Greatness is far away

Just a flood of magic came

Lilacs bloom

As street lamps illuminated

Thoughts of you

Things going to happen

Pink clouds

 Fog goes

I breath in the sweet vapors

Swings are moving in rhythm

Hardly average.

Oh Canada, Oh Canada!


Oh Canada, Oh Canada!


With James Joyce and Hemingway around 1935 literary coflicts were happening.

Wallace Stevens started throwing punches at Hemmingway at a party for example.

The Wasteland by Eliot was to make for a bleak vision of the future.

Yes world war two was amazingly destructive and horrifying and the flippers of the jazz age were gone.  Also sexual language in literature was widening since the  "genius" of Ulysses made it difficult to stop in court.

America was heading torwards the future in a rather dry academic way no doubt to impress the world.

Time was ending

Once upon a time

There was no stopping it

Not even insanity would win

The clock does spin.

The flute does play

How dull

How dull

Goat jumped from rock to rock

His face was smiling

Goat was in love with happiness.

The waters were dancing

And danced right off the page

To choose a life that has some pain

Yet some people are lost for pain

And there blood has ice

Has icicles

And not a bit of frosting.

I realize I have done done a little ground breaking with my fiction.

I will say it was largely situational which caused it to happen.  It was a big surprise to me.  Yes there was great ambition, but the world around me gave me amazing assistance.

How does the little crocodiles

With their shining teeth

Find a swamp to dream in

Where the fish are

Lovely fishes from fishy kingdoms

How the wind would blow them in

Like spirits from the trees

Somewhere in a swamp

The crocodiles dream.

Hundreds of Black Christian Leaders Arrive in Israel Stand for Israel | November 4, 2026 Pastors Delegation - Western Wall_28.Photo: Buksa Digital Ltd. The Unfinished Business Pilgrimage is an initiative established by the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations that will bring 500 representatives to Israel to visit biblical sites, meet with victims of the October 7, 2023, attacks, and show their support for the Holy Land and the Jewish people. The pilgrimage also honors Martin Luther King Jr.’s planned trip to Israel in the late 1960s, which never took place because of his assassination. The Times of Israel reports that hundreds of representatives have already arrived, with more expected later this week. There is a “mountain of support rising from the Black church,” says Pastor Michael A. Stevens, Sr. The leaders of the pilgrimage present gifts to victims of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, including freed hostage Elkana Bohbot; Hila Abir, whose brother Lotan was murdered at the Nova music festival; and Daniel Lischinsky, whose son Yaron was murdered alongside his fiancée Sarah Milgrim at an Israeli embassy event in Washington, DC. Ther rest of the participants arrive tomorrow, and will visit biblical sites across the country, as well as the site of the Nova massacre. Steven says that Jewish and Black Americans had a tradition of coming together to “establish what was right, and to set the tone for the nation and for the world.” “If anyone should stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters, it ought to be African Americans, it ought to be Africans,” he continues. Stevens also says the mission’s main objectives are to raise awareness of rising anti-Semitism around the world and build bridges between Black Christian leaders and the Jewish people. The Fellowship is proud to be part of this mission, with Senior Director of Outreach Pastor Roger Cheeks having helped establish the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations earlier this year. Meanwhile, both the U.S. and Israel are experiencing political developments following their respective elections. In the U.S., the Democratic Party gained control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. In Israel, President Isaac Herzog has received the results and begun consultations to determine who will receive the mandate to form the next government. He also reiterated the importance of avoiding a second election.
