How To Use A Term Of Endearment In New Jersey

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The debate is not whether 

Rex Tillerson called Donald Trump

a  Moron

The debate is whether

that word was preceded by
a profane adjective

However,

In New Jersey,

calling someone a

 f--king moron

is a term of endearment

A Few Words About Thinking From Someone Full Of Thoughts

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our poets have stopped
wanting to think ever since
they think they heard
the philosophers say that
thought is no longer
supposed to be
a matter of thinking,
but rather of living.

Life is to blame for everything.
But in God's name:
What is living?

His Talent Was The Opposite Of "Petty" ... May He Rest In Peace

She was an American girl

She couldn't help thinking that there
was a little more to life
somewhere else

After all it was a great big world
with lots of places to run to

Robert Earl Keen And THE GREAT HANK ... And The VW Bug

________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I was only sixteen years old

I went from Houston to Abilene


With a spunky

stunningly handsome woman

in a Volkswagen Bug


She was grown

with some kids all her own.


A commitment-free divorcee,

and I was a man in love.


We had only one 8-track tape

but it was of the late

great 
Hank Williams

and we sang

in two-part harmony


"Hey good lookin',

how's about cookin'


Something up with me"


Robert Earl Keen

What The Ken Burns VIET NAM WAR Documentary Ignored

________________________________________________________________________________________________

This Is War

...

And it looks like it
could have happened
anywhere but this
is just four images of the
VIET NAM WAR
documentary,
co-created by Ken Burns.

I could have selected
as many as forty-thousand
images of the war that,
indisputably,
the United States
LOST.

Everything you ever wanted
to know about
the Southeast Asian
conflict is within the ten-part
TWENTY HOUR
documentary.

That includes significant
interviews with
North Viet Nam soldiers,
i.e.,
the people our soldiers
were sent to kill.

The only thing missing
from this mind-numbing
must-watch series is
THE EXTENSION OF
THE VIET NAM MEMORIAL WALL

The Memorial Wall
in Washington DC
 lists the names
of more than 58,000 Americans
who died in Viet Nam.

The Wall was completed in 1982.

The United States of America's
involvement in the Viet Nam War
ended in 1973.

But an extension of
the Memorial wall should include
the name
Raymond H. Peterssen
who died on February 9, 2012.

Raymond, a Marine
—like his father—
was in Viet Nam
from 1969 through 1971.

For thirty-nine years after
the conflict ended,
Ray Peterssen's body
was poisoned by
Agent Orange,
the herbicidal perfume
that we sprayed
all over Viet Nam. 

The presence of Agent Orange
in Raymond's liver
finally killed him
in 2012.

I have yet to talk to
an American Viet Nam veteran
who does not know
a fellow veteran
who died under the same
delayed circumstances.

There are many, many other names
that can be added to
the extension of
The Viet Nam Memorial Wall.

This Quote Is From Either Kierkegaard Or Kafka ... So I Thought ... But Then I'm Thinking About ... Tronald Dump Donald Trump

________________________________________________________________________________________________

One can prove the existence of God

by standing on one foot

but it is better to kneel

on two knees

to thank God

for existing

The quote may be slightly paraphrased

but I first encountered it

at least fifty years ago

when I thought acquaintance

with Kafka and Kierkegaard

made me grateful

for my existence

IT IS MENTIONED HERE,

HOWEVER,

BECAUSE LAST YEAR,
A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE

GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE,
BEFORE A FOOTBALL GAME
BEGAN

ONE YEAR LATER,

THAT GESTURE SET OFF
A FIRESTORM
OF INSANITY AND INANITY

IN THAT THING CALLED

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

BUT THE FIRESTORM

WAS MERE FIREWOOD

FOR THE PRESIDENT'S  

JOCK ITCH SUPPORTERS

OF THE CAUCASION

PERSUASION

THE FIREWOOD
KEEPS THOSE SUPPORTERS

WARM AND COZY

AND OBLIVIOUS

TO THE DUPLICITOUS
 (AND DUMBILICIOUS)

NATURE THAT IS THEIR 

"WHITE KNIGHT"

What Is It About That Thing Called Love

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Is it north, south

east or west

at its worst

or at its best

it has got legs

faster than

its eyes

it has got volume

ever-changing 

size

it is good, it is bad

with a launching pad

for that thing

called hate

early or late

***
