  4. The Silver Strand

    returning 
    to the car
    i see
    a silver strand
    intent on
    capturing me

    i was gone
    but a moment
    yet the spider
    did spin
    from the mirror
    across the window
    to lure
    me in

    it seems
    this small one
    dreams of
    bigger prey
    so too I
    if to my path
    I stay

    this bit
    of web
    is a
    flimsy thing
    but if
    I cast
    it not
    i snare
    nothing

  5. Broken Chair

    I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

    But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

    Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

    It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

    Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

    It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

    I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

    I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

  7. Western liberals: "Capitalism is not the problem. The problem is crony capitalism. What we need is 'real' and 'fair' capitalism where large corporations don't have so much of the market share."
    'Yeah, bruh! Cancer is not the problem. The problem is stage 4 cancer. What we need is stage 2 cancer.'

  14. Bullet the Blue Sky*

    I went outside 
    to watch the 
    stars.
    
    It is as if 
    all the bullets 
    from the war 
    have been fired 
    into the sky,
    tearing holes 
    in the black velvet 
    for a little bit 
    of heaven 
    to shine 
    through.
    
    Every once 
    in a while 
    the fabric rips 
    as a shooting star 
    races across 
    the sky,
    but then 
    it quickly 
    mends 
    itself.
