Normal . . .


(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/25/fifty-things-that-are-better-already/) When President Biden [had] not completed his first week in office, already there [was] much to celebrate. . .

Songs . . .



The highest form of tribute
One can offer all day long,
(One like me is what I clearly mean)
Can be never right or wrong.
The reason is, it's personal,
Sentimental, very strong.
Even words can't quite express
The things I tried to in Pam's Song. . .

Bitter . . .

                                                               https://the-bitter-truth.com/bitters/
You never want to have to hear a word from me again.
Never want to have to see my face at your door.
If there's so much as the mention of my name,
You can feel an uncontrollable fit of pain.
I'm the one
That you said
You would love
Til the bitter end.

(Chorus)  
This must really be,
This must really be the end.
Nothing could be fitter.
This must really be,
This must really be the end.
Make no mistake it's bitter.

You never want us to be seen again in public places.
Can't explain it to another friend how it goes.
You say there's torment that you feel inside from many things.
I can tell you that I still don't know what that means.
Long ago,
We were friends,
Far removed
From this bitter end.

There's no candy coating
To make it go down easier.
Not so simple to digest.
No bright colors and no
Exotic flavors sweetening.
What you see is what you get.

You never want to have to hear a word from me again.
Never want to have to see my face at your door.
If there's so much as the mention of my name,
You can feel an uncontrollable fit of pain.
With one fell
Swoop, you sent
Me [direct] 
To the bitter end.

Epilog . . .





When all has been said
About the issues at hand,
Enlightenment, clarity both poised to stand,
One final statement, before we skip along,
Here's a piece of music entitled Epilog.

Privilege . . .

(from Royal Highness by Thomas Mann)
". . . A miserable boyhood, loneliness and exclusion from good fortune and all that good fortune brings, a never-ceasing, imperious call to be up and doing, no fear of getting fat and lazy, one's moral fibre was braced, one could never rest on one's oars, but must be always overhauling and passing others. Could anything be more stimulating, when the hard facts were brought home to one? What a handicap over others who "were not obliged to the same extent! People who could smoke cigars in the morning . . . ."
