Grateful for this-Day! NOW let us require those in D.C. to represent the US of the U.S. of A.
Grateful for this day!

Many new things come to us this day, the first day after the 'popular' vote for the president and vice-president of the United States of America. I am grateful.

64% of those 'registered' to vote in America voted in and for this...

'turn the other cheek, again' timothy r gates, 11/04/2008

vote
no vote,
still voting
tabs are counted
the voted
in
same
as
the voted
out
for themselves.
Just that we do
vote
for
them.
--the would be
soldier
in line for a physical
told,
'spread your cheeks!'
confusion,
'Sir! Which ones?'
And?

'Collateral exuberance' timothy r gates, 11/01/2008

jesus said,
'turn the other cheek,'
then kicked out the cheeks
wagging their mouths between them,
selling
forgiveness, never sufficient,
like,
daddy's fucking indifference towards your
innocence.
Then, he,
died.
It's said,
he's coming back
kicking the cheeks of others.
One cheek turned
another one fucked
both turn,
until
unnoticed.
Exuberance, for one...

'no spring, today' timothy r gates, 10/27/2008

Spring comes
goes
leaves bury me
innocence gone
stolen
melancholy, accused
sometimes, merely, sad
happy
condescension
condensation
un-cathartic
non-patriotic
carotid clog
-no such providence
fall's here
winter too
summer's cessation
Lazarus' raising,
a reprieve
son of man, not there
the second time
around
no spring,
today
stained pages,
they're here
window left open,
these
blown
too....

'Veracity' timothy r gates, 10/26/2008

veracity
tenacity
audacity
capacity
fluoride
vaccine
b.s.
-My own,
-others
who gives a s?
All writers,
especially
when we say,
'I don't.'
is everyone correct?
b.s.
-If I thought this,
or you,
save for pretentious a.h.'s,
-whoever,
we'd not write.
Or, i would,
-then
claim
to
be
open-minded.
b.s.
-is
true
too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICgRUXpb3-8 It's an amazing irony of inhumanity, our leaders, liberals to conservatives, vote to fund and do war, nearing a trillion dollars (!), but are not able to find a way to address sufficiently health care for 'all' of our 'we the people.' One Brit years ago observed,'Jesus said that the poor you have always, so let's keep them.' What...

'violations of another's will' (not a poem) 'is always a violation' timothy r gates, 10/17/2008
http://www.myspace.com/timothyartbooksmusic
(inspired by a rereading of 'connie's blog http://www.myspace.com/nywvprof "Femicide"
Violation is violation no matter what premise or context it has. Still in our present day lawyers and judges, with the applause of government 'rulers' pretending to represent 'the people' continue to treat those that are violated by perpetuating their...

'the senses' timothy r gates, 10/16/2008
senses
aromas
plethora of amorous
chocolate
caffeine
dripping
sip, sip, sip
raspberries, strawberries, apples and grapes
eaten from your altar
pentecostal elation
'G-O-D!'
(damn, i was sleeping, again)
solomon's mines
mind
amorous plus plethora
exponential
(ever eat chocolate
until it thickens your throat?)
drip
sip
slurp.

'in the corner'* timothy r gates, 10/08/2008

in the corner
no one sees
chooses to look
says the innocuous,
'everything happens for a reason'
or,
'time heals all wounds'
like the wheelchair bound
walked around
not looked at in the eye
a chant might be heard,
if dared,
'please don't ask me for help'
in the corner
she doesn't stare
-'starry, starry night,'
i find...

'economics'

'economics II'

throw bs at the wall

whether it sticks, matters not,

like network marketing,

lib's and conserve's

perv's

the gods are.




'economics III'

poor, rarely get wealthy

wealthy, often get poor

but, then, get rich

i'm poor: tax the rich

i'm rich: tax me, i'll tax you

i'm taxed.
