Dragon Flies (Haiku)
Over the holidays, I was watching Lisa’s sister little Leeza, she’s 14. She has a rebellious fashion sense and a joyful innocence. She’s still fearless too, and on-God, I hope she never loses that. Too soon though—the disco’s coming to town—the world’s coming for her. It’s the same for all of us, I suppose, but in Lisa and my cases, covid shut it all down. It’s a rite of passage—the shoes, the bodycon dresses and the makeup. Those carry negative connotations, I get it, but there’s an excitement too, about finally getting to dress like an adult—a woman—in one of those bodycon, cut-out dresses. I know the pressures on women and their bodies, but at her age, it's not all stress, cattiness and comparisons—it’s just innocent teen fun. She and her posse can take hours just dressing and doing their make-up—together. It’s probably the best part of their night. Leeza’s dad (Michael) saw the little group of teens, all dolled-up and launched, like a SpaceX Starship. Pacing the living room, he quietly opined to Karen (her mom), “I don’t want her going out dressed like that.” Karen was right there with him to cool things down, “No, *** at her age, it’s about self-expression, learning and girl bonding—these connections are really important in the girl-world.” I’m not worried about Leeza’s physical safety. These girls are watched over and gently curated. Their every movement is orchestrated and security escorted—hell, Hamas couldn’t get to them—much less some gropey boy. There’s just this new awareness these days of how unhappy some people are—and a lot of them are teen girls. I wouldn’t want to see Leeza mired in the sad, brain-draining social media pressure and self-esteem traps. Teenhood is scary—I was feelin’ positively parental. Then I looked at Lisa, and I was reminded that they’ve done all this before, and she has a big-sister, role-model too. . . Songs for this: Good Time Girl (feat. Charlie Barker) by Sofi Tukker Dance To This (feat. Ariana Grande) by Troye Sivan

It’s the billionaire’s coup–Trump, Putin and Musk. They’re bleeding us out, from dawn until dusk. Consumer protections, arts, farms, forestry– the billionaires say they’re not necessary. From the money they save, the tax cuts will come to the billionaires, the millionaires, their daughters and sons. Balance the budget, so they can all have some. So many workers deemed useless and lazy, such as nuclear engineers–whoops! Are they crazy? Shredding all of Congress’s appropriations and thumbing their noses at all other nations. Except Putin’s, because, he’s one of them-- the billionaire’s club of rich white old men, who share dreams of ransacking the whole world, entire, until all of it ends in storms, floods and fire. Then off via SpaceX past the Milky Way’s limits. No, that’s not possible. But deep down they’re dimwits. You can fool some of us, all of the time, You can’t fool us all, and I’ll end this rhyme: We’ll protest, we’ll sue, we’ll go out on strikes. And if the time comes–their heads stuck on pikes.

The Billionaire's Coup
Like the back of a cart during the bubonic plague, I’d have to say a dead mans story is long, But very vague, As we learn little from the lessons of history, We treat is as an obsolete and unsaid sort of mystery. The difference between black and white, A bird in seat or flight, A tense and dangerous human right, As if as much as we can see, Is the boundary of our site; If we treat each other as we would like to be treated; Why does a teacher tell us to remain seated? They don’t say sit back and relax in any context, Instead they emphasize not to use bad words or obscene text. Am I not allowed to tell you to sit down? Tell you I owe you nothing but a respectable frown? I owe you nothing but decency, Not a mind filled with verbs in which I hope others translate boundlessly. To say I sleep with a pillow, Is like saying I steep tea like I reap benefits from the luxuries, Of today’s modern cars and inventions. To assume I immorally influence a young child in growth, Is like assuming I don’t walk the sidewalk to remain safe, From the wind of wild traffic to my left and to my right, Or to say we don’t disobey ancient conventions, In which mankind is barred from flight. Between SpaceX and NASDAQ, And the jealous old man named NASA, “Good Wall Street” ain’t looked at, As the media keeps its mind where its eyes remain fixed; On the flaws and the findings, The wars and the signings, The fear of dead children whose pics we find blinding. The new Rules of Engagement, Angers militaristics in danger, Of bullets and shrapnel they volunteered to go face; They are angry at the awareness created by J. Assange, When ****** was collateral damage, to which they are fond; It’s strange, as truth is now treason, And a man needs a reason, To liberate information we deserved in the first place, Yet our apathy, indifference, and anger at ourselves, Commits us to a stage of denial within book-shelves, Inside which we fear ‘it,’ We fear ‘them,’ And ‘their’ **** Yet we hallow the ground in our mind in which we hide action; For we fear that we’ll be charged for our thinking’s infractions. Please reassure me that I’m free, And that I am my own faction.

Today I made dinner for my family and there was a huge scurry to rush to the hospital because someone got an alarming call and I wasn’t told what it was about. But there were lots of dishes left over. Usually my grandfather is the one who does them because he thought ketchup was a viable replacement for tomato paste and my family is known for our excellent cooking. He left to the hospital before anyone else so I decided to do the dishes because they were there. My grandma noticed before she left and said I was a lot like my grandfather. I never really thought of it before but I suppose we are a lot alike. He used to be energetic and full of life before being drafted to be a medic for the military. He’s now a lot quieter but very witty. Tired all the time. Once in awhile he talks a lot and tells stories and cracks jokes. He’s the most humble person I know, too. He worked on a Spacex for NASA but you’d never know if you didn’t ask. He’s been through a lot of bad things in his life but it doesn’t /show/. If you see him he just look like an average old man but he has a very gentle soul. Even though he doesn’t seem phased he cares deeply. His natural instinct is to take care of everyone. The difference between us is he’s held on dearly to his faith. I don’t know how to do that with my god. I’m very angry and tired and want to be as gentle as him. But it touched my heart to hear that I resemble even a small light of him.

Nobody Saw this coming In unison they begin All media nose a joint Same talking points Teslas are burning Obscenities churning Bullhorns are turning Domestic terrorist Molotov cocktail Concerted effort In the streets Citizens last To speak Destruction without missing a beat 11 states thus far, drum beats fire heats. Destroying Tesla Buildings and Cars Private information Public made known Hacking systems they condone Targeting Tesla owners destroy Terrorist  play games power decoy Elon Guilty by association Trump Elon Works free, SpaceX DOGE astronaut’s home no reprieve He exposed their ***** secrets American citizens believe truth No longer can they hide uncouth What was hid is now openly known Foot notes I tried to make a picture of a face and body in a sitting position. I think I captured the face pretty well the perfect protruding nose . just like a government official their nose in everybody’s business.
