forgiving our fathers
by dick lourie

maybe in a dream: he's in your power
you twist his arm but you're not sure it was
he that stole your money you feel calmer
and you decide to let him go free

or he's the one (as in a dream of mine)
I must pull from the water but I never
knew it or wouldn't have done...

"I don't want to have to ask for a valentine.
That's not love.
That's no fun.
But please won't you give me one.
We were just like lovers.
Or so I thought.
Now rumor has you
Deep in his arms.
I'm still desparately in love with you
Give me a sign.
You still need my love,
And long to be mine.
I don't have to...

I'm so tired.

Today was a good day, so far. I have to go and work at Sisters of the Road Cafe this afternoon.

Ennui, I think, is the special today.

They do not reach maturity, then deteriorate and die. They reach maturity and stay in full bloom, so to speak, for as long as Mercury cares to sing.

There is no way in which one creature can harm another, and no motive for one's harming another.

Hunger, envy, ambition, fear, indignation, religion and sexual lust are irrelevent and unknown.

The creatures have only one sense:...

She wanted me to go to that "heart place" in my writing. She even did the little bunny ears with her fingers when she said "heart place".

I laughed my ass off and, in my mind's eye, I saw my self telling her to "go fuck herself".

Instead, I walked home, feeling elated. Thought about my week, began to think about it all, and then...

Last night was a friend of mine's birthday. We went to a strip club, four boys and a girl. The dancers kept putting their asses in my face and their heads in my "friend who's a girl"'s lap.
That was until A familiar dancer began dancing. I left a stunned stripper at my table who was attempting to coax $60 out of my friends for...

Tonight I howled at the moon.

on a highway unpaved
goin' my way
you're so alone today

like a ghost town I've found
there's no relief
no soul
no mercy

is it true what they say
you can't behave
you gamble your soul away

measuring a jinx of this life seems like the gristle of loneliness

don't let the sun catch you cryin'
don't let the sun catch you cryin'

"BitterSweets(tm)" are the perfect gift for you OR for someone you love, especially if that special someone is one who doesn't want to hurt your feelings but just doesn't feel that way about you but still wants to be friends so they can torment you with stories about their crushes on someone who doesn't appreciate them like you do, can't love them like you can,...

In this world, all I want is to do good things for people. I saw one of my students yesterday. He's a fellow that is super nice, isn't very athletic, is kind, generous, and has a huge heart. In many ways, I want an intellgent, drop dead beautiful, sweet woman to sweep him off his feet because I know he would love the hell out...

I just watched Tv and saw the Drug commercial that implies that smoking marijuana causes rape. Two teenagers, faded and drunk at a party, sit on a couch and, through the clever juxtoposition of shots and a stark fade away, show a intoxicated girl getting felt up and (though it happens outside of the scene) raped.

"Know your dope fiend! Your life may depend on...
