I need a break from making too much sense or whatever else goes along with that. When things get too heavy, it is time to lighten up for a minute.

 

I sat to
Write
A poem on a pad.
I wanted
More
But this is all I had.

 

Since that did not work out very well. I decided to try something else. Let me be random and bizarre and bear with me.

 

Chatter does not matter.
Flatter me and scatter me. 
I get fatter and fatter on blather that will not rhyme …
Nor reason.

 

That makes no sense … but isn't that the point? Not everything must always make sense. Eventually, gravity and magnetism center things. Therefore …
 
 
Sipping Peets
Major Dickason's.
To my horror realized
I have been spelling
AND pronouncing it
WRONG.
What other deep errors assail me?
Please poor me
another cup
of cough-free
cough-fee.
 
And I did. I had more coffee and it helped a lot.
 
Finding a note about watching some candidates taking themselves way too seriously, I reflected:
 
 
It was a painful debate to watch.
I did not appreciate all the questions nor their answers.
On the other hand …
I am out of hands.
I guess everyone made their positions and demeanor fairly clear.
So, as Lincoln said,
"If this is the sort of thing you like, you will probably like this sort of thing."
 
 
Sometimes I do like that sort of thing … and there is no escaping the suffering, pain, ugliness, and nonsensical seriousness of our world for long. We must return and repair.
 
So, I leave you with a quote that actually might make sense … at least to me … because it is mine.
 
Hate never accomplishes anything but more hate, ignorance, violence, and mistrust. It is good at building walls where we need roads.
