Two Hundred Smiling Orphans
On a bright and sunny morning in the early January of 1994 I stood in the peaceful tranquillity of Janusz Korczak Square within the walls of Yad Vashem, Israel's famous monument to the victims of the Holocaust, which is perfectly sited near the Jerusalem Forest on the western slope of Mount Herzl (Mount of Remembrance), Jerusalem. I gazed in awe there at a large sculptured statue portraying a bearded man embracing a dozen small children as if he was protecting them from something or someone wicked. I was, in fact, looking at a fine statue standing approximately twice life size and...

body language
Physical language is very difficult
Hard to maintain
The idea of change. That's right
Me, teach me? Bad movie,
Languagelelo before, hard
Find something that helps me
I do not mind
From the night of trouble
Inhabitant.
It's very difficult. Yes

Sorry
Disappointment, is an understatement !
Devastated, is more like it but its apparent you wanted to elicit an emotive response and exploit my vulnerability as it’s become apparent you derive pleasure inflicting wounds upon my fragile psyche, and it wouldn’t matter if I wasn’t guilty of wanting you in ways I’m not supposed to.
I should've known better than to engage in a conversation that requires you to be impartial whilst deploying a lateral lens from your end as you could’ve spared us both from the headfuckery that’s unfolded.
I’m still...

epiphanies, clarity, aging and a sort of gained wisdom
Today, I am no longer.
I am no longer going to need what I know isn't needed in return
Unrequited will no longer be a madness affected
I am no longer going to worry about being too old,
an out of my hands concern, so freeing, that now I can just bask in the solace of an universal truth, that youth will always intoxicate, yet it's wisdom from experience that truly matters in the end.
I am no longer going to procrastinate,
doing in the moment what needs fucking done-
Period.
I am no longer going to allow petty outside forces and their voices...

Brutal is an Understatement
Brutal is an Understatement
Are reliable resources passé? What news source is acceptable to anyone who has supported Trump
and his Republican crew up until 2020? Now they just want to character assassinate all Democrats,
throw in a few Republicans to seem fair and balanced. When you are speaking to college educated
person who is telling you a Biden presidency will be the end of the world as they know it, Biden has
dementia and Kamal Harris (the angry black woman) will be the real president…this is just too sad.

@mom’s dismissals and doubts about me helping with rent when my loves are struggling
i know what I’m doing
I know who I love
I consider myself a decent judge of character
I am incredibly picky about who i choose to commit to
and I have chosen them
because they have again and again demonstrated respect for me and my boundaries and a value of my presence that runs deep.
No one in the past has ever taken advantage of me
That’s not just luck;
I am scrupulous and attentive and mindful of with whom, and how, I involve myself.
Sure, someone might break the trust I think I have made
and take advantage of me, ...

flash
before
my eyes
like

screening

shot
by the prism
of
light & love

Passing Ships
I’m still trying to ascertain the position in which he was briefed as his suspicions are blatantly obvious when he cross references me, and I can’t help but feel the subtle pull of his energy as his eyes drill me deeply as if he’s mining for some kind of truth & honesty to contrast the briefing prior to our inevitable introduction, when that’s all I’ve ever been.
Old habits die hard, and it’s more than apparent his investigative skills are well honed but blatantly obvious as I study the way in which we engage with one another as he attempts to casually but intently...

Glimpse from a hustler’s journal
Despite the mathematical nature of music, AI generated music somehow isn’t as compelling as the human crafted product. Go test this. Just doesn’t move you the same. Perhaps it’s the psychological element that’s missing. Maybe the best music requires that tortured soul to invoke the muse.
In which case I would say:
For the benefits of future generations of art, please continue to smack your machines whenever they’re not functioning correctly.
You have to really punish your electronics medievally if you ever want them brilliant enough to produce the first AI...
