My Girls Sitting Down ... But The Most Impotant One Is Missing

*** 

Seated

on the floor

—wearing a white hoodie—

is

SHAMIKA BRYANT

 

and 

here she is

—full frontal— 

as photographed by

her 

Yearbook Advisor 

(Oliverio)

This 

photo

is

important

enough

to be

immortalized

on 

the homepage

of 

this 

MacBook Pro

This is

a photograph

of 

Dominic + Marie 

Lusurdo

 

They 

are the parents 

of

Donnie Lusurdo,

arguably

the funniest person

I ever knew

 

Donnie had polio

and

 was virtually

immobile

without 

crutches

BUT

he 

could swim

in the wonderful waters

of 

Rocky Point

—with a companion— 

 

I 

swam with him

but

nearly died

from laughing 

so hard

Moments before

this picture was taken, 

I 

had 

chauffeured

Jean Maddalena

—the Mayor of Rocky Point—

from church

to her 

Sunday

sip + chat

with

the parents

of

someone

who died

much 

too 

soon

 

Jean Maddalena

was my Mother's

older sister

Question Everything + Get ... Answers For Everything

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Anyone

who 

questions

everything

will get 

answers for

every question 

BUT 

the 

correspondence 

between 

question

+

correct answer 

will be

significantly

less than

100 %

accurate 

However,

 Artificial Intelligence

will easily

lead you 

to think 

otherwise:

 

Enabling 

anyone

to believe

they have

more 

intelligence

than actually

exists

One Of MY People

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

I am not

the newest Negro

in Long Beach

BUT 

 

 

I have

hundreds of

brothers + sisters

of 

all races 

and creeds  

who smoke

cigarettes

in public

–without shame– 

 

If

that "cigaret"

gives off

marajuana vapors,

the smoker is

no friend of mine

+

I rattle off 

a fistful of prayers

hoping

their next car accident

will not

prove fatal

There Is No Truth To The Rumor ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

There is no truth 

to the rumor

that an activist priest

from he Bronx

—Father Oliverio—

   inspired 

Gloria Steinam's

profound 

quote

posted on 

the previous

page

 

BUT

on  more than

one occasion

did

my Uncle

actually 

march

arm-in-arm

with 

Gloria

for 

feminist causes

 

He did this 

despite 

the disapproval 

of his "Boss,"

Cardinal O'Conner

 

However, 

Oliverio's

nephew

did once once say

The truth will set you free

but only after

you donate some piestas

to the poorhouse

FINALLY ... Universal Agreement With The President

***

 

It is understatement

to call this interview

"brilliant"

 

My 

favorite moment

is

when Dolly 

acknowledges

HANK WILLIAMS

as the 

"Godfather of Country Music"

and 

its' greatest poet

 

David

—of course—

agrees

BUT

makes a mistake

when he says

Hank died

at age 27

[he was 29]

 

It would have been 

beneath 

Dolly's Dignity

to have corrected 

him

HER Passage Into Heaven ... In Black + White

HER 

passage 

through

the 

Gates of Heaven

is 

a stunningly easy

thing

to 

visualize: 

 

SHE

will be greeted

by 

a 

choir of angels

+

one trumpet

 being played by

Louis Armstrong

who will be 

singing

Hello Dolly

The Most Amazing Thing About Female Prayer

the resemblance
