Insidious
I’m willing to sacrifice myself
to prove the truth
of my words
of meare you willing to do the same?
lies…
in time…
will be uncovered
and everyone will seethe scuttling
ear to ear
insidiously whispering
it will be seenI have never changed
eventually they’ll know
and perhaps remember
but it will be too…Read More![Profile Photo]()

The idea that one person’s “right or wrong” should apply to all is absolute arrogance. And the thought that disagreement on concept or friend choice should be cause for attack is insane. Differences are what we’re made of, it’s what makes us beautiful as a human ra e, and it’s our greatest strength…if we embrace them with love. To turn on others…Read More

The Louvre, the Funhouse, the Disco
April 24th arrives
already half‑forgotten,
like a dream you try to hold
but it keeps slipping
through the fingers of your mind.It brings with it
a fading memory
of the main room
of the Louvre…
not the paintings,
not the tourists,
not the velvet ropes,
but the room itself:
its b…Read More![Profile Photo]()

Hello Me
It has been a while
You reached a plateau

Is see what is occurring around youOr you’re choosing not
Not to see
Not to hear
Not to “oh my” share??Me this can not be

Free from the confines
Of societies vines…Read More2 Comments-

F*ck the Game
anyone could tell you
I was never a raving beauty
even my family would agreetoo many freckles
not enough oomph
that indefinable thing
(whatever it was)
that made other girls stunningthink of them as Barbies
and me…a paper doll
not much without all the added extras
and even they left details…Read More2 Comments-

The Multicolored Vision of an Impossible Insect
April 23rd opens its eyes
in multiple colors at once.
Not a spectrum,
not a rainbow,
but a fractured prism
held together by the trembling wings
of an insect
that should not exist
and yet insists on doing so.This creature,
half mosquito,
half fly,
half something else…Read More![Profile Photo]()

I think that perhaps the question might be, do they have a conscious to listen to?? Often the conscious is suppressed by the ego of self, and thinking that self is the be all and end all of everything. Hell, it’s even written into the Constitution… ‘the pursuit of happiness’. My happiness versus your happiness. What an “insidious” way to live!!…Read More
