It's Saturday and I've written a new long-form poem!
(Amazing how that works... 😉)

Only 13,544 days until official first contact with the Vulcans. #StarTrek 🖖

I love Murder By Death! Such a great goof on classic detectives.

So they can have leaders that tell them education is elitist and make them feel good about their racism, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia.

Wow...looks like that Democratic Socialism may actually be working.

You know...like it does everywhere they've tried it.

Oh no...
I just realized Daylight "Savings" Time starts this weekend.
My sleep disorders and I hate it with a white-hot passion!

The hardest part
of loving you
is pretending
my heart doesn’t
still reach for you
in places where
you barely
notice I exist.
I love you though
you never once
turned around to
see me standing here,
hands open,
heart already yours.

Poem entitled Spring Comes Again

I haven't posted a Saturday poem in a while, so hears a new one.

The world just keeps getting sadder.

I lost you in the quietest way possible. Without a fight, without a goodbye, just a slow fading of something I still wake up reaching for.

OK, Connecticut...what gives?

I moved here and then you have the coldest winter in years? Plus a blizzard?

I would have been fine with a "Welcome to New England" sign.

Thanks 🙏

Another milestone achieved!
The new poetry book is ready to go to the printer.
Of course, there will also be a digital version.

I used to live in the area where they filmed Harold and Maude. I loved being someplace and suddenly realizing "Oh, this is the place Harold was doing somersaults."

It's one of my all-time favorites. 😁

Agreed. Whether he was starring, or how to supporting role, he was always amazing.

RIP Bud Cort 💔
If you've never seen "Harold and Maude" you must watch it immediately. IMHO, it's one of the greatest love stories ever put on film.

It's hard to imagine a world without Rev. Jesse Jackson in it.
Rest in Power, noble warrior.

Cold settles into the quiet spaces
where you used to be.
Snow gathers on the windowsill
like words you never said.
I reach for you, but only feel
a stretch of winter air.
Nights are heavy with
the weight of your absence.
I miss you most when the world's
white & there's no one left to hold.
