Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way.
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles –
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

About the time that John Kerry (illegally) visited Iran, I believe this plot was hatched. China had problems with the covid and Iran has had a tough time. I believe that the Democrats, Iran, and China all had a hand in it. The only way they think that Trump voters would peel away from Trump would be getting the economy to collapse.
I think it is a mistake to make these claims. They don’t age well. Look at what people were saying back in April when the total deaths in the U.S. were under 5000. Their comments look pretty stupid and uninformed today. How does he reconcile Herma Cain’s recent death? Whay, he was already on his deathbed or it was all a lie and Mr. Cain is vacationing somewhere. How does he reconcile what happened in Italy or Belgium? Even Sweden has a very high death rate and they are not all in nursing homes. In 12-18 months we will better know what the stats are. But to make proclamations or conspiracy theories with so little facts known but yet while over a 1000 a day are dying from Covid is foolish. By the way, for what it’s worth, our death rate in four months has gone WAY past what the common flu is in a year. And it looks like it is not slowing down. Sure there is politicization of Covid but don’t conflate that with “everything is a lie”.
Simpleton sed: “…our death rate in four months has gone WAY past what the common flu is…”

We we can see where this suckerass gets it’s information from.
Someone hand me that 12 gauge over there….
This looks pretty damning to me: https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-2-69 I’m shocked this study is still on the net
Damning to Dr. Falsi, anyway. This man needs to be prosecuted for every Covid related death in this country.
Forgot to mention in previous comment: The Virology Journal is the official publication of Dr. Falsi’s very own NIH
Donald Trump and I have something in common: we both know 4 people who have died from Covid. And I share the observation he made that in all his life he’s never known anybody who’s died from the flu even though it does happen. Anecdotal? Sure. However, we do know that Covid is much more contagious than the flue. A small percentage may die, but a small percentage of a big number is still a big number. And I’m not so ready to dismiss the deaths of people with underlying conditions. My wife is 68 and has high blood pressure. There is no reason for her blood pressure alone to shorten her life. And some who don’t die suffer from a number of disabling effects.
I have no doubt that this disease is being used by the Democrats to undermine the President’s popularity. And there’s a lot of misinformationout there. But let’s sort the wheat from the chaff when assessing it’s lethal and disabling capabilities.
Nope, I don’t know 4 people that died of the Kungflu. I don’t know one person that died of the Kungflu.
I do know lots of folks that have given up living to keep from dying, and that’s rather sad.
Since they re-opened where my wife works after the first shut-down, 11 people supposedly have tested “positive cases”. No one has died. The worst 2 wwere akin to a mild flu. My wife hasn’t come down with it. I haven’t come down with it. Our family hasn’t come down with it. This doesn’t include the 3 through family mutual friends who tested “positive cases” yet had no symptoms. And our family and mutual friends mingle, and we don’t wear face diapers.
“It’s worse than the flu!”
Well, when you deliberately stack old folks homes with Corona-Cooties patients among people who already have a weakened immune system, and have 1 or more comorbidities, expect them to get infected and die. And how about… remember all those doctors and nurses proclaiming “Stop intubating/ventilating the Corona-Cooties patients! You’re killing them!” And they were called kooks and removed from social media platforms?
Which reminds me: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Vetoes Bill to Prevent COVID-19 Patients From Being Housed in Nursing Homes
And remember, doctors after doctors and nurses after nurses proclaiming “Hydroxycloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc works!” These are doctors and nurse who are doing it in real time and watching their patients recover. But no. The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex proclaim they too, are all kooks.
BTW, if I can go to the NIH website, look around, try different key words, and find Hydroxycloroquine studies on the Corona-Cooties, so can you all.
Anyone want to take a guess on how Chris “Hydroxycloroquine doesn’t work” Cuomo recovered from the Cooties? Cinchona bark extract.
The Corona-Cooties tests are notoriously inaccurate.
Everyone in our family takes C, D3, Zinc, and Magnesium. My wife and I use to travel, we have Hydroxycloroquine IF we need it.
And don’t worry, 99.96% of Americans are surviving the worst global pandemic in history.
I remember when all the usual’s were proclaiming: “Mealleons! Mealleons are going to die!”
Go ahead and get your Corona-Cooties Vaccine people. And forever change, what makes you, you. Oh. Right! You’ve all read the actual scientific papers on that right? Right? But, but… the TeeVee people said Fraud Fachi and Bill Gates said!
Blue Collar Logic is a great channel!
If Covid is such a big deal, so contagious and deadly, why isn’t it being treated like that? Why do we have governors picking and choosing which businesses to close? Why do we have certain drugs, that work well in other countries for it, banned in this one? Why are we still putting infected people in care centers and nursing homes? Why are individuals being restricted in having private funerals, but big political ones are okay?
The numbers are being pumped up, sometimes by positive tests for people that weren’t even tested. Hospitals get more money for covid patients so they tweak the numbers. Most of the country has a pretty low case load, if you take NY and NJ out of the stats. You know, the places where they didn’t shut down mass transit or even try to disinfect it regularly. The co-worker that had it said he would rather have it than the flu. Most people that test positive stay home and take over the counter meds to deal with it.
