The Great Wake 13: Like Crickets


The readers on the news are shoveling it, the scripts are full of bullshit.  Serve it up without shame, hold your nose at first, eventually you'll get used to it.  A bit gamey, but it does the job, it fills the brain, it tastes fine after a while.  Like crickets, like slugs, like bats--eat up.  Wipe your chin off with your t-shirt, napkins are in short supply.


Get in on the inside, the scenes are horrible, like an apocalypse movie.  The political readers can't even read, the PowerPoint decks are out of order.  Russia is invading Russia.  The words they read makes no sense, they are suppling chains for the big yanking.  They don't care about your grandchildren's grandchildren, they don't care about Ukrainian children or Urkainian women or Ukrainian men.

Sanctions, cackle, refugees, cackle, planes, cackle, hospital explosions, cackle, insider trading, cackle, icebergs, cackle, next slide, cackle.  Walk like an Egyptian, let my people go.  Roadtrip summer, America!  Hit the beaches, take RVs around the country, visit National Parks, visit State Parks, mountains, lakes, drive, drive, drive.  Oh, nevermind.

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
