A Winter Valentine

it always seemed to be
right out the chute
we're mired in the sand
and the rescue rope
you threw to me 
only left its burns on my hands 

sometimes you  seem
like time standing still
it never does for me
there's not much more to say
when I built it all up
just to watch it blow away

lately we've been like
that fading bird in the sun
we found under that tree
it's hard to get close
even harder to read
what you wrote for me


sometimes you  seem
like time standing still
it never does for me
there's not much more to say
when I built it all up
just to watch it blow away



if i could you know 

i'd catch you when you run
to keep you forever in my arms

sometimes you seem
like time standing still
it never does for me
there's not much more to say
when I built it all up
just to watch it blow away

The first blizzard of the season is on its way.  When I worked in the grocery business days like today, the proverbial "calm before the storm", we would be slammed.

Nothing is safe. They have to stock up. They fill their carts with the abandonment of a contest on that old game show "Supermarket Sweep". Except this was real life. This was bloodsport. Most people these days are already pretty well stocked due to carrying extra inventory in the pandemic. In the spring we could not get supplies and were dealing with the first real shortages in our lives. People older than us had experienced worse I am sure. But fighting over toilet paper? That is not an issue right now. But the panic is still out there I am sure.  We get our groceries delivered...

Who else is sick and tired of the bullshit that is being spewed on us every friggin day by the most incompetent so-called "president" this country has ever witnessed? As I type this they are reporting over 43,000 Americans have died since February 29 from the coronavirus. We have a baby man throwing temper tantrums on Twitter who only cares about himself as more and more Americans die. Schools in my state were just closed until June , having already been close since March 13, one of at least 34 states to do so. Meanwhile the elected leader of the country is laying out plans to reopen and then immediately tweeting against HIS OWN PLANS. When does this madness end? What will it take?
