Surrounded by gnats
Flying and circling Biting and non-biting Traveling in large clouds Feeling largesse Rotting infestation Surrounded by gnats Feeling the pricks Scratching at the wound
If you are going through hell, keep going
True grit. Grinding down. Walking through the pain. Maybe hunched over but don’t back down. It may be hell, but your feet can stand on the hot coals. Hell can stop a few. But it can also push you to be strong. Grit. Going through hell is no […]
I’ve got an onion gorilla on my mind
I’m sitting on the couch binge watching yet another show. I’m dozing off and thd phrase “onion gorilla” keeps running through my head. I have no clue what an onion gorilla may be.
Of course its about the psychology of it
I watched a newscaster ask a journalist, “aren’t we at the point where we need to understand tbe psychology of it”? She was referring to the Covid pandemic. I just wanted to throw my paper in hand at the television but what good would that have done? Let […]

I’ll win, but at what cost I’ll bring it home, to what applause I’ll reign supreme, yet the mudslide is thick I’ll cross the finish line, with aches and broken bones Talk to me without the advesarial stance We can dance to careless whispers Hopscothing in the moonlight […]
