(004)▪︎[ A True Politician … 1•3•2023 ]

[ Show Me An Honest Politician & I Will Show You An Illusion ]
[ If It Is A True Politician ]
[ They Wouldn’t Mind The Intrusion ]

[ The Only Time That They Tell The Truth ]
[ Is When They Step, Into The Voting Booth ]

[ & Then Vote For Themself ]
[ But Not, For Anyone Else ]

[ They Only Worry About One ]
[ After That, They Are Done ]

[ They Will Shake Your Hand, While Taking Your Wallet ]
[ Out Of Your Back Pocket ]

[ They Are So Fast ]
[ You Will Make A Donation ]
[ Without Being Asked ]

[ They Learned To Campaign @ A Very Early Age ]
[ When They Were Young, Their Parents Thought That It Was All
A Phase ]

[ First They Play Things Cool ]
[ By Running For Class President ]
[ During Their Senior Year In High School ]

[ When They Are Out Of School, They Run For Mayor, Of Their Tiny, Little City ]
[ People Think That They Are Good Looking ]
[ & Quite Whitty ]

[ Is Their Goal The Capital Of Their State? ]
[ That Just Seems, Like A Swinging Gate ]

[ Their Ultimate Goal, Is To Serve Their State, By Being @ The White House ]
[ They Know That A Divorced Politician Does Not Look Good ]
[ That Is The Only Reason, They Stay Married To Their Spouse ]

[ They Do Not Really Want To Work, A Mainstream Position ]
[ Asking Them To Get A Job ]
[ Would Be Like Telling Them, To Wash The Dishes ]

[ It Would Be A Good Bet ]
[ That They Would Complain, It Is Below Their Skill-Set ]

[ Most Politicians Know How To Do The Dance ]
[ Of Arrogance ]

[ They Walk Around Thinking That They Have The Election In The Bag ]
[ They Were Way Too Optimistic ]
[ Because The Move Was Way Before They Were Tagged ]

[ They Think That They Can Always Win, Because Of Their Name ]
[ Or Brand ]
[ They Forgot How To Play The Game ]
[ They Did Not Shake The Correct Hand ]

[ The Politician Must Learn The Art Of Hand Shaking ]
[ Just Like A New Chef ]
[ They Must Learn The Art Of Pastry Baking ]

[ They Are Always On The Campaign Trail ]
[ That Is The Reason For All Of The Political Mail ]

[ That Over Flows Your Mailboxes Everyday ]
[ You Wish That You Could Put A Stop To It ]
[ But The Junk Mail Always Finds A Way ]

[ To Your Address ]
[ Collecting On Your Counter ]
[ Causing Quite The Mess ]

[ Usually A Career Politician Plays It Down To The Wire ]
[ Most Of The Time They Die ]
[ Before They Ever Thought To Retire ]

(005)▪︎[ What Do You Think? … 1•4•2023 ]

[ Do You Ever Really Wonder How Your Brain Thinks ]
[ (YOU HAVE NO IDEA! ) You’d Say ]
[ With A Chuckle & 2 Winks ]

[ Oftentimes Thoughts Come Into Your Head & Will Stay ]
[ Then It Tells You Exactly What It Wants To Say ]

[ Sometimes You Should Go Left But Your Thoughts Turn Right ]
[ Then Your Hand Shows You What Is What ]
[ As Your Stylus Shows You What It Wants To Write ]

[ Part Of You Doesn’t Know What’s Going On ]
[ You Can’t Figure Out Where It’s Going ]
[ But You Can See How Far It’s Gone ]

[ You Have No Idea If You Made Your Point Strong ]
[ Or Do You Figure Out That What You Just Wrote ]
[ Was Completely Wrong ]

[ But You Write About Your Thoughts ]
[ You Never Said That You Were Seeing Spots ]
[ Or Dots ]

[ Your Stylus Goes Wherever It Wants To Go ]
[ Whenever You Start ]
[ You Just Won’t Know ]

[ If You Go In That Direction ]
[ Will That Be Correct ]
[ Or Will You Need To Make A Correction? ]
[ That Seems More Direct? ]

[ You Can’t Go Backwards But You Can Delete ]
[ That Does Not Mean That You Are Giving Up ]
[ & Feel The Sting Of Defeat ]

[ It Is Just Because Your Thought Wants To Go That Way ]
[ You Will Need To Save That Other Thought ]
[ For A Different Day ]

[ But If You Try To Save It, You Will Bet ]
[ That A Different Thought Will Come In ]
[ Than That Will Make You Forget ]
[ When A Thought Begins ]
[ You Must Stay Set ]

[ Sometimes Thoughts Just Float On By ]
[ No Time For A Cup Of Coffee ]
[ No Time To Say (HI) ]

[ Maybe That Thought Will Come To You @ A Different Time ]
[ Leading Your Stylus To Write A Totally Different Story That
Rhymes ]

[ Every Day Is A New Day In Your Crazy Mind ]
[ But Will It Be The Lazy Kind? ]

[ When Your Thoughts Are Like Jello ]
[ They Take Only A Minutes Of Rest ]
[ Before They Say (HELLO) ]

