I have a sewing machine,
It's brand, is not a Singer
Singing melodies,
Or a JUKI made in Japan
Threading with sushi strands,
But a Brother-brand sewing machine,
With no brotherhood.
Near the lever, you can see
It's Eye-- the all seeing Eye
that you see, on one dollar
Bills, with Georgie Washington
Watching you, from the white house
Painted with White Out---
whiting out an amendment:
"Freedom of Speech"
yet with the fourteenth
amendment still visible--
amongst the white marks
of the White Out
to only some--- people of Americana.
Big Brother Sewing Machine!
The Eye of its needle embroidering:
Big Brother Is Watching You.
as Aldous Huxley gently
presses the pedal,
and the lever frantically sewing,
a dystopian Non-Fiction novel.

Traveling and The Question of Niger
Traveling is a grand manner to learn within the context of an outdoor setting replacing an indoor classroom setting. I learned that I can learn beyond textbooks and desks—- I can learn without studying, I learned that learning is more than studying, it is experiencing the world! While traveling, passports are textbooks, luggages are pens to keep souvenirs and a new setting (a foreign country) is knowledge. I took the advice of my senior friend Esther Frank, whose life advice was, “to travel” while still being young when mobility can personify the word “globe-trotter” you really do trot the world when you travel and you really do move around. Now I know what a globetrotter is in every sense of the word.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Wow, so much to unpack in this poem, it reminds me of times in class when trying to understand the lines of Shakespeare! I love a good poem that makes no sense, all the more fun to decipher it 😄
