Ode to the Hot Dog. AI-Generated.
Oh humble snack, so warm, so neat, A tasty treasure, a perfect treat. Nestled snug in a fluffy bun, A meal of joy for everyone.

Attitude: The Crownless King
In city suits and tinted shades, they strut with hollow pride, Their voices trimmed in accents false, their egos open wide.

Vagina: The Myth and the Mirror. Content Warning.
His Voice Oh Vagina, how you have filled my mind and soul with your addicting and enticing role. I, like many before me, have fought to master this perversion of life — Giver of life, and taker of life. The power is immense, and the power is real.

Ruby’s World
Reggae music, Diet Pepsi, sunflower seeds and a good book to read. That summed up everything Ruby Lee Spencer would need. A soul of reggae. Bob Marley was her spirit animal and love language.

Ellie May Was Never Here
You knock where no door should be, the porch sagging like a breath held too long. That gate—red as blood or barnwood after rain— moans Ellie’s name,

Earth 19: The One That Burned the Bill. Content Warning.
This is my response to the big ugly bill. Millions of Americans will lose everything. I sang the blues today. I am disabled, old, and health issues. Yes, I will lose everything if something is not done to stop the Nazis and the Rumpty Dumpty crime syndicate.

Through Time.
It seems the days are passing by so fast, and yet it's like I'm still standing in one place. I look back on all my yesterdays and the footprints that walked with me through my life. I know the spirits of every person and every animal I've ever loved are still with me — and somehow, somewhere, in some other universe, we are together again.

WE ARE NOT ANTS. Content Warning.
This was written today out of my despair that millions of vulnerable populations are on the brink of losing everything because of bullies in the Whitehouse and the ultra-wealthy will have it all as they steal from the coffers of the poor to feed the one percent billionaire bullies of crime, corruption, psychopaths, narcissists, racists, and who laugh at the poor, dying, and their bizarre hatred of us to squash us like ants. I had to write this.

Tick Tock. Top Story - July 2025. Content Warning.
This is part of Step into Echoes Beyond the Veil with Pookie & Vicki After we connected with our ancestors, my dad, and her mom I thought how thin the veil is and how the earth is spinning faster, this had to be written. It is other, time zones, tick tock clocks of time & space, birth, death, and closed & open doors. This is truth, fiction, and science fiction written in words regarding living, and the fantasy of time.
