only the best

three weeks to go
how to get thru these
noisy inside ur head days
216,000 dead

there is fear
i know to choose faith
so hard to do
having been burned before

he won’t leave
after he loses
so say all
who know him

we have to believe
all of us voting
will shatter
his corrupt plans

he is a cruel man
and now very desperate
all bets are off
his last hurrah

its a musical
election night is the finale
where we weep
tears of joy

we can save ourselves
our nation
our mental health
vote him out

i haven’t written since covid hit
as fear turned over to anxiety
depression comes
i am used to these waves

i am feeling better
today for so many reasons
my octopus teacher – on netflix
soothed my soul

summer is gone
as is r queen RBG
broken hearted
dying is never easy

i am so grateful to my zoom crew
reminding me nightly
i am safe – i am loved
in this global pandemic

i bought a fit bit
to force me to face
myself – sitting
since march

ignoring my peloton
buying sugary anything
all news all day
my fit bit screams move

41 days
til we learn
if democracy
survives

vote
VOTE
vote
vote

we r strong
we can stop this
we must
we will

get together – do it in unison
stun us with ur grace
and find ur own

The Origin of Love
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

When the earth was still flat and the clouds made of fire
and the mountains stretched up to the sky, sometimes higher
folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
they had two sets of arms
they had two sets of legs
they had two faces peering out of one giant head
so they could watch all around them as they talked while they read
and they never knew nothing of love
it was before the origin of love
origin of love
the origin of love
origin of love
Well there were three sexes then
one that looked like two men glued on back to back
they were the children of the sun
and similar in shape girth were the children of the earth
they looked like two girls rolled up in one
and the children of the moon was like a fork shoved on a spoon
they were part sun part earth part daughter part son
oh the origin of love
Well the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance
and thor said i’m gonna kill them all with my hammer
like i killed the giants
but zeus said no
you’d better let me use my lightning like scissors
like i cut the legs off the whales
dinosaurs into lizards
then he grabbed up some bolts, he let out a laugh
said i’ll split them right down the middle
gonna cut them right up in half
and then storm clouds gathered above into great balls of fire
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
like shining blades of a knife
and it ripped right through the flesh
of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth
and some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole
turned it ’round to our bellies to remind us the price we payed
and osiris, and the gods of the nile gathered up a big storm
to blow a hurricane
to scatter us away
a flood of wind and rain, a sea of tidal waves
to wash us all away
and if we don’t behave they’ll cut us down again
and we’ll be hopping ’round on one foot
looking through one eye
The last time i saw you we had just split in two
he was looking at me, i was looking at you
you had a way so familiar i could not recognize
cause you had blood on your face
and i had blood in my eyes
but i swear by your expression
that the pain down in your soul was the same
as the one down in mine
that’s the pain
that cuts a straight line down through the heart
we call it love
we wrapped our arms around each other
tried to shove ourselves back together
we were making love, making love
it was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
when by the mighty hand of jove
it was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
the story, the origin of love
that’s the origin of love
oh yeah, the origin of love
the origin of love
the origin of love
