THE MOST OF IT by Robert Frost
He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff’s talus on the other side,
And then in the far distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush–and that was all.
NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
Beneath the Aegean
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
Your Say
Song of Myself
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
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

Quoting one of your recent vids, what great fuckery this is!
Wait till we have just Democracy; a capital D good and hard. The rule of a million kings. George Orwell almost got there: this is logarithmically worse. These are the ones who want your electoral votes obliterated. They want to override constitutional truths with a simple majority vote (no cheating…)
My skin is crawling.
I know what you mean, Casey. That caldera that Ghostsniper was talking about is starting to sound like a good option.
JWM
Casey,
Logarithmically or exponentially?
I remember well that dripping drek with her giant gavel and her trained negro marching in to deliver the giant FU to America that was obamacare. She delights in shoving her contempt for America straight into our faces. I hope she meets the fate she deserves.

Applying a signature to a legal document with multiple pens as shown in the vid is not legal.
Why?
It’s not a signature, and any 4th grader that has endured penmanship class (Do they do that any more? They did when I was in 4th grade.) knows it. Next time you sign a legal document, like say, on a real estate bank loan, stop in the middle of the sig and use another pen and see what happens. How do I know this? While signing a real estate contract I had a pen start to skip and fade. My attorney drew a line through my sig and initialed it, then I had to sign it again with another pen underneath it. Then his secretary notarized it. There used to be a reason for laws, but today, I’m not so sure. I do know one thing, there are way, way, way too many laws now. They could cancel at least 99% of all the laws and it wouldn’t effect me, nor most other people, one iota.
Oh, I don’t doubt you at all, Ghost. Back in the days of the mortgage armageddon, I did some work for Wells Fargo cleaning up mortgage docs that were less than perfectly stellar. Hah, little did we know then, that the chain of ownership on so many of them was not just incomplete, it was fraudulent. I think it was in your neck of the woods that some judge finally threw up his hands and declared a bunch of mortgages to be legally unenforceable, and awarded a bunch of homeowners their deeds, free and clear.
But this horse is ex-barn, long ago and far away. I think it was Lyndon Johnson that started the 40-pens-to-sign-a-bill routine. Mind you, it’s the first time I’ve seen the speaker do it. I’ve never even seen a house speaker sign anything but the chit for his meal in the dining room.

Prayer for President Donald Trump in the days of this false and malicious impeachment
“No weapon that is formed against him shall prosper.
Every tongue that rises against him in judgment he shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.”
“Love prepares a table before him
in the presence of his enemies.
Love anoints his head with oil.
His cup runs over.
Truly, goodness and mercy shall trace his path
all the days of his life.”
Isaiah 54 and Psalm 23

Thanks, Kansas. Right.
Casey,
Sorry, I was not trying to correct you. Now I look like an ass. Respectfully sir!
dilys,
I pray for our President every day. King David was far more imperfect than Orange Man, but both have been called upon and been blessed by Him.
Gordon,
The company I work for has very strict rules for any hand written additions to a working traveler. Black ink, print, single strike through on items requiring correction with properly accompanied date and initial. Gubmint contractor audits would frown on anything that could be interpreted as falsification.
