Open
hearts performing heart surgery on exhausted souls looking to recharge
The
white page is nothing to fear unlike the white man who rubs his white privilege
in your face and expects you to thank him for his nasty, populist politics
My
family thinks I’m a scumbag and that’s okay because they never once asked me
about my art or made any effort whatsoever to understand where it is I’m coming
from
When
Jax talks about la bambina my heart flutters like a butterfly and I wish we
could all share a meal together
Across
the pond is a soul who operates outside logic because she’s learned in past
lives not recognizing one’s gifts is no kind of life to attempt living
We
strive to be our best selves if we know what’s good for us and at the stroke of
midnight I’ll turn back into a pumpkin
Today
a supposed friend told me to get a haircut and to trim my beard because I look
like a wild man to which I replied what’s wrong with looking wild
I’m
just me and you are just you and together maybe we can be something if we stop
passing off counterfeit compliments like they actually meant something
I
met a full blown racist when I was standing in line at Giant Eagle yesterday
and I actually found it refreshing to hear someone speak their mind and not hide
behind a cloak of false civility
Of
course I didn’t agree with anything she said, but as we stood there like two masked
gunslingers I wondered how easy it would be to rob a bank or at the very least
get this person to admit that the hatred she’s feeling toward others is all
going to be directed back to her sooner than later
The
pandemic has turned our world upside down as companies make us jump through
more hoops to get the same unsatisfying results
Even
before the virus it was next to impossible getting a business to answer their
phone and if I hear one more automated voice telling me due to Covid-19 no one
is available to take my call at this time I may just scream at the top of my
lungs and leave this country for the Scottish Highlands
