The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost
April is over. May moon.
How many more for my regard,
hundreds, a handful?
Better not trouble the dark water due north of north.
Better to concentrate on something close, something small.
This stick, for instance. This word.
–Charles Wright
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

I disagree strongly.
Them ain’t bees.
Them is piss-ants.
Yuge difference. YUGE!
They said Biden couldn’t be investigated because he is running for election, but Trump is running too and they investigated him.
Trump got impeached for what Biden did.
But not really.
They failed all the way around and the criminals are STILL committing their crimes.
Can anyone explain how the citizens are better off WITH a gov’t than WITHOUT?
One of Trumps lawyers said the impeachment cost $32,000,000.00 but using my well established “Rule of 8”, where everything the gov’t spends money on costs 8 times the published original cost, the cost was really $256,000,000.00. What do the taxpayers have to show for this financial burden we are expected to bear? I think that burden should be shared among the people that spent that money, not the people that did not. But then, I’m a little unusual in my thinking because I think all spending by everybody should be the same way, that is, if YOU buy it YOU pay for it, and NO, no one gets to spend money on my behalf and against my wishes. When the rules get tougher the people get sneakier.
