Of Poseidon
During the US tour in late 1969, King Crimson imploded. Ian McDonald and Michael Giles had too much too soon and would depart to record an eponymous record. Similarly, Greg Lake had met up with Keith Emerson (formerly of The Nice) while on tour and agreed to form a band upon their return to the UK. (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) Robert Fripp & Peter Sinfield were left with the reigns of the band and faced the task of recording the follow-up. (though both Lake & Giles did make contributions to the album with the latter's brother Peter adding bass). In March of 1970 Robert Fripp was asked...
