The Ghost of Charles De Gaulle
Appearing to the "fashionably late"
Better than a state of denial
Is today's kindler gentler fate
"To Have and Have Not"
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall
In the 21st Century that movies about
making a somewhat different call
In the movie, not such a heretic
Bogart has no need of France
He can return to America
Claim yet another chance
Asymmetric
Sympathetic
Magic
The ghost of Charles De Gaulle
Like "Big Brother" in Orwell
It will not make millions and millions
I will have a life outside of Hell
At the end of the movie
He has the girl, the boat and the friend
I am not by poverty caught
I can make the due amend
Maybe I become the Bogart of poetry
Play in a new power couple on the sax
Life is not always reduced to chemistry
Some questions better not ask
Charles De Gaulle rose from the dead
So a new lover need not meet dread
Back then we knew how to make movies
that actually had advanced thought
I hope it is like the Paul McCartney song a couple of days ago
De Gaulle fighting all the bullies that we here know
I hope he has a punch left to "stick it to them"
I do not want Edgar Allan Poe only to talk in the eight grade
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr left better things said

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
