I am not some peaceable ***-smoking hippy,
Or a hard-core punk inclined to rage away.
Similarly not a broker, with no share of a real trade
Or a developer of putrid estates
Different from some disaffected political nutcase
Radical revolutionary, only in the way
That I still have hopes for change

When, I cut on my music to play?
It is that old style country sounds.
Nothing these country rock style artists with the rock guitars know.

In my truck
I might be listening to Buck(Buck Owens)
Or Conway (Conway Twitty)
I just believe that style and sound was so pretty.

Then, if I am at home?
It might be Johnny (Cash)
Or those original brothers -(Statlers)
Nothing against these rock style country stars. (with the roc guitars)

Give me Lynn(Loretta) or (Anderson).
I might throw in Tammy (Wynette)
And that lady with those pretty eyes called Barbara Mandrell

Then, who can't listen to Willie?
No last name needed.
Yes, I'm old-style country and guess I always be.

And I have nothing to hide just like Charley Pride.
Okay, I might have a taste for a little George Strait and Allan Jackson.
They remind me of that old style country passion.

Dispatches for the Colonial Office

                   But Mom, All the Cool Kids are into Genocide!

                       “Students! Be the Fuhrer’s Propagandists!”

          **** poster ca. 1933, per Library of Congress: [Studenten seid
          Propagandisten des Führers Hoch-u. Fachschulen bekennen
          sich am 29. März zur Deutschen Freiheitsbewegung /
          (loc.gov)]

All the cool kids are into genocide
Slogans and posters and bullhorns and cries
Abandoning their studies to march outside
And scream the same 2,000-year-old lies

The InterGossip commands, and they obey
Blocking the streets and clenching each fist
Waving misspelt signs and yelling all day
Never pausing to ask if there’s something they’ve missed

Am I a hollow echo for some sycophant’s squall?
Will I fail to think for myself at all?
Think. Don't obey. Think.

               How to Review a War Movie Without Saying Anything

First, copy out the same old filler words
You’ve read in almost every film review:


Glued to your seat edge of your seat action-packed
All-star cast powerful and moving iconic
Must-see intense cult classic gripping scenes
Gritty realism classic cinema

Haunting intense unforgettable thrilling
Sweeping raw emotion (as opposed to
Cooked emotion) unflinching essential
Stark visuals overwhelming odds intense

Stunning cinematography powerful
Unflinching acclaimed devastating action-adventure
Action-thriller infiltrate timeless story
Treacherous powerful performances


Then stir the words into a metaphorical soup
And let them crawl weakly across the screen
And die

                                           All the President’s Mob

Sedition batters past the capitol police -
As Congress, sweet harmless Merovingians,
Arming from a thesaurus of pomposity
Meet the attempted coup with lofty words

While hidden far away, lurking unseen
Our Leader screams into his telescreen
Moving his dementia along the Potomac:
Glorifying himself in the highest

Our government, cowering on the floor
Maintains that it will not be intimidated

Always a believer
Always hopeful
That there are intelligent beings somewhere
Out there
In the universe.
Because clearly there are none here.
We are simple.
Neanderthals.
All of us.
Mouth-breathers and dinosaur bashers.
Simple.  So simple.

A muse is like the most beautiful woman.
When she comes to you,
Desiring to make love,
You best make yourself ready.

She doesn’t come for anyone.
She needs to know that you desire her,
She needs to be wooed.

A  muse will love you like no other,
But only if you do the work.

Don’t buy her flowers,
She doesn’t need those.
Don’t cook for her,
Don’t take her to the movies,
Or to the park, or to a place of wonder.

She needs but one thing,
For you to give her your all.

She ******* only if you
Move your fingers in the right way,
Only if you reach that rhythm,
Only if you paint that picture,
Only if you dance that way,
Only if you give her your mind,
Your heart, your body,
And your soul.
And when she ****,
The world becomes beauty.

When your muse reaches her ******,
Your fingers move with the speed of Hermes,
Your heart beats with the strength of Hercules,
Your creations shine with the beauty of Afrodite,
And your body thrums with her release.

There is nothing more ******,
More liberating, more all-consuming,
Than making love to your muse,
For when she oozes pleasure upon you,
It is not your *** that moves her,
But your desire to write,
to dance,
to sing,
to paint,
to act,
to perform the art that is HER.
