Here is the thing about old liberals, we don't care. We are unafraid. We say what is on our minds, speak the truth.

The turkey is in. Didn't have an orange or an onion, so I stuffed it with fresh carrots. Also, I am baked at the moment and through the night.

Pissing Off Nature

Sittin here drunk
She's snoring
Even the owls
Are complaining
Their combined "Who, who"
resonates with every snort
Her grumble flowing
In audible syncopation
I can't remember
Why she is here
But then when the elf

In today's news, rebrand. Donald Trump has renamed the Kennedy Center to The Donald J Trump Kennedy Center and is also talking about having a new line of naval war vessels named after him.

Santa Likes To Party

Santa likes to party
Yeho and such
Smoke the ganja
With enthusiasm
Fly while dodging lit
Then devouring cookies
How do you think
He eats them all
No one likes 10,000 cookies

It takes a certain sense of independence to write poetry. Hell to write anything. We are raised and taught to ignore creativity. That dog goes nowhere. So many accept that and continue on. I never did.

So yesterday I was suspended on Facebook for making light of Trump's upcoming dissolution from this sphere and making suggestions as to where to send the body for worship or abuse. I did a bad thing.

Playing

It's mid-afternoon
The grit has worked its way
From the bottom
Of my shorts
To just under my balls
Irritating more than incapacitating

The midday sun
Dangles its heat
Across my body
In complex waves
Fighting to stop my breathing
Or swell my brain

Mr.Trump today tried to block American Sign Language interpreters at all White House press briefings. He stated he was afraid it they would make him look bad. They could be signing anything. They could be passing their woke agenda along without anyone knowing.

Waxing

I am going to wax...poetic
Give credence to my grief
Paint impossibly clear
The pain I feel every day
The loss of years
Of joy stolen
Not by time, circumstance
But by me
By things traded for other choices
plans made by thinking three moves ahead

Today, Trump signed an executive order aimed at helping him lose weight. Grubhub will no longer deliver to the White House. Steven Miller expanded his statement to deport those not benefiting America. In a surprise announcement, he deported the entire NY Jets football team.

God Damn Us

God Damn those
Who would hold me down
Drive their spikes
Of reality through
My mind
Define me without thought
Of who I REALLY AM

God Damn those
Who decide our fates
Drawn up the seams
Hemming us into their
Thought
Never seeing, tasting
The world we see

Some Days

Some days
I can still smell
The scent of youth
The smell of hope
The naive belief
Of fairness
Of effort being kind
Not ignored
Left swaying in a wave
Of uncaring discard
I hear the words

So I was listening to an electrical company executive trying to justify why the new data centers, which use massive amounts of electricity, are being offered a lower rate of payment than San Antonio citizens.
