               Depression is sadness gone riot.

he knew a bit about that

not a personal depression hed been blue

blue aint depressionnot by his standards

                                            hed seen severe deep dark depression eye to eye

it deflects humour

he used to be able to make her split a gut

                                           shed told him That’s what I love best about you, how you make me laugh.

wasnt that part of their vow

he vowed

she did too

depression erodesdisavows promises

he didnt have a god

                      she did

he partook in a rite

church ceremony obedience was in her blood bloodied literally her parentsher extended family were church elders they enforced religion made it a point since she was a little girl old enough to understand

he otherwise had slipped church its indoctrination its infection while he was young

                                                                                       didnt look back  found Drugs

found Music

they helped offset the steady barrage he endured at the hands of familial Faithfuls

what helped most

                     he was big and strong he didnt suffer fools   gladlyhad to include gladly

she Believed

he did not try to change her 

she was devotedworked her ass off trying to change him

                                                            My love I told you I didnt believe  I really hope you didnt think I would be a project  If thats true then this aspect of our lives must be terribly difficult for you   Thats your error

If too much there is civil recourse  a remedy

he was honest

he was honest as she said . . . to the point of cruelty

he honestly disagreed

she Believed until she didnt

her death was hard on him

   he wept

             he was blue

he went to update Trumpvirus this evening to record American deathshed say  murder

                                                                                          but a not-so-funny thing happened

he discovered he was in error

when last he wrote 17April

                              there was 1,219,487 American deaths

he was terribly encouraged  the daily average deaths had fallen precipitously to 59 deaths

though in fact

               recognising the onemilliontwohunrednineteenthousandfourhunredeightytseven deaths

his statistics were incomplete

April 14 15 16 17  four days were not recorded

on 13March he cited that 1,217,554 Americans had died

                                                            over eleven days 1,253 deaths

on gruesome average 114 Americans dead

returning this evening to Worldometer where he learned of American deaths American murders for two years he discovered this:

“NOTE: As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer being updated due to the unfeasibility of providing valid global totals, as the majority of countries have now stopped reporting. However, historical data remains accessible. Worldometer delivered the most accurate and timely global statistics to users and institutions around the world atatime whenthis was extremely challenging. We thank everyone who participated in this extraordinary collaborative effort.

   Well never know how many Americans Trumpvirus murdered

shed known that for years or since people began becoming enamoured by technology pursued by algorithms

                        shed not been led by the nose by advertising or contemporaries keep up with the Joneses to want something so badly to become indebted or was compulsive snatched up something to fulfill some kind of despotic wantNEED  NEED was her clarion call

AI is the bright shiny side of things the brilliantmirror that someone looks into and sees themselves

like a coin she flipped it over and gazed at it underbelly

whenever she looked it was darker than she imagined

which informed her while considering something to turn it roundanround 

                                                                            spoiling her enamoured family and friends fun

   Im just saying

Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor asked the wrong question Thursday during formers immunity hearing

she asked  “If a president decides his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts that for which he can get immunity?”

what she should have asked was “If a president decides a judge is a corrupt person . . .”

Yes. You fail to mind where you put your feet down.

Yes

     Its critical to defy boundaries

Status quo breeds festers because its unchallenged

                                                       When out of whack the only way I know to expose it is to posit it against extreme propositions  Make it pale impale it

Hold it up high for all to see
