City in the Rain
affects our perception
we see the reflection
of clouds in the street
the buildings
the lamp posts
the signs and the people
the beautiful canvas
that's under our feet
it's lucid and beautiful
weird, wet and wonderful
kind of exceptional
sort of a treat

AI or Barcelona
Scrolling merrily through my daily scroll
on my phone or my computer screen
killing time, deferring all my goals
I see images I've never seen
of buildings that are fanciful and bold
defying architectural conventions
they change the paradigm, they break the mold
Brobdingnagian, Seussian inventions
Are they real, how can we even tell?
Our visual senses aren't enough alone
but, here's a rule of thumb that serves quite well:
either it's AI, or Barcelona

re Pronouns
has anyone been able to be
a she if he was born a he
or the other way around
we find ourselves, linguistically
upon uncharted ground
As to pronouns, you can choose
whichever one you want to use
but make up new ones, I'll refuse
because they aren't there
(if you want to use them among yourselves
then I don't really care)

I write on many different topics. If you hate me for the one above, I am sure you'll find some at this site you will like.
not everyone needs to have kids
the world would be a very crowded place
if we all did

Hi, there!
I am a 70 year old man, born in the Midwest (Iowa) but living in Prague, Czech Republic for more than a quarter century. Married with two nearly adult children. I write poetry and a lot of my posts here will be just that.
I also comment frequently on politics, where I would label myself as a very reasonable, middle of the road kind of guy, but in today's political climate most would label me a screaming left wing lunatic. Nations and religions are only sources of conflict and should not exist. It's a wealthy world and nobody should have to live in poverty. Education should be free and unlimited and cars and guns are horrible things that kill people. I smoke a shitload of weed and watch way too much TV.
