Bling Bling in the ATL

Is your Commander-in-Chief here
and across the world?
Shores we face, remake
in their own grim image by
toppling, driving
us out.

Madrid, Istanbul, Jakarta, Casablanca, Riyadh, Bali.

See the images
Every picture is horrifying
suffering is real.

Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Libya

nature exploded along a busy outside
broadcast for the world
savage acts brought closer

Najaf, Samarra, Fallujah, and Mosul.
Italy, Germany, Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, Romania, Australia, United Kingdom.

Soldiers, come home.
Come home.
Wrong, wrong, wrong,
not a day longer.

Libya, the broader Middle East, Palestinian Territories Lebanon. Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Soldier, sailor, airman, guardsman,
marine women across the globe.
I thank your fire
war falls hard on the women who left
our journey.

It worries me that after 14 weeks of testimony and seven days of deliberation, the forewoman who read the jury's verdict on Michael Jackson mispronounced 'lewd.'

Sigh...

"Lud."

Loyal fans, and I know theres three of you, I think its time to take a break from the blog. Its been a lovely 10 months, and now that summer is coming back around, I need to shift my distraction offline. Back in a few.

Best,
