In December of '98 and January of '99, the creek got up to within a foot of the bridge and stayed there for days, it seemed.

Balance In His Favor
He was always there
He was never too busy
He loved doing it
He did it well
People loved what he did
They liked the way he did it
They praised him to the sky
But they cursed his outlook wry
He cared not what they said
Though he carries it in his head
He deserves some slack from us
He is not some ornery cuss

That poem was about Werner, not Jerry. :0)
Take it, boys.[Click to View YouTube Video]"Say there boys, what's the longest drive y'all been on?"
"Well, I recollect one tee shot off the tenth at Sundial, ball hit on the cart path and kept rollin' till next Sunday. Used a spoon. I don't know how far it went but it took me the whole week to catch up to it. Think I'll have me some more o' them beans."

Dante Alighieri was the first dreadnought battleship built for the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy), and completed in 1913.
The ship served as a flagship during World War I, but saw very little action other than the Second Battle of Durazzo in 1918 where she did not engage enemy forces.
She never fired her guns in anger during her career.
Dante Alighieri was refitted in 1923, stricken from the Navy List in 1928 and subsequently sold for scrap.
Gross materialists go someplace else. Probably in Ring Number Two with the gluttons.

To short but makes its point & is For all Yogi every where
removed? the subtle sitar was some of the best I heard

This, in its own twangy harmonizing way more than makes up for that[Click to View YouTube Video]
Next He'll Be Tell All It's A Flat Choou Lence World
Un`dhe, maga morons, They'll believe that Too
Diseased, I Yell Ya
I might Try -Try As I Might
Be it trash
seen by all as trivial
be it
metaphysical
for want of words
that would define
pigeon-hole so confine
Repeated conversation
repeated condemnation
By the use of a catchphrase
deployed, weaponized
Used to bring about no good
Emphasizing the worst
Not Synonym, Not Antonym
not oxymoron, well some of him. . .
The direct inverse of what was spewed
bought hook line & sinker
At the end, history foretells it,
the fools on the hill resent & reject it
there will be no recognition
of the death of the frog in the hot water
or the cats in the box, we are them
and My friends, we are them
there is no looking the other way
And as hard as it is we must look
At It destroy the orange reptile
 we feline and amphibian
the spice of life is diverse
we can not go back to all white
dominant power
the immigrant class
The jhude in this holocaust
has no voice, is used as the point of the wedge
the weapon that is killing US
but it is beyond perverse that
stupid is allowed to reign
After a campaing to ruin public education
That now the hero worship of this POS, POTUS
akin to drinkin' to much gin
Will incur the wrath of - if there is one
she is all mighty pissed

The Band Fronda (SWEDISH)
the song (to close to rap, but still, ugh the words)
UNDERBAR
Okay, true story, yeah
She was 17 years old, just 99 pounds, skin and bones
But mirror eats up all the positives that she sees
Leave me alone, for I can't any more
Two, fingers in throat throwing up my problems
So spitting out shame, she's living with an enemy
Living with a pitch-black feeling so obnoxious, but
feeling like death's knocking on when you are alone
I cut myself and escape from the feeling
Imagine a bunch of people gathering around you
And points out all your fault as a pattern
Therefore I stay at home, lock myself in the room
It feels a little safer, living life through my window
Have poor situation with money, can't follow trends
And don't do what will make most of your friends disappear
Sleepless, hope dropped out
The first chance it got, so I feel on the bottom tonight
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
Having a father that is world's largest egoist
He fell in love with alcohol, taking the family last
I would like to say that I don't care at all
A solitary bird carrying way too big branch
Our lives can feel empty and staged
Think if we are already dead, this is the place to punish us
It eats me up inside, self-esteem
Located in the ventilator injured and waiting
The positive little girl has disappeared
The gaze is empty, chapter 17 is only darkness
Why is mirror playing a game against me
Why does life cry, while death always smiles at me
How should I behave in social situations?
When body is panicking and brain wants to play on the same band
I hate that I hate myself, am tired of being tired
Loneliness seduces me, every day I step up
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
It feels like first day of school, even though every day
The nervousness kidnaps my stomach back and forth
If I could trust myself and stop looking for answers
Maybe you would see me as someone just as good
An invisible 17-year-old would be everyone's dream
But not in this way, the ship has run aground
Don't let me sit by myself today again
Don't let me meet my thought that follows me from home
All eyes in the hallway are like a stab to the thighs
It's stuff like that that make me consider a trip to the stretcher
Teen years, as they would be any good
Why they move me, when bullies can stay?
But I understand them, it must be my fault
Must be my disgusting self that puts me sidelined
There's nothing going up, everything goes down
Best that I sneak into the room and write my letter
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
You are beautiful as you are, you must be what you are
There's nothing wrong with you, it's the world that's wrong today
Tie both fists and focus on something good
Because deep down you know that they are wrong and you are wonderful
What?
Its for the Home Slice,
The Danberrians. period,
Taconians* & Flamez carry on
As so much flys by
just flys
going by so fast
Going bye-bye, past
some things banal & somethings trash
A few important & poignant,
sad but crucial to see
& take in to try to understand
Not to be- get passed over,
and go by without scrutiny.
It seems this way most
when it -has to- not be,
I'm trying, sometimes, in these pages
to help others
Some unseen lurker who will never post here
This is a link to a previous page in the Flames where the above is also posted, giving what is posted -there- proper context.
Maybe a bit overly dramatic for all but one or two people.

In Canned Essence
Lacking the vital thing as yet, the poem abides on the top pantry shelf of my mind.
It sits there unopened but pregnant with promise.
The label is torn off for good measure, "To be opened at a future date" scrawled in fairy dust on the lid.
What is seen from the outside is what there is, but will it still be palatable when opened at last?
This is why I never keep things too long.
Into the garage, out to the dumpster, off to the midden:
Let someone else find it in a thousand years or never, tasting my thoughts and having my dreams.

There is much to be desired in succinctness, Gnome. Keep at it.

I drove the lane once on Hambone Williams
Scored too
So it was a non-stopper all the way
Didn't even think of trying it on Sidney Wickes
Nobody did in pickup games at UCLA when Kareem was Lew
I also drove (or rode) over Keith's Drive In and had a gun pulled on me and a couple of other fellows. It was not on the day shown below.
