'thank you worth saying' timothy r gates, 11/27/28
Turkey
nearly U.S. National bird
Buzzard too
Eagles soar
imagine plucking
an Eagle for holiday feasts
'thank you,' worth saying
whether eating
being eaten
or for the freedom
to bitch regarding
omnivorism gluttonous behaviorism.
Thank you.
'Smiles' timothy r gates, 11/26/2008
smiles
fly
too when
two
don't
sigh
apart
in art
in prose
in verse...

'Ever?' timothy r gates, 11/21/2008
Ever fall into
love
or into the dumpster
climbing out,
not so easy
and the mess,
shit smells better?
Ever pray
or prey
dial-o-deal
with God
with neighbor,
odor's like manure
a little rain, sunshine?
Ever rise above
resurrection
aim for the stars
shooting one wished upon
believe the mythos
hear the logos
sit in your own?
Yeah, me neither.

'Evening's sleet' timothy r gates, 11/20/2008
Evening's sleet
once rain
now snow
we slip, slid, 'hurray!'
learned early,
don't eat yellow snow
learned later,
don't eat yellow snow flakes
bad enough, pissed on
pissed on from above, redundant
only one solution:
move out of the way.
Snowy kisses
misses
bliss
catch one
frost bite broken
blackened flesh
moistened
snowy kisses
blowing
caught
sleeping kisses

Keith Olbermann 11/10/08 Proposition 8 Special Comment

My children, five, spanning three decades, all of them are politically, generally conservative. (This is the way that children rebel against liberal parents, dad, i guess.) They also have friends that are...

'observations, from Timothy'...... I've noticed that many, not all yet, young people get it, that the place of the state is that it ought to have no place to decide when and who consent to be married legally. If one is able to freely choose to be legally married, with all that it implies legally too, then that's all that matters.
