(024)▪︎[ The Mood … 2024 ]

[ To Say That If You Are In A Somber Mood, You Would Be Minimizing Things ]
[ What Happened Last Night, Still Stings ]
[ You Wish The Whole Night Could Just Fly Away ]
[ On Magical Wings ]

[ You Do Not Know How, Why Or When It Went Off Of The Rail? ]
[ Sometimes You Wonder When Civility Set Sail? ]
[ If That Was An Attempt To Stay Civil ]
[ It Sure Did Fail ]

[ Sometimes The Worst Thing That You Do Is Be Alone With Your Thoughts ]
[ Then You Start Thinking About Them ]
[ & It Ties You Up In Knots ]

[ What A Vicious Circle You Are Leaving ]
[ You Are Not Doing Anything Worth Believing ]
[ You Are Not Relieving ]

[ Any Stress ]
[ So That Creates An Even Bigger Mess ]
[ But Then You Start To Digress ]

[ Trying To Get Through Quirk After Quirk ]
[ You Are Trying Your Hardest To Figure Out What Will Work ]

[ So Far, Not So Good ]
[ If You Think That It Should ]
[ Everything Will ]
[ Everything You Say, Seems To Be Misunderstood ]
[ Just Like You Thought That They Would ]

[ You Really Need To Get The (COULD & SHOULD) Out Of Your Mind ]
[ Start Having The Positive Kind ]
[ Of Thoughts ]
[ This Way, You Might Find ]

[ That In The (60+) Years That You Have Under Your Belt ]
[ You Have Yet To Find The Secret Where You Have Felt ]
[ That Your Problems Will Become Like The Snow Outside & Melt ]

[ Is There Such A Secret ]
[ That You Have Not Yet ]
[ Met? ]

[ There Is Nothing Out There That Has Been Found ]
[ That The Fountain Of Youth Is Under That Mound ]
[ Of Ground ]

[ If There Is, Could You Please Raise Your Right Hand ]
[ When Given The Command? ]
[ You Feel That If You Do Not Come Up With An Answer ]
[ You Will Be Forever Damned ]

[ What Would Be The Difference Between That & This? ]
[ Take A Look All Around ]
[ Then Could Somebody Tell You What You Would Miss? ]

[ Is There Something? ]
[ Or Is The Answer,
(NOTHING!) ]

[ You Guess, In Some People’s Eyes ]
[ You May Not Be Too Wise ]
[ One Thing That You Won’t Do ]
[ Is Tell, Alot Of Lies ]

[ Or Maybe, You Could Act Dense ]
[ So Most Things Will Not Make You Feel Tense ]
[ During Those Times You Could Ask For Clarity From Your Neighbor ]
[ Who Lives With His Family In A Couple Of Tents ]

[ Take Commercials For Example ]
[ To Make Sense Of It All ]
[ You Would Need So Many Samples ]
[ They Would Be, Wall To Wall ]

[ To Try ]
[ So, When They Come By ]
[ Looking For Your Opinion ]
[ You Will Not Lie ]

[ or ]

[ Try To Figure Out ]
[ What They’re Talking About ]

[ Do All Of Them Make Sense To You? ]
[ Should You Be Looking For Some Kind Of A Clue? ]
[ If You Find One ]
[ Then What Do You Do? ]

[ Do You Go Out & Buy? ]
[ Everything That You Tried? ]
[ If You Do, Why? ]

[ All Of Your Hard Earned Money Would Go Up In Smoke ]
[ That Would Leave You Standing On The Corner ]
[ Totally Broke ]

[ You Could Think (WELL, DAMN) ]
[ (THAT WAS NOT A VERY GOOD PLAN!) ]

[ You Wouldn’t Feel Like It Was A Loss ]
[ If That Idea Was On The Chopping Block? ]
[ & Then Given A Toss ]

[ Surely, You Could Find Something Better ]
[ Oh, Now You Are Looking For That Letter ]

[ That Could Possibly Change Everything ]
[ That Would Help Explain ]
[ How Santa Knows Exactly What To Bring? ]
[ If You Were To Read It, Don’t Complain ]

[ Not A Number Too Few ]
[ Not A Number More ]
[ All Of The Presents Were Bought Brand New ]
[ From The Local Store ]

[ How Do You Come Up With A Plan That Makes Sense? ]
[ It Is Not Like Your Mind Has A Swinging Gate ]
[ Like On A Fence ]
[ Where You Don’t Have To Wait ]

(507)▪︎[ To My Friend … 5•23•2020 ]

[ My Cavarona, I So Wish I Could Give You Five More Minutes ]
[ But I Have No Say In This ]

[ You Are So Important In My Life ]
[ You Are Just A Step Away ]
[ From My Wife ]

[ I Have Always Had Good Female Friends In The Past ]
[ But As I Look Around ]
[ Not A Single One Could Last ]

[ If We Do, Time Will Tell ]
[ When It Comes To Keeping Friends ]
[ I Do Not Do That Very Well ]
[ When They End ]
[ Everything Just Goes To Hell ]

[ I Know That I’m No Peach ]
[ & Finding That A True Friend ]
[ Is Always A Reach ]

