". . . "GOP Senators may vote to acquit, but there is something truly cleansing to the national conscience to see Adam Schiff walk into their chamber and shove a full dose of truth down their throats before they do," former Rep. David Jolly, who served as a Republican from Florida, wrote on Twitter. . .?

More . . .

. . . drama . . .

Caught in the the crosshairs
Of my poison-dart, marauding rifle
But then what can a body do?
‘You’re not the man you used to be’
You say with certain relish
But then again you’re here with me
And though you surely cannot hide
You’ll try to run for certain
And I will follow where you go
As we perpetuate the dance
We’ve done through all the ages
Ours is much more than just a show

Bought my ticket
Took time off for
The drama of life
Front row orchestra
Tux, tails just for
The drama of life

Some choose their circumstances
With a dearth of careful thinking
Some can’t make any choice at all
But all the options must be weighed
Outcomes evaluated
And for some flavor add some salt

Take an intermission
Look at what you’re missing

It’s not a natural
Or a simple kind of undertaking
Half-heartedness won’t make it so
To rise above self-serving vanities
Makes all the difference
Sometimes that’s all you need to know

Fine . . .

. . . line

It’s a fine line I walk
Between here and insanity
It’s a fine line
Like a good wine some care
And some love must be taken and given
Like a good wine
I don’t know where it’s gonna come from
I only know that when it gets here
I may care or I may not
It just depends upon which side
Of the line that I’m on

When it’s my time I want
To be free of these cares and these worries
When it’s my time
I don’t when that’s gonna happen
Not really sure I want it happening
Any time real soon
It just depends upon which seat
That I take in the room

Do I really know what I’m asking?
You tell me I’m thinking too much
How can someone question the feelings
You haven’t allowed them to touch?

When will I find the things
That I’ve searched all this valuable time for?
When will I find
Just a thin dime will I take
For a glimpse of the depths of my soul
Just a thin dime
It’s not exorbitant to ask for
It’s one small price to have to pay
To get a piece of someone’s life
A good investment I can say
Because I know that it’s mine
It’s a fine line


Fine Line

Aren't We All . . .

. . . otherwise blameless?



Foreclosing on widows homes
Is one thing I’ve not done
But if truth be told
That’s only one
The life that I led before
Left nothing to be desired
High on the hog
Until I was undone

Otherwise blameless
Upstanding citizen true

Otherwise

Advancing . . .

With advancement of time
And preferably some wisdom
I have learned to relax; feel less stress
Play the system

There are no extra people
To fawn or to please
I've become my own man
Life I now cope with considerable ease

But good things come, they say,
Each with price all their own
And the progress of years
Bringing things of seeds sown

I prefer though, to remain
On the bright and offensive
Taking tacks realistic
Yet inconveniently extensive

Staying . . .

. . . Well



Of poetry, I know not much
Of life, I've learned a little
I don't profess an expert be
In politics, left, right or middle

Mechanics of most any sort
Don't operate quite rightly
No matter how sincere I try
Results I take not lightly

In love, my fortune great indeed
The reasons not apparent
My find, I treasure constantly
Of indefinite fidelity I truly am declarant

And for the icing on the cake
As by the sea I dwell
The music that I hear and make
sustains and keeps me well


At Once

Ahora . . .

by Gerhard Richter

(from For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway)
". . . So if your life trades its seventy years for seventy hours I have that value now and I am lucky enough to know it. And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it. Now, ahora, maintenant, heute. Now, it has a funny sound to be a whole world and your life. Esta noche, tonight, ce soir, heute abend. . . "


Ahora ('in-progress' Excerpt)

The Place . . .

. . . we have reached

The recent funeral services (and accompanying media coverage) for U.S. Senator John McCain, were respectful, appreciative and seemingly non-partisan. 'Seemingly' is the operative word here. Many sources are available that question McCain's actual patriotism, bravery and present contradictions in the details of his life(the devastating fire and explosions that killed 134 sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War). I have always felt that death brings out the most generous forgiveness in we humans; take for example the demise of both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. 

We can only imagine the 'heartfelt' tributes that will accompany the passing of Henry Kissinger. This can be interpreted as either good or bad. We are each, individually entitled to select those that we admire and choose to remember in longingly reverent fashion. I do however wish that the media would cover the past lives of public figures as actual news stories (i.e., presentations of factual information about accomplishments as well as failures) and not as fawning tributes to the deceased which disregard the latters' humanity, both good and bad.

Merciless . . .

Merciless death strikes conclusively
True, many view it as the beginning
Of a new, 'eternal life' of some sort
But no matter how you slice it
Death makes life miserable
For those that survive
At least in the short term


Merciless

Bittersweet . . .

Bad with the good
That's the way that we should
Take what comes in this life

It isn't the easiest thing that we do
Resigning oneself
Like there's nothing in lieu

But the race must continue
And alternatives few
Or just not quite desirable

Bruises . . .

Bruises received
Are never acceptable
Inflicted by life though
Can be bad or good
Tacky to flaunt them
But sometimes they seem
A well-needed lesson
Be it small or extreme

Soul . . .

“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just, and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.”
— attributed to Plato

My Head . . .

. . . or more specifically, the contents therein, provide me with a wealth of entertainment. Musing on the past, present, life, death, the world, the country . . . it's endless.  Today, for some reason, the past took front and center, and monopolized the activities of the grey matter for a portion of the early morning hours. The past and my place in it and the person I was in that place back then would pretty much sum it up. I was timid, unsure. So many personalities come to mind; personalities that I envied for your sheer joy, their fearlessness, their humor and their confidence. Then I wonder, where are they now?  What are they like now?  Are they still joyful, fearless, funny and confident?

Not So Much. . .

. . . a regret, but simply an observation . . .


Things imagined
Things desired
Youth's imagination
From so countless
Directions fired

But life is truly
Not one taken lightly
So gravity inevitably
Exercises its option
Sometimes not so slighly

And dreams
Although good
Must be relegated
Back further in the queue
Relinquishing where it formerly stood

As the end fast approaching
Wants to now get acquainted
and the years have provided
Many lessons to mull
Seems that life is quite good
When you're proud of your choices
But the brain can't help ponder
Each leap and each lull


Heart Purge Two
