Once I drew every day. I have lost my way but might find it back. Here is a try.

Many flaws, but Inertia is well broken.
regime change is a tricky biz
its motivation far trickier
for the man who cannot keep his mushroom
unshuttered
is now playing with his other toys
including the lives of soldiers
and bombs and other bibi guns
playing with firepower and fire
playing like a gambler
who will not quit
until he has lost
it all
The evening ebbs/And woven webs/Are put aside for now.
Well past the crest/It’s time to rest/And dim the here and now.
You’ve taken heed/Of thoughtworddeed/And now you take a meal
With sweet and salt/And single malt/Enjoyment of the weal.
The loom’s enthreaded with the day
And warp and weft endow its play.

three lengths of twice-cooked bacon
a brace of well-flipped eggs
no room to edge a steak in
no coffee so no dregs
two slices bread sans jelly
one bottle of kombucha

The place I bought my car wants to buy it back
A scheduling lady called and urged me
To bring my Soul in for appraisal
“I don’t want to sell my Soul,” I told her
But soon got a text from the dealership
“When can you bring your vehicle in?”
Wow, how aggressive!
I bantered
Asked for some info that would give me a clue
As to how much I could possibly get
“I understand your hesitation,” the next text said
And I asked to whom I was texting
“You’re texting with the AI assistant of Bill Luke Chrysler…” was the unashamed answer
Not a human being
But aggressive-car-salesman SOFTWARE

A glimpse of the future
Chills me now

some of my drawings have been unearthed
from my primitive single-acrostic days
and fearless experimenting with colored markers
portraits of alfred stieglitz and jennifer hudson
musings and meanderings
done in a different lifetime

they distract
and i must get back to what i was doing
so I will put them aside
aside from this one
of my piano-playing
angelic
tongue-sticking-out friend
who has since found her soulmate
and changed her last name to his
Tomorrow an outfit named Merry Maids will clean my apartment. I have begun de-cluttering the floors to facilitate their operations. Meanwhile I hope to pare downy possessions, and this image shows a test of my set of old Crayola markers. They are still usable, and now, having whetted my appetite with this exercise, I want to go back to using them. But I have so much decluttering to do that I must firmly stick to the mission, telling myself “No more distractions.”
The Seahawks gave astonishing defense
Sweet Brandi sang the words of K.L. Bates
Bad Bunny’s big bravura was intense
And Green Day called out idiots. Hey, mates:
Here is the true America revealed,
Diversity, inclusion, protest, strength,
And energy for mindful souls to wield
And let true Freedom ring at awesome length.
Refreshing, isn’t it? Continue, saga,
With pendulums of peace swung back this way,
A neighborhood complete with Lady Gaga
And fellowship the order of the day.
The takeaway is sweet, the songs anthemic,
A cure for our mean-spirited pandemic.
let us unweaponize our fists
be un so fisticated
and brandish blossoms from the mists
as peace ability encysts
and have with healthy partners trysts
relate to the elated
in fabrics dressimated
en joie so trysticated.
One with Clay, Image and Text
