Embraced (Blogophilia 9.6)

Ideas
Flying
Into the ether

Only thing
Left is
A hard shell

Time stands
still as
I wonder

Can it
Bring me
to life now

Slippers
Of Glass
Siding off

Her feet
As we
Lie embraced

    The screen play has at least 2 flash backs maybe. Is that what the pic looks like? A park bench? Those song titles surely do lend to romance

      At first, I thought it was a garden bench. Now it looks more like a Victorian loveseat.

In Honor of Al Jaffee

The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics.

Sipping on her gimlet, it seemed like she had never left.   The Musak was mostly Sinatra and the political types still hung to their tables like they were still in high school.   Tony, the manager, gave her a peck when he saw her and said she could come back to work any time.   No.   She’d had en...
