"SLANDER"

Nobody wins.

Everybody loses.

Stories told,

bought and sold.

Facts versus fiction.

"SYSYPHUS MUST'VE BEEN A HUMAN PINBALL"

How can you catch a break

at the never-ending hurdles before you?

The bumps and cracks are nothing new.

More endless tasks to finish too.

Sysyphus must’ve been a human pinball,

Schizophrenia

Thy name was what they used to die for

And I had refused to bow down before

They walked in line believing they were right

But never seriously took they his might

The tyranny stands against us

"THE COURAGE TO NOT BE LIKED"

It’s one hell of a scary piece of art.

It’s not about being rude for the sake of it.

It’s showing the face behind the mask,

no make-up but scars.

Let’s see who sticks around,

Transplanting Gardens

Yesterday I transplanted bits of my garden from NJ to MAINE.

HYDRANGEA, PEONY, BLACKBERRY VINE, CORAL BELLS, RHUBARB.

Dead looking bulbs come out of wet plastic bags that Lee and Camille lovingly packed.

Int. MAINE soil on a lovely warm November day.

Will these bulbs take root?

Will my clippings adapt and adopt this foreign strange soil?

"MY FACE"

Are you afraid of my face?

I am human too,

just like you.

This face represents me.

This is part of my identity.

How to recognise me,

Hot-Dogs & Beer

ICE Cold Beer with a hot-dog smothered in mustard, ketchup, onions and kraut.

National Hebrew Kosher steamed from Costco.

Hot day with chips on the side.

Sliced cold watermelon.

Too much of a good thing gets old.

"THE SLEEPING SATELLITE"

If time were relative,

then I’d like a pause

for a sense of relief

without any cause.

Let me roam around,

"NO COMMENT!"

What you choose to believe

will affect how you perceive.

A picture’s worth a thousand words,

or possibly less or more.

There’s more than meets the eye.

The Wind that Shakes the Leaves

I sit behind the pond

This cool night wind is curious

It stands to my resort

Where they do always jury us

I should feel what is real

Бонапартист Нуартьє

The lost one

Love's gonna make you nothing

And you will be down in the dumps

So crawl to me right now

I need a guy like you

Someone who has no soul and heart

And whose mind's filled with nothing

Бонапартист Нуартьє

"YOUR TROPHIES?"

What is it with people like you?

You treat everything a competition,

all in the name of public acknowledgment.

You flaunt your fortunes,

clearly fishing for compliments.
