In the Spirit of What Is Yet to Come ~ Thursday, October 23, 2025

This is a book I cannot write but not
however because I do not know how
in fact, I have written multiple books
still, certain subjects remain off limits

indeed because dysfunctional families
suffer an endless game of shame and blame

arguments arise without referees

because who wants to get involved in this
obviously, this is fun for no one
obviously, this will resolve nothing
kindness heals as a topical ointment

I must persist to talk and not to talk

cancel the movie, go to a meeting
anonymity, the only recourse
no communication, no steps forward
no steps forward, decades lost in meetings
obviously, there is a point to this
to life itself, not to suffer in hell

witness the past to let go and move on
reality sets in, no guidance found
if things were otherwise but they were not
times and people were different back then
even if we could return to the past

but in the heat of the moment what sense
understanding, context and perspective
to change and make the past better for all

not without the ghosts of past and future
obviously, as the ghost of present
time, I cannot write a book no one reads
