TINNITIS

TINNITIS @ 70

I hear high whistling in my ears as

I turn 70. My HMO audiologist says
not to obsess about it, so I'm trying

not to, but it's steadily buzzing, : 

there, whereever there is, buzzing

like a fluorescent-fixture ballast. Will 
it buzz temporarily, or indefinitely.?

M@ttered

As our World ended, I wound an old watch
or thought I did, unsure what time it was,
or what time-zone I was in, as if
.
Time & Matter didn't matter; anybody 
blame Higgs' Boson, or Harold Camping
for our no longer winding watches?

Obliter@ted

On my 70^th birthday,

I suppress my tears

@ our Sun's implosion 

in only 5 billion years,

the JESUS-app.

THE JESUS-app.

How deeply is the Jesus-app.

embedded if, when, & once 

you’ve been raised a Christian?

The Roman Catholic church

has always held that baptism

leaves an indelible mark.

Is long/wet exposure as deep

as earnest conversion?

'Supermoon' g@zing

Like a Moon devotee, I sat outdoors last nite outside Dr. Ginny's 'semi-detached 'cottage' here in Santa Clara watching it from 8:30-9:30+pm PST with Ginny & Tom Friedrich, wrapped in blankets, sharing a small S.F.-style sourdough bread boule
  

MITT MOCKS "FORWARD"

MITT MOCKS “FORWARD”
PONDERS “PROGRESS”
(AP - newspoem)

Speaking to a group of high-dollar
donors @ Arlington VA’s Ritz-Carlton,
Mitt poked fun at President Obama's
newly-unveiled campaign slogan:

"Forward" -  "Forward, what?
over the cliff?" Mitt muddled
Obama’s campaign slogan:
"His new slogan is: Progress?

No, forward. Forward! That's it!
Progress would be better; I might
even use that one myself, actually.”

Donors paid $2,500 - $10,000
depending on access wanted.

This is the first the Romney campaign
allowed any kind of access to the media:

2 print-pool reporters were allowed inside
on behalf of all national print journalists,

but only to hear Romney's remarks
at the general reception, not
several smaller meetings.
