Occupy the Nation for Change

I find it so upsetting when people dismiss the Occupiers as those who don’t pay taxes, as bums, as liberals or hippies. This movement is so much bigger than taxes or a bail out! This is a BEAUTIFUL time because people are ACTING for what they want. And to think there is an opposition from others who are also unhappy with government, trying to classify the Occupiers as a specific genre of unappealing people, is saddening, DISHEARTENING, when we should all be convening for the betterment of our nation because it is in DIRE STRAITS.

“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety,
prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private
interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone
have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute
government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their
protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it”. John Adams 1776

Brooklyn expectations

I yearn to lick the cold night of a Brooklyn skyline, taxi exhaust, 22 year old gum residue on cement walls, bathroom stalls telling the story of a million hands–scanning foreign eyes from faraway lands,
convening
at the
epicenter
of life.

Music’s muse

I’m looking for a girl
with rock’n'roll hair,
Eyes of coal,
shoulders bare:

skincandescent.

In the waves of her hair hides the soul of sound,
each strand, a chord,
a step toward
the infinite truth.

She dances, not to the beat of the drum,
but to the sway in the strings.

She wants to
feel
the raw bone
of musical
erection
kneading her
hips to
move;
she answers

kindly.
