THE SLUMS
:
That should be obvious
Of course it won't
Any fool knows that.
Even in the winter.
Consider for a moment.
What?
Consider what!
They never have.
Why now?
Certainly it means nothing.
It's all a lie.
What else could it be?
That's right.
Sure.
Any way you look at it.
A silk hat.
A fat belly.
A nice church to squat in.
My holy ass...
What should they care about?
It's quaint.
Twelve kids on the fire escape...
Flowers on the windowsill...
You're damn right.
That's the way it is.
That's just the way it is.

PASTORAL
:
The Dove walks with sticky feet
Upon the green crowns of the almond tree,
Its feathers smeared over with warmth
Like honey
That dips lazily down into the shadow ...
:
Anyone standing in that orchard.So filled with peace and sleep,
Would hardly have noticed the hill
Nearby
With its three strange wooden arms
Lifted above a throng of motionless people
- Above the helmets of Pilate's soldiers
Flashing like silver teeth in the sun.

[20.11]: Goin' out but, before a few lines before bed, ...God, and me, willing. [Back, 21:02].
Sorry about the weekend, and no promised, Plant a Seed, or, Sunday School on Truthscoop.
Back-up machine down, Friday night, tired and clumsy, go and spill something on the lap-top. Cordial, and not much, but..., too much. Made by Lenovo, although not a Think-Pad, which would have remained 'working'; Post, quick shut-down, and day/night to dry.
All my access to email, blogs, —fried in juice.
Didn't write over the weekend. Ne'er do, 'write' and 'for later'.
Freestyle and fresh, UP...
"I likes it".
Last night, inspired to do a playlist, For Alex.
As for t'day?
Tons and practical stuff until later tonight. But-be, comin' at ya...
This week on Plant a Seed: Text/writing, nah else.
Exception? A graph, and verse from GOD.
"Alright Alright", Allegedly: ***
Keep the 'bookends'/ 'top and tail', videos.
Better be, extra hot. To follow the song and post' title; one to, write ((?), "if ya lucky..?"), on.