[ But I Feel That You See ]
[ The Real Me ]
[ & Being A Real Friend To You ]
[ Is All That I Want To Be ]

[ I Think I Always Show You How I Want To Be Seen ]
[ I’ve Got A Big Heart ]
[ & I’m Not Mean ]

[ Especially In The Upcoming Days ]
[ When We Are Physically Apart ]

[ I Will Always Be Just A Phone Call Away ]
[ & I’ll Take Your Call ]

[ You’ve Left Your Mark On Me Since Day One ]
[ You Have Been So Much Fun ]

(281)▪︎[ Another Day … 4•4•2021 ]

[ You Tore My Heart Out Of My Chest ]
[ & Just Threw It On The Ground ]
[ You Selfishly Thought That Would Be The Best ]
[ For Everybody Around ]

[ You Stand There Acting All Proud ]
[ While Talking Really Loud ]
[ To The Crowd ]

[ That Has Gathered Around You ]
[ Do You Really Think That You Are Getting Your
Point Through? ]
[ By Telling Them What You Do? ]

[ To Others That You Think Are Not As Strong? ]
[ & You Never Think That Is Wrong? ]

[ Is Your Sense Of Humanity Gone? ]
[ Has Your Good Conscience Moved On? ]

[ This Has Stopped Being Fun ]
[ So Now I’ve Got To Run ]
[ Because It Looks Like This Relationship Is Done ]

[ No Need To Explain ]
[ I Don’t Want To Hear You Complain ]

[ Not Anymore ]
[ Why, For? ]
[ It Makes Me Want To Head For The Door ]

[ I Knew This Was What You Dread ]
[ But When You Decided To Crawl In Another Man’s Bed ]
[ I Really Questioned What Was Going On In Your Head ]
[ You Should Had Thought Of Me ]
[ But You Thought Of Him Instead ]
[ That Is Why In My Heart ]
[ You Are Dead ]

[ 277 ][ 9:29 … 4•3•2021 ]

[ NINE MINUTES & 29 SECONDS … 4•2•2021 ]

[ 9:29 ]
[ Does Not Seems To Be Alot Of Time ]
[ For Someone To Sit In Their Room & Whine ]

[ Maybe To Possibly Walk A Mile? ]
[ Sweep A Large Section Of The Kitchen Tile ]

[ Something That Would Not Be Done Very Often ]
[ You Could Boil Three Different Servings Of
Top Ramen ]

[ 9 Minutes & 29 Seconds Seems Like Forever If
You Were Being Tortured ]
[ That Makes A Horrible Mental Picture ]

[ Police Officer Chauvin Had His Knee On George Floyd’s
Neck For That Long ]
[ Even Though Chauvin Knew That What He Was Doing
Was Wrong ]

[ This Is Not A Lie ]
[ It Took Floyd 9:29 Minutes To Die ]

[ The World Should Give A Big ( THANK YOU ) To The
Woman That Recorded The Horrible Video ]
[ If People Were Not Recording The Murder ]
[ America Would Most Likely Never Know ]

[ That Police Department Would Have Had The Whole
Incident, The Statements, & Any Evidence, Squashed Like
A Bug ]
[ Then With The Help Of All Of The Officers ]
[ Swept It Under The Rug ]

[ It Would Create A Big Lump ]
[ & It Would Leave Floyd’s Family Stumped ]

[ But They Did & It Was Horrible What That Video Said ]
[ It Took A Very Long 9:29 Minutes Of Chauvin Kneeling
On Floyd’s Neck ]
[ To Leave Him Laying There, Dead ]

[ Nobody Can Hold Their Breath For That Amount Of
     Time ]
[ Nothing That Floyd Was Doing While He Was Laying
     There Justified The Restraint Or The Technique ]
[ So Chauvin Must Have Known That He Was Committing
     A Crime ]

[ If Someone Had 9:29 Minutes They Could Eat A Meal ]
[ During Any Part Of The 569 Seconds Could I Imagine How
George Would Feel ]

[ As Chauvin Knelt ]
[ He Had To Know How Bad Floyd Felt ]

[ Could He Tell That Chauvin Had Murderous Intentions? ]
[ Could He Make That Connection? ]

[ While Chauvin Was Kneeling, Couldn’t He Tell If Floyd
Wasn’t Breathing Anymore? ]
[ Through That Whole Confrontation ]
[ Chavin Showed The World That He Was Evil Clear To
His Core ]

[ & Of Course ]
[ Chauvin Knew That Was Using Deadly Force ]

[ He Must Have Known It Was ]
[ I Guess That Seems To Be What Chauvin Does ]

[ The Next Time That I Watched The Video I Noticed That
     Chauvin’s Hands Were Completely In His Pockets ]
[ How Much More @ Ease Can Chauvin Get? ]

[ When A Man Puts His Hands In His Pockets, He Is
     Relaxing ]
[ For Him, @ That Time There Was Nothing Taxing ]

[ Now Chauvin Finds Himself In Court ]
[ After The Incident Chauvin Found Himself Out Of Work ]
