Poem
City Boy Vs.* the Encroachment* of Nature
The Birds got their Revenge,
was it? And further, do
the loose cats know
something more is coming?
I brake for skunks.
The chipmunks are almost faster
than the eye can see.
A racoon climbs the vertical wall
to the trash dumpster lip.
(Road kill.)
The fawn was more graceful
than they so small and wobbly
are made out to be,
and it escaped my wheel
unlike the inert critter –
(I thought it was a squirrel,
But it pro’ly was a rat.)
Deer dart in and out
of the suburbs, --
Will we see them
on the ball courts next?
We may lose our food bank
Because of a mouse –
SHE doesn’t want them in the building.
A mouse or mice lived in my T.V. box.
(Lots of turds.)
One died there.
The Chinese build 2 coal power plants
per week, and
the Governor says
yes we can strip mine the entire state of Montana,
yet I’m concerned that the rabbits
in their burrows
may not be able to read their eviction notices
on time
since they don’t seem to do that well
with the eye chart.
If I’m on my front porch
in the desert of the American West,
maybe I’ll see a snake;
I don’t think I’ll care for it,
but rather for a remedy
of man’s inhumanity.
Let the glaciers fall
into the sea.
And if the EPA lets me breath out CO2
(a greenhouse gas)
I will continue to breath in.

So that’s a poem I’ve mentioned before. Global warming? Maybe a half a degree.
The orthodox dude at the JCC crowded my space and bumped (I said excuse me.) Of him, I can say, he’s not Christian. Perhaps he’s with the right wing settlers who should be educated. I need to continue to show respect to my benefactors.
I’m now in new pain and I blame the mafia as the bad guys. The Israeli air strike at Syria in September, 2007 was mentioned today on the news against conspiracy with North Korea. That strike was cleared with the U.S. Do you think George W. is going to clear it with you before he hits Iran? I hope I’m wrong, maybe. I should check with Kambiz, my would be friend from Iran. Is there anything he can say to stave off an invasion? In this country I was in the streets in 1979 against the Iranian kidnappings. As Billy Jack would say, I try and I try… to support Israel.

8 Is Enough to Do Iran
8 Is Enough to Do Iran
8 Is Enough used to be the name of a TV show where there were eight kids in one family. I don’t think there was a marriage of instant family like the Brady Bunch: there was probably no birth control or abortion, and some poor woman popped them out like a Mormon Fundamentalist. Here, 8 percentage points victory in the Pennsylvania primary is enough for Hilary Clinton to continue her pursuit of the presidency.
Thing is, the call for experience may intensify with the Iran War. It’s a done Deal. Gates is going to be the last person to know about it. It is going to be nuclear. Could be Israel, could be us, but those military cities will be incinerated. I don’t know about the population centers, say Tehran for example. In Iraq, the stage is set for a complete withdrawal of American troupes. If the Iraqi forces answer the call, then Maliki can continue his federalist government. Otherwise, the Sectarians can kill each other with our blessing. We can hope for the $200 per barrel oil we are preparing for. More dead Muslims is OK, just ask the crusading Pope. Thing is, the military has proved its case that Iran is INTERFERING, in Iraq.
I think this is going to happen sooner rather than later. Clintonian experience will be at a premium, as we dismiss Cheney, ask for more Bubba, radio station Bubba, all Bubba, all day, all night. Do you think we are going to forgive “W” for any of this?
I may post a poem or pictures to muffle this. You can send contributions to the Cedar Rd. address below, or, Network, you can comment!!!
Maybe in the face of all this blood, the PEOPLE will give up their taste for the mafia.

Same
I’m in pain below the belt. I’ve got to write on my blog that organized crime, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the people who own the bars are all the same people. The ninth step functions as a giant collection agency, including the negative connotations.
I should be for Hilary because the Clintons were nice to my Aunt in Little Rock. They were friends. I just didn’t like that Sopranos commercial, and the way she used the word Family. Plus I liked Edwards.

One Minute Warning
The One Minute Warning
Trying to be positive with a little editing, I front load this a little. First, if all else fails talk about the weather that has turned the corner. Spring! It’s warmer, and the clear skies were a bonus lately.
Secondly, all of you with a special somebody of the opposite sex may be thankful you’re so lucky. Even if it’s temporary. Married, great. If you’ve got kids and/or living parents, wonderful. These are most important things.
Thirdly, a guy walks into a bar, no, a grocery store. He’s got a black eye and his friend says, “What happened to you!” Guy says, “I was fighting for my girlfriend’s honor.” The friend says, “Looks like she was trying to hold on to it.” This is from a book I’m reading, The Welsh Girl, by Davies.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program…
Usually you have heard of the 2 minute warning in football games. But then these are not the best of times, however weird.
There was a Wal-Mart worker, a cop, and a priest at the door. A joke, no, I wish. I’m pretty sure it was the Wal-Mart worker who said, “You have three minutes left." Then a male voice said, “You have one minute left.” Somehow I lost two my nuts. Or could I still keep one?
In real terms I’m having enough pain so that I worry about my cajonnes the Mafia seems so obsessed with.
I wrote against the Mob in a comment, but then Erin took down her post. It’s to be published in print only. I continue to wish her well.
Maybe it was heard that I’m presently going neutral in the Pennsylvania primary, and saying I could vote for Obama in the general election. This would be to ignore two R’s, Wright, and Rezco.
Also, I am strongly against the Mexico fence, for environmental reasons. I think there must be better ways, like fining employers, for dealing with illegal immigration. I heard that there are tons (20 or more is a guess) environmental regulations that the Bush administration is overriding.
Recently I was informed one of my emails from yahoo failed to go through to a gmail person. I don’t understand if the filter sent it into something like bulk, or just evaporated it as spam. This is more than symbolic if not implicit direct evidence of the collapse of Western Civilization.
Finally I want to write in support of Moses, who may or may not have been using psychoactive substances when he brought down the Ten Commandments, the kabbalah, and the 613 mitzvoth, (sp.) More than half of these don’t apply if we don’t live in Israel. Or if we are not considered Jewish, exactly. I say if natural substance pharmacology puts us in closer contact with our God, then more power to us.

