AROUN MIDNIGHT …

I was a paper delivery boy, early morning, Los Angeles Times. I’d read there would be a test in Nevada, and that it would be visible in Los Angeles. The scheduled date of the test did not occur. The wind conditions precluded detonation, as the weather conditions also postponed the detonation again. I’d forgotten about the matter, as a 4 a.m. rising time, to fold papers, stuff them in a bag and make deliveries, contemplating not being late for school, was on my mind. In the dead of night, the darkest part of day, before Sunrise, the sky lit up, brighter than a noonday. No clouds. No Sun. I turn abound two times and could not see the Sun. Animals went crazy with sounds of barking and tweeting. Terrified, I finished my route as quickly as I could, rode home as quickly as I could. Jumped in bed, covered my face.

Later … I was told there were complaints from customers: they hadn’t received their morning paper. I still don’t know why. In my mind, I had completed the route and thrown all the papers to the subscribers. To this day, I wonder what really happened.

Later, after finishing law school and working for poor people at the Legal Aid Society of Santa Clara County, I had a dream. A plane … a bomb … the light of an explosion blinded me. I awoke shaking, terrified again … just like had been there … and today I found the answer to my reality and existence … and truth.

2 MINUTES | TICKING DOWN

DisUnited States, ticking clock, ticking down around the dock
DisUnited SSR, Idiot killer quite the stock
DisEnfranched, so despised
DisArrayed, miltary guise
Nothing better left to do
DisEmbodied human stew
DisEmboweled nation-state
Destroyed in human
Waste

Tell me if it’s not to late
Peace is leader’s bacon
Bait

All I see is irrational
Hate

INSIGHT

Grappling with my inner nature: personal avoidance of attention. Birthday … should not be my tribute, but that of those who conceived me. And, their loss and absence is what grieves me. Believe me, not happiness of my being but sadness of the leavings in my grieving.

Love to you, Mother and Father. Happy that I knew your love, and it it grew.

Stealing

The main act cannot complain that the show was “stolen” when the opening act is simply BETTER! Just like the named star can’t whine and complain upstaging because another actor played their role better. Well, maybe that overstates the fact.

Whining and crying “cheater” may rationalize the steal. But, it is just as easy to rationalize the loss was due to the inability of the star to learn and deliver the lines the script demanded. Thus, upstaged!

Let me be clear: The ex-president allowed the election to be “stole” because the president was simply upstaged, muffed the lines and failed to play the character the role demanded — with truth, honesty and integrity. Period!

Next!

i see … said the blinkman …

T’was … Bannon … Jordan … Trump … and their ilk … speaking in snaked tongues of silk: Destroyed the United States of America in their united takes to snake care of ya!

Let it be … that i see … ’tis not a part of me

Of thee i sing

UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

The Supreme Jokort … (“joke-court”) doesn’t even realize that the law is, on its face, unconstitutional. That’s not because of Roe v. Wade. It’s because Texas taxes citizens and residents of another state, when they’ve done nothing in Texas and are without contacts with Texas. It’s called an “Interstate Commerce” violation. And, Texas has NO right to impose burdens on another state for which Texas does not pay. And, then, there’s the due process and equal protection of the law, at the tail end of the dialog. And, let’s not forget vexatious litigation. Or, how about lack of privity, assuming some sort of social contract. And, what possible standing does anyone have with regard to all of the conceptions that have not occurred? I don’t get it. Or, what standing does anyone have with regard to an impregnation with which he or she was not involved, directly or indirectly. Sorry, I don’t get it. Free to not get vaccinated, based on personal preference of one’s own body … even if it affects another. Yet, free to sue someone else based on who does get pregnant, knowingly or unknowingly, and decides to not bring a human being into existence based on their action … or even the action of another that’s opposed to their intention. I just can’t connect the dots.

Fairness doesn’t mean inequality is legal.
