DNA

human life

is a lace

on the shoe

of death

do not hesitate

to embrace love

for soon our life

is tied

and we are walked away.

Teapots and Tactics.

A new beginning
a demarcation
an obfuscation
the tea ceremony
endowment
rings exchanged and families joined
anticipation.

Blue Night

when i am old
i will eat peanut butter sandwiches
and sandwiches made from fried egg and mayonnaise
and drink milk.
nothing else.
when i am old and alone I’ll learn to wield a machete
paint my face and chest blue
await the cold blue night under the stars next to my car
i will be alone and at peace when i am old.

Zee

i am reborn

with your love —

it has sent me

to kite high

portions of the sky.

jib (circa 1970)

camera

narrow your

self expression

to a pin hole

concentrate all your brightness

the lens

that you create

will show

your focus

to the world.

CHINOs

Christians in name only.  CHINOs.  You watch American Idol.  You spend your Sundays watching NFL football and drinking beer.  Christ is a word you use when you are angry.

embrace my outer child

reflections

in a cold cool

puddle –

muddied steps

of a past life

past love

past lies

and a leaf

drifting,

blown away by the wind

of tomorrow.

RINOs Re-visited

The greatest expansion of the federal government was conducted by the Lincoln administration. Abe’s  administration was also known for eviscerating State’s rights.

The argument could therefore be made that Republicans that don’t believe in a strong federal government and the weakening of State’s rights are Republicans in name only. After all, the Republican Party is the party of Lincoln. Nothing more, nothing less.

A true conservative goes back to first principles, so I’m told. So either embrace the party of Lincoln or form a new party. Don’t be a RINO.
