The Book of Daniel and Da Bears ~ Saturday, November 29, 2025

I am sorry to inform you, the world

as you once knew it, is long gone, just smoke
mirrors to divert your rapt attention

sorry but the government does not care
only wants to waste your time and money
rest assured, you have nothing worth taking
remember there is not one solution
yes, nothing to emancipate your mind

tragic, I know but get over yourself
only you can solve the riddle to life

invite all your friends over for a beer
not just one beer, who could stop at just one
for God's sake, if you believe in football
only, try not to mistake it for Mass
really, after forty years, who would think
maybe I should not say a thing, the jinx

yes, the walls have mice and the mice have ears
only, to win it all in Chicago
understand, bigger than the lottery

take a note, anything is possible
how things change for a city comes with sports
exactly, you never believe a word

written on the wall by the hand of God
or believe whatever you want, the scales
remain balanced until they are upset
let the Pope decide what the future holds
disappointment comes, no matter, stay calm

Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge ~ Friday, May 30, 2025

Professor Miłosz answered my question reserved with but one word, 'Daimonion' obligations to respond to students forgave him for reflux indigestion ever more witty than a Cheshire cat such a response like peeling an onion strange to hear what inspires a profound sense of history and philosophy, deep rivers flow to offer one time at bat Moments come and evaporate, to seize in my youth the mystery of being łodzianin , The Promised Land , a breeze of less than fresh air blows mortals fleeing socialism into the deepest sleep ziemia obiecana , what does this mean answers in his History unfold time nothing escapes Polish Literature save for the Catastrophe , the unseen wisdom, impossible to grasp, then guides experience through right and wrong, as crime removes the stain of corruption, unsure existentialists adopt Marxism despite the deep divide taking both sides music to post-Stalinist ears, the Thaw yet, thirty-five years later, with the Fall questions of ...

Poor Axle Hole ~ Monday, June 30, 2025

Allegedly, we are all, already lighter than air, in the atmosphere, float lifted on buoyant bubbles of root beer enlightenment a dream, are you ready get out your magic carpet for a ride ending the reign of saṃsāra , the boat decides all fate, all connections, no fear life goes on for billions of years, the sun yes, will become a red giant, such pride wet behind the ears, no tears, we were cool every summer at the beach, on our bikes all day long, no worries, play pocket pool ride our beach cruisers back home, no one likes empty pockets, no cash, no change, no fun are you ready for mokṣa , for release leave it all behind, nirvāṇa , let go let Baruch HaShem , blessed be the name answer all the questions, for I seek peace liberation, salvation, suffering ripens into soft pears, this much I know everyday, a blessing, I feel no shame alive and well, a miracle, I bring desire to an end, if I borrow your ears to hear, duḥkha ends with sorrow
