Day: January 23, 2020

Here I sit again
Resting
Snow removal finished
A big job
Very strenuous
Even with snow-blower
Worked over an hour
Then parked the machine
Filled it with gasoline
Easier now than in
the midst of a blizzard
Placed my heater to melt
the snow in the auger area
Then covered the machine
with a canvas tarp and weighted
the tarp with pieces of wood
 
Now I sit, thankful
Nature came
Snow came
Wind came
I cleaned up what was necessary
The surrounding area is magnificent
Beauty beyond our ability to describe
The lake looks almost white
Lots of ice and icy-mush
Two more months until spring
Then one or two more months of winter
That is how it is in God’s country
A kind of give and take thing
Nothing is for sure
 
Life is that way
We are just a speck in time
Here today, gone tomorrow
What did we do?
Did we have a positive affect?
Will people miss us?
Does it even matter?
We know who we are
What else could matter?
What is, is

I have nowhere to go
No one to be with
Good thing too
We drank too much
But my show was good
It’s getting better
There’s slander on the table
Screw that we said nothing
Need another gig
They’ll be crying for you
You sure?  It’s inevitable
Merry-go-round
Riding is fun
Especially with booze
And the right pony
Can I ask you something?
Am I the guy?
I don’t know
But you’ll do for now
Prove it, walk this way
It’s tough backwards
You’re doing fine
Let’s get back together
What about the church
You are the best
Start wearing purple
What will your parents say?
Screw them
But it’s their house
They’ll understand
It’s better than the apartment
Never said I’m sorry, did I
Is this part of life?
Can we start over?
I should have brought flowers
You usually do. What can I do?
I love you
Tell me what you want
Just you is my best answer
Oh to have a camera now
Man do you have some moves
Should try out for the Yankees

I am so tired
So much absurdity
How can people think
the way that they do?
 
I know the news:  CNN,
MSNBC, CBS, NBC, PBS,
ABC and the rest
The New York Times,
Washington Post
and others
 
Spew out what they
want you to believe
and so many times
these are the sources
and people do believe
even when lies are told
That sound like truth
 
The discovery of the
evil of one and the
sainthood of another
sounds so good.
Hard to disavow
 
Then when the truth
Is told in other sources
It is denied and scourged
There is no winning for
foolishness leads to
victim-hood
 
All of the promises
Were they kept?
Has life improved?
Self-esteem depends
on remaining attached
 
We’ll get our chance
then can show them 
In the meantime
We will impeach

Newspaper
Rolled up
With rubber band
Not to be read
Just to lie there
Until needed
To swat something
Or someone
Maybe just throw away
 
Contained news
Already old
Before even printed
New age
New way
 
Old days
And ways
Still tug
Too early
Won’t give up
Completely
At least not until
New swatter item found
