NEEDY ONES AND THEIR NEEDS

 

COMMON NEEDS

an older man

standing at a windy corner

shuffling

with each gust

talking to the wind

asking for ticket money

to take the bus somewhere

elsewhere

any other where

thinking of a small family

in a small house

somewhere with no wind 

I lent him the ticket fare 

and was blessed

next day

there was an elderly man

at same corner

doing a different shuffle

needing ticket fare 

for the bus home

to the same town

not too far

but very far

when you think of his need

in the wind

the same wind

making me shuffle my feet

told this story 

when I needed ticket fare

to take me home 

to my needs

so that I can part with them

and stop shuffling 

and tell the wind

I do not need any more

SENILITY PRETENDING TO BE SENIORITY

Understanding a Nobel Winner's Neurons

Between Cornwall and Ireland

Cats are ansome

even the females

when they stretch and yawn 

in response to your greeting

in the morning 

or

totally fearless 

like the one in a box 

full of mysterious functions

yet immortal as other creatures

in many a multiverse

still and writhing to be discovered

and identified

and petted

and admired

Will America be humiliated?

Countries, lands and states cannot be a subject to a psychological concept.

Leaders and people may be humiliated but only if they and the public opinion of a larger group of people believe that. S&M does not apply to countries.

A government and people that believe they are empowered by their god and by their culture to always blame others, invade, manipulate, falsify. usurp, torture, kill, hate, punish their own country and people as well as other countries and peoples cannot be humiliated.

Humiliation can only be a label, tag or ruling by scholars after the demise of the empire just like most other anthropomorphic adjectives.

This has been true for all empires in history.
