daddy
time has passed
I'm no longer a child
but so often I find myself reaching for the seventies
the very air around me felt different
easy-going and free
my daddy was still alive
a hard man but I knew I was always safe
God I miss him
fast forward to 2020
nothing is sure
paranoia and masked people
it's been a year since I've seen loved ones face to face
in isolation, I deal with my depression the best I can
I don't want to die drowning in my own body fluid
this is serious
people are dying alone and...

There was a time when all seemed lost ...
Pandemic
Circa 2020
Working from home
Often minimal engagement
Most my customers were shut down
So living on a shoe string
Not much to do
Eventually started to paint again
The job precluded Art
Always on the road
Too tired at night or weekends
But then the pandemic
Suddenly more time than work
Out came the paints and brushes
I call this painting “Time Lost”
In the seemingly lost days
I painted for hours
It was something to do
A big deal day was when I sold one

FUTURE SHOOT IT CAN GET REAL
When you see and look at ME what do you imagine what my life would be as a child ? For I did not chose my life nor my family or parents or life, as it was given to me from my birth into this life's existences. Mentally and emotionally and physically for I didn't ask to be born, into this world full of so much destruction and hatred and jealousy, along with the greed and corruption for the almighty dollar bill that adds nothing more but separate of the races. Carried along with the hurt along with the process of the pain and suffering. Filled with so much destruction and separation and...

from the day's mixed moods :: 1-5 miscellany minimalism
1.
::this vicious thus ::
yes sir, second jabbed.
but, where are the jobs...
hmm. the real parasites
are..... _________,, you know.
2.
:: viral expressionism vs writer's block ::
love this feverish temper
i burn fluently high now...
than the wordless asphyxia
of a marooning heart.. by
the summing up chronic toxins
of a pretty veiled world's smiling
assassin acts- a slow python kill
more a sleeper cell terrorism ...

The 2020 Chip Down Blues
The torture tune of trauma town
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.

Cashier Visitation
Why couldn't I condition myself
to a box in which everything
was kindly set for me?
Does the box make you shiver? Does it?
It's set, another wins!
Also, why should I be a friend
of someone, the disgusting!
Pay attention to the baggage.
To the most crowded suitcase of all.
Does the bag make you shiver? Does it?
Everything that is full is not a closet,
The closet, by all accounts, is empty.
Are you upset about how empty it is?
Does it hurt you to see the closet so empty?
I saw the dark instrument of...

When They Came For Me
From racial disparity to gender inequality
Medical insubordinations have gripped sociality with its falsehood remedial jargon
From Covid-19 and all its variants, the cancelation of woman’s rights to a new uprising pandemic and that is now Monkey Pox
The depopulation insignia of America and its dirty concealed secrets and it is always a bipartisan agenda
This life we are living reminds me of the infamous poem, First They Came by Martin Niemöller
Hidden agenda by the government is at an all time high
The latest is the Monkey Pox, debacle it...

Pandemic Pandemonium
oh twisted
fragile mind
tangled within
a fine almost
invisable Web
creating
more intimidating
intrusive fears
while reconnecting
wiith all the long
dormant ones
breathless panic
of being among
familiar settings
that at one time
where a comfortable
sanctuary for sanity
joys of
personal freedom
cruelly taken
replaced by
self denial
of an insane situation
shame
self worth
given daily access
as true faith
is slowly ...

Heart Of Freedom
My heart wants the
world to go back
to normal but we
can't because we are
Living in:
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which governments are
responsible and will
they ever give us the
cure/vaccine are we
going to live in this
place where we give up
our freedom for safety
Or will we rise up to take
back our freedom
world to go back
to normal but we
can't because we are
Living in:
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which governments are
responsible and will
they ever give us the
cure/vaccine are we
going to live in this
place where we give up
our freedom for safety
Or will we rise up to take
back our freedom