[ Than Just Like That, They Float On By ]
[ & You Figured That Out A Long Time Ago ]
[ So You Should Not Ask (WHY?) ]

(105)▪︎[ Seems Plausible … 2•25•2023 ]

[ She Says That She Is Confused By What You Say ]
[ Has She Been This Confused The Whole Day? ]

[ You Talk About Simple Things ]
[ Is She Living In Fantasy Land? ]
[ Where She Is Waiting For Her Prince Charming & (3) Kings? ]

[ Her Mind Has Not Been In The Same Room Since You Don’t
When ]
[ She Comes Into The Room, Blinks Twice & Then? ]

[ Loses Her Ability To Concentrate ]
[ @ This Time & Place ]
[ She Would Not Be A Good Teammate ]

[ You Always Hope That Her Confused Brain Will Tell Her Body
That She Must Breathe ]
[ You Wish That A Long Time Ago ]
[ Her Brain Would Have Told Her That She Must Leave ]

[ Jon Was A Threat To Your Marriage In So Many Ways ]
[ It Still Has A Grip On Her On Most Days ]

[ She Says That She Does Not Think Of Him ]
[ The Prospect Of That Happening Are Pretty Slim ]

[ As Slim As An Empty Note Pad ]
[ She Still Wishes She Could Have ]
[ What She Had ]

[ Was He Older Than Her ]
[ Or Were They Around The Same Age? ]
[ That Did Not Seem To Matter ]
[ That, You Are Sure ]

[ How Exactly Does She Think That She Would Ever Get Him Off
Of Her Mind ]
[ She Is Not The Forgetful Kind ]

[ It Is Laughable How She Goes Back Forth ]
[ One Day It Was An Affair, Another Day He Was Just A Friend ]
[ That Would Be Like You Are Going South, But Then You Headed
North ]

[ All Of That Caused Her To Cringe ]
[ Then It Seemed Like She Came Unhinged ]

[ They Say That Most Affairs Break Down Their Partner’s Trust ]
[ That Seems To Be Why Some Marriages Bust ]
[ Maybe Because The Affair Was Built On Lust ]

[ The Couple Should Go To Marriage Counseling As Fast As
Humanly Possible ]
[ Could The Marriage Be Saved? ]
[ That Seems Very Plausible ]

(032)▪︎[ A Second Stop … 1•12•2023 ]

[ Pacific City Was The Second Stop ]
[ The First Was Burger King ]
[ So You Could Get A Couple Sandwiches & A Pop ]

[ The Sand Seemed To Be Never Ending ]
[ Then Bending ]

[ Around The Corner Of The Water ]
[ The Air Was Cool Enough ]
[ Without The Need To Be Any Hotter ]

[ There Were Clusters Of Clouds Here & There ]
[ We Walked On The Sand ]
[ Without A Concern In The Air ]

[ Or A Single Worry On Your Mind ]
[ @ Least ]
[ Not The Concerning Kind ]

[ Then It Was Off To The Sands Lake Recreational Area Spot ]
[ We Found It Closed ]
[ & When We Looked On The Map ]
[ It Was Just Another Dot ]

[ Anderson View Point Had Quite The View ]
[ & The Scenery Was So Beautiful Too ]

[ Then It Was Quite The Drive ]
[ To Oceanside ]

[ We Took Some Selfie’s Of Ourselves ]
[ Because We Didn’t Want To Take A Picture ]
[ Of Anyone Else ]

[ Now We Are Off ]
[ To See The Lighthouse ]
[ Up On Top ]

[ The Old Oregon Smokehouse Seafood Market Was Where
We Stopped & Ate ]
[ & The Fish -n Chips Tasted Great ]

[ The Fresh Fish Was Battered Just Right ]
[ It Was Not Too Heavy ]
[ It Was Not Too Light ]

[ Who Knows Where This Road Will Take Us ]
[ Because Our Car ]
[ Is Not A Tourist Bus ]

[ The Fish Peddlar Was Just On The Other Side Of
The Street Now ]
[ The Color Of The Building Makes You Go (WOW!) ]

[ The Seagulls Are Flying Everywhere ]
[ Floating On The Air ]

[ An Old Man Has Been Feeding Them Bread ]
[ He Even Put A Large Piece On His Head ]

[ Now He Is Playing The Harmonica Making A Very
Irritating Sound ]
[ He Chased Away The People ]
[ That Were Just Sitting On The Ground ]

[ Even Through His Sunglass Tint ]
[ He Failed To Take The Hint? ]

[ A Late Night Meal @ A Beach Denny’s ]
[ For You & Your Friend ]
[ It Definitely Wasn’t As Good ]
[ As You Remembered It To Be ]

[ There Was Only One Thing Missing ]
[ During Our Trip ]
[ & That Was The Daily Event Of The Sun & Water Kissing ]

[ The Clouds Are Too Low ]
[ & They Are Moving Too Slow ]

[ She Was Amazed That You Were Still Awake & Alive ]
[ For This Long Of A Drive ]

[ But Once Again You Had A Blast ]
[ Even With The Time Flying By So Fast ]
[ You Know That The Memories Of Being @ The Beach
With Your Best Friend ]
[ Will Forever Last ]
