Things That Cross. . .

. . . the mind. . .


. . . Awhile back, when my songwriting was more prolific (by choice- not by inspiration), intentionally for educational purposes, I wrote a song about one of the most frivolous topics of which one could write a song. Simply titled "Butter",  the lyrics rationalized the act of throwing the leftover breakfast toast out on the lawn for the birds. Below is a fragment of the melody of the song, sans lyrics, as it turned out to be, in my view, a catchy tune with much potential for improvisation. . .

False Sense . . .

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-trumps-doctor-okay/2018/01/17/0d887f50-fbce-11e7-ad8c-ecbb62019393_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-e%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.404d0acc0244)
". . . (Bandy X. Lee, the Yale Medical School psychiatrist) said the screening test (Rear Adm. Ronny) Jackson gave Trump “gives the public a false sense of reassurance.” Indeed, Donald Trump Jr. used the results of the test in a tweet: “More #winning. 30 out of 30.” . . . She said the test, though useful for detecting Alzheimer’s and the like, indicates little about “his high functioning, his frontal-lobe functioning, that we’re questioning.” To figure out what causes the worrisome traits President Trump exhibits — disordered decision-making, an insatiable need for affirmation, little impulse control, confusion about facts, difficulty foreseeing consequences — you’d need more extensive tests, a psychological exam and an MRI. . .

Idiosyncratic . . .

What do I know about happiness
Do I possess some kind of key
To things that no one else can see

Just as far back as my memory goes
Sometimes it seemed I was alone
Only my point of view and me

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Others speak out very easily
No fear about who may get hurt
By words so hastily dispensed

For some reason I step back away
I hesitate to be so bold as to
Presume some insight gained

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique


Unique
