Topic Author's Original Post - Jun 17, 2017 - 09:32am PT
in my literary travels i stumbled across this
Tibetan word: "gnaskor," which means "in no haste. without gainful destination."

i clamped my mind around it, saw it's soul, and fell in love with it.

as our relationship matured, i met her overseas american cousin,

nascar. which means, "dumb f*#ks strung out on petrol hurriedly chasing coin"

ha. the planet is spun. it needs to adjust so Tibet is beneath
my feet and america is at my hull.

welcome back, my friend.

And then there's the rat race-going nowhere fast.

Got a call from my NV neighbor the other day. Seems the freak, wet and heavy snow of last weekend brought down many or most of the fully leafed branches surrounding my high desert oasis. Going down tomorrow for other tasks and I'll assess the damages as I clean up. If the neighbors assessment is correct I might have to employ your services.

Roman numbers get a +I

However, this reincarnate sawyer/poet is an improven entity, so far.

Pardon my skepticism, please, weej-fans.

All the same, Happy Fathers' Day, Chuck.

Good to see you're here again.

Welcome back indeed!

Our very own poet of the preverse in free verse was badly missed in the interim. We are all Grateful...


All the bears are dancing except one.


And many fuks shall be given!


Ancient sanity is a many splendored thing.
