And
Go

As
Well
To
Let
It
Freeze,
Or
If
It’s
Warm,
Produce
Slush
With
Perfect
Ease.

Rain On Snow. No Clear Way To Know Whether To Shovel, Sweep, Or Give Up And Go Back To Sleep. What The Hell, It’s Just As Well To Let It Freeze, Or If It’s Warm, Produce Slush With Perfect Ease.

Beastly Trumper Slithers Beneath Dank Weeds, His Slimy Brood Whimpering Their Needs As They Grub Among Rank Misdeeds, Eating With Voracious Greed The Nation’s Wealth, Damaging The Country’s Health. Eating Until Nothings Left And All Is Lost. And Who Will Pay The Cost? Morning
Light A Mist, Frost Kissed, As I rise From Rest, By The New Day Blessed. Crows Stalk The Side Walk, Patches Of Dense Black, Then Glossy Plumage Shining, They Rise Like Notes Of A Song, Remembered, But Long Gone. A
Boa Of Snowy Cloud Slides Sideways Down The Mountain Flank, A Furry Shroud Shrugged From A Stone Shoulder, Slipping Gaily South, Boulder To Massive Boulder. Rain.

Today Watching The Impeachment Hearings. Can’t Turn Away From What These Folks Have To Say. Some Speak Of Facts, But The Other Side Attacks Facts. It Becomes Easy To See Who Are The Fools, They Are The Ones Whose Questions Are Cruel. Some Carry The Flag, And Brag They Are True, But Those Upholding Our Law Know What They Must Do. Stolen
Hours, Time Alone, Solace For The Flesh And Bone, To Contemplate The Braided Thoughts That Translate Into Paint And Word, Silent, Unknown, And Unheard, Until An Object Comes To Be, For Anyone That Cares To See The Person That Is Me. |
