‘Tis the season for jolly, affirming words which put us in a holiday spirit. We went through what seemed a rather random year that was quite contradictory with itself. But I will leave that type of musing for another day. The point is we are supposed to be wishing everyone well. We are to be thankful. We are to be a little wiser with the words we use. It’s a an interesting expectation.
With that in mind, I write this bit for today. Go where you are celebrated, not where you’re tolerated. Simple, really. By celebrated, I don’t mean trumpets and gold. Instead, I mean appreciated and not taken for granted. Just being tolerated can be demoralizing and draining.
It’s about knowing your worth. It’s about others knowing your worth.
Simple, really.

Hehe Dear Miriam When i Am Much Younger
Living Literally in a Place Originally Named
Hell Yes Oh No For Those So Unrefined
Then in Areas of Human Achievement
In Love and Peace By The Year the Area
Gained A Different Name With Yes Literally
The Most So-Called Christian Churches Per
Capita in A Locality Globe-Wide Per Guinness Book
of World Records
i Found myself
Very Androgynous
Looking Before Puberty
Sent me Soaring in Every Way
Hehe Even With A Mustache so
Very Early And A Sprout of 120 Pounds
Close to 6 Feet Tall in Just 8th Grade
Awkward
A Way of
Life With SMiles
Yes Before That at 12 Years
Old the So-Called Christian Marching
Soldier Boys Literally Threatened me With
Bodily Harm And Literally Spit on me For Daring
To Do What they
Told me Was Not
ALLoWeD in this Most
So-Called Christian Town in the
World as If Being Androgynous Wasn’t
A Greatest Sin By Nature Alone at 12 Years-Old
Any Boy Who Smiled in this Town May Be Threatened
And Spit on then in the Early
70’s for Real Perhaps Even
if they Wore Their Hair
Long Like Hippy
Jesus With A Beard too
For me at Least No Big Surprise
When TRump Became the Leader
of All the Local Churches So Many
Decades Even After That Yet Listen From
Where i Come From Being Tolerated Surely
Beats Getting Spit on For Smiling as A Boy
Whose Eyes Were A Bit too Beautiful With
Fair Skin And Long Eyelashes After That Sprouting Up
They Just Called me Ugly And Not Deserving to Even Exist
It’s true Some Folks Who Go Through That Seek Vengeance Against
The World Others Grow
SKiN oF LoVE So THiCK
That Only Sticks and Stones
Will Break Their Will to SMiLE Again
It’s Like the Plight of Women in Iran
Who Wanna Breathe Free Uncovering
Sadly Folks Forced to Build Sports Stadiums
To Their Death in Qatar Yes it’s Like Stove Top
Burnings of Women in Pakistan Who Didn’t Have
A Valuable Enough Dowry to Pay Their way for a Husband
40 Percent of Women Raped Legally in Marriage Yes in Some
Areas of India Still Now True Raped As Strangers/Other Family too
Gay Men Thrown Off of Building Tops in Saudi Arabia
Lesbians Covered To Their Chest And Stoned in Public
As Relatives Forced Away From Connecting to the Opposite
Sex May Turn That Frustration onto Closest Family Members
in Not Such a
Nice Way At All
Honestly Some Days
It’s Just Enough to Live in A Free
Country And Just Be Tolerated Enough
To Even Express Who We Are Freely For What
i’ve Seen of Women Spending An Entire Decade
Moving From Degree to Degree Job to Job
Country to Country
Just to Escape
To America From
A Place They Aren’t
Treated As Fully Human at all
Yet It’s True There Are All Kinds of Human
Skin Thick and Thin all Kinds of Human Peace
Thick and Thin All Kinds of Human Love Thick And Thin
If You Find Someone
Truly Kind In This
Life Treasure them
For What is Becoming
Rarer And Rarer Everywhere
Humans Become THeir Things More Than Human…
You Know What It Is All Worth it NoW As i Never Give
Up on Being Kind And In ‘the Real World’ Folks Even
Total Strangers Really
Notice And Yes
Often Tell me
i Bring
‘Spring to
Winter’ in
A World of Things…
i’m Too Busy Celebrating
This Life Freely in Play and Others Than to Worry How They See
me Doing That Just For the Helluva It For WHeRE i’M From…
And It’s True For Many Years ‘They’ Took my Human Away
Now i Am
A Real
Human Again
Just SMiLinG Real
For the Helluva It Yes
Understanding That If
i Lived In Other Countries
Not Only Spit on Yet Probably
Just God Damned Killed And Dead…
Oh Just The Gift of Soils And Souls That/Who Do Not Bleed
Happy Thanks Giving Eve With SMiLes God Yes This Gift of Free…
And in A UniVerse Full of Very Cold and Hot Rocks Just A Sliver
Opportunity
For an Almost
Hairless Ape to
Enjoy Heaven
Hehe at Least
on the ‘Crown’ of my Head
If i Have to Do it Solo in Eden
In A Naked Enough Whole Complete
Dance And Song
So Be It Life is
A Joy When Free
To Be Who We Truly Are With SMiLes…
Even if the Only Smiling Face LooQueeNKinG
Back At Us
Is ‘God Nature’ in
A Mirror For Real
Like the Rest of Existence Loving Life Peacefully
‘Dumbed Down Enough Up’ Newly Now to ‘See’ Or Just
Be And Do Who They Truly Are So Very Free With Wings..:)
