“It doesn’t look too far up Joey, I think we can make it”.

“I don’t know, it’s getting dark already and mom is sure to want us home!”

“Don’t be a wuss, Joey. We saw what we saw and I want to check it out!”

“I’m not a wuss, but mom is going to be mad!”

“Are you coming or not?”

The ten year old twins struggled up the hill trying to find what they thought they saw, a flying saucer. After an hour of searching and finding no evidence, they went home. Neither boy told their mom of their adventure when they walked in the door. It was only after they settled in their bunk beds staring out at the night sky that they saw it again. A streak of light zooming across the sky from an oval shaped silver object.

Both boys hurriedly scrambled under their covers.

Went to WY DOT and got a new state ID😄. Easy at 11:00 – no huge crowd or lines to contend with. We were only four mask wearers since it’s no longer required. Whole process took an hour. Great seeing grands today🥰. Now it’s on to Phase 2 and 3 – new SS card and Medicare🤞🏻🤞🏻

He had a point:

“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right.”

An experiment gone wrong

A stairway abandoned

Poseidon had decided only the sea would be their home.

She sat, biting her nails, as the questions made her teary

The doctor’s mind control technique was making her too weary

The past belonged right where it was, in the past where she wanted

Incessant reminders from the doctor relentless and undaunted

Why now these questions, as she struggled to find some clues

She thought the doctor’s methods were of her mother’s ruse

Years of hidden acts that were now named abuse

She never would answer about the terrible truths.

Earliest sunshine

Promises colorful days

Even a spring rain

Won’t dispel the happiness

Of a peaceful setting sun

Misplaced caution, plied by an unfamiliarity with liquor that caused her to wilt, a suddenly undressed breast, round and smooth, projected waves of sweated heat. With fireflies in a swirl around a heavily scented penumbra of damp gardenias, he was succeeding. The hot summer evening was going as planned.