Nicer
Didn’t get the memo: Hillary or McCain?
Cleveland Heights blacks chased me. I had fear. I could have lost an eye. I could have lost my wallet. I could have lost my bicycle. I pedaled hard. I lost none of the above. I can walk back there... It can happen. I am a white 46 year old man. I was harassed by 3 blacks. He said, "I'm going to bye me a forty, Homey." The future can happen.
P.S. 3/30/08 So far I’m going to leave this as is, except to say that the goal of this blog for good should be non-racist That is to say good people come in all forms. But also it is wise not to walk in bad neighborhoods at night.
That’s not what I was doing when I had this problem. In the future I hope to have more positive writings. I am being tortured by the bad guys. I do poetry and book club groups on their turf, but I do not actively confront them very much. I’ve seen scary movies that make me feel I’m out of my depth anyway. But I’ve got nothing better to do. If I write you an email, maybe you will write back. I am a writer. If I say something controversial, you are allowed to complain. I like my blog because I can change it, or take it back. So far I haven’t had to do that too much. We can win.

She
2/14/08
She
She reminds me of a Patti Smith tune, Dancing Barefoot. I considered spelling it Sea, like Sean or Seamus, but then it’s not quite right. She is my ex-girlfriend. I’d love to yell her name from the rooftops, but I can’t because of this dirty business. I still write her love letters, so I won’t name her when I say I’m being tortured to death by the Mafia because of some hooker business. They won’t leave me alone, so I’ve got to convince people that my problem is their problem too (in order to get some help.)
Do you think Hilary is going to run another Sopranos commercial? I hope not. Do you think she’s going to debate and say we are all Family here? I don’t think so, these are reasons I don’t support her, though I’ve been connected (to her) in the past. We have to get rid of the unions, because of the Mob. General Motors offered a buy out to all of their hourly workers. For all intensive purposes, this is a country where GM doesn’t exist any more. Entertainment, like movies and TV, worship the Mob, so they have got to go too. Blockbuster has been stealing twenty dollars a month from me, because they could.
So I fucked up a bar, because I could, and they are torturing me to death 12 years later. They could let it go, but they don’t, so I cannot either. I was a good Catholic – Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation, all that was not good enough, nor was my immersion in the Jewish faith. What has been revealed to me is a knife, a fake holiness where impersonators break into my apartment and mess with my fluids and pills.
For now it’s enough to let you know that this fight is your fight. I swear Obama said if one man is not free, no one is free. We are not free because of the Black Hand, and they are so stupid. It’s going to take superhuman effort, and your good vote, to erase them. Maybe issue by issue (keep pro choice,) we have to go hard right. Maybe. And maybe you should reach out and disrespect a Mobster ...

Katrina
1/22/08
Katrina, Martine and Margaret
At the risk of repeating myself I discourse on Katrina, where payback is a mother. It seems the Mob should not have participated in the assassination of JFK. It’s obvious that the storm was steered, and that levies were blown up. Tisk, tisk. No drinking water for you, even though we are FEMA. All you poor people of color should not have been mobbed up with the Godfather. Go to hell. A watery, dirty, dank hell, yes, but there you can practice your Santeria and your Voodoo, and the rest of us will sleep better.
Martine speaks the Queen’s English the best and her BBC news is more interesting than Marine Jim Leher’s fascist kissing PBS show. Even Katie Couric deserves more air listening time these days.
Margaret Warner is the best news person on the planet, and she has gone on location to difficult places. She is intelligent and deserves attention.
I know this post is skinny but at least it’s something for January, where I can continue to grub for contributions, which are a perfect nothing for the past year.
P.S. 2/3/08 Well I’m happy that I watched the Giants win the Super Bowl, and the commercials were disappointing. I liked the early “What is life?" Pepsi commercial with its SNL reference, but otherwise they sucked. Especially the one where the guy woke up with his car in his bed. Like the Godfather. How about this? You’re going to hell and we are going to send you there. Not you dear reader of course. But I’ve had a lot of personal (poisoned) pain and mainstream media seems weak, and late night radio seems wasteful.
