Senses . . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdPTh4NTBjk 

Ours is a sensory world
So many sources abound to entice
Still this mortal marathon’s run
The trick’s in 
Pacing yourself
Finishing’s more than the win

Ears to see and eyes to hear
Understand direction where to steer
All the tender subtleties
Every little nuance there
Ears to see and eyes to hear
Super-Sensory powers instilling fear
Better than invisibility
Leaping buildings
Flying high

Noise from all sides all decibels
Arresting every sensation possessed

One step forward 
Two steps back
How much can you take
If doing the same thing over and over
Brings no change
Will you do it once again

I possess no bravery in matters
Any more than anyone else

Justice . . .

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/274953782780

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 
My luck expired.

Otherwise blameless.
Upstanding citizen true.

So exemplary am I.
How upright I stand.
One lie here.
There one little fraud.
I’m just a man.

Lying; tampering; a plea deal.
Polling; disinformation; spike heel.

Recommended sentencing
Was max one score plus five.
Thanks, though, to judge Friend-of-Mine,
I’ll be revived.


Otherwise
from the forthcoming "Grains"

What's Changed? . . .

 

https://tenor.com/search/changing-clothes-gifs

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)
". . . Hamilton's name appeared on a petition that called upon the state legislature to end the New York slave trade and that deplored the plight of blacks exported "like cattle and other articles of commerce. . .". . . This petition was signed by an illustrious cavalcade of dignitaries who would shortly be divided by bitter partisan wrangling over the Constitution and other issues. . . "

How Much? . . .

 

Whenever you call me
And I’m not on the phone,
If you have a problem
And you find me at home,
You know you can
Count on me that much.

If you said you need me,
Just a couple days, I’m there.
I’ll drop what I’m doing
If it’s something I don’t care about
You can count on me that much.

Ours is just like one of those fairytales.
Ours is just like one of those shows. 
One thing bout our love that’s different;
It’s not a love that grows.

I’ll always be with you
When there’s nothing else to do.
When everyone’s busy
There’ll be only me and you.
It’s clear you can count on me that much.

Would you say it’s all you’ve been hoping for?
Would you really prefer something new?
Where else would you get this much
Attention devoted to you?

So don’t think you’re not special.
You’re kind of special to me.
There’s no one else like you.
Well maybe there’s just two or three.
Be sure you can count on me that much.

Chromatose . . .

 

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/music

Much can be said on varied and many
That soothe, cajole or stigmatize.
We search.  We seek
Escapes and diversions
Well to the point of ad nauseam.
Effective though, I seem to find,
The remedy, constant, that comes to mind
Is music, resulting in state that is close
To condition described best
As chromatose.

More . . .

 . . . NFT stuff

https://www.facebook.com/ethereumproject/


(from https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/nov/06/how-nfts-non-fungible-tokens-are-shaking-up-the-art-world) 
". . . Much of what counts for art history consists of flattering portrayals of the rich and powerful, and artists have long been expected to perform what Tom Wolfe called the Art Mating Ritual – attracting the interest of wealthy patrons and conservative institutions, while simultaneously presenting as Bohemians and renegades. Yet with the NFT, the distinction between art and asset seems to have disappeared. . ."
