Back in the U.S.S.R.

The political landscape in this country is a reproduction of democracy. It is not real, it is imagined. We have all noted in previous elections that it came down to a choice between the “lesser of two evils”. We tolerate this? Why should we be forced to choose any evil? Because we too are evil, […]

Situations

Situation Number One: It’s the one that’s just begun, But evidently it’s too late. Situation Number Two: It’s the only chance for you. It’s controlled by denizens of hate. Situation Number Three: It’s the one that no one sees. It’s all too often dismissed as fate. Situation Number Four: The one that left you wanting […]

So much of our desires and notions come from what seems to look good and work only in movies. This is especially true when it comes to romance. I blame Disney for all the millions […]

Those whom I call friends already know this. Those that actually read this wandering, less than idealistic record of uninspired thoughts, may have also stumbled […]

Tell Her This

Tell her what was wrong I sometimes think to much But say nothing at all Sometimes it is not easy to say what needs to be said. Most of the time if the words are hard to find, it is probably for the best. This prevents me from needing to remove my foot from my […]

Enjoy the Silence

Vows are spoken to be broken. Feelings are intense. Words are trivial. Pleasures remain. So does the pain. The move to the new house is near completion.  Most of my life’s belongings are unpacked and placed at their arbitrarily decided new location, where they will remain until I decide to move again and pack them […]

The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared. And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face. People come and go in your life. The types of people who make a tremendous impact on your life are usually the ones that don’t stick […]
