Journal: November 2025

is being determined by autocratic nationalists

Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump

learning how to play nice.

Today’s Exercise: 

use Google or your favorite A.I. bot

and ask for a description of ‘narcissistic sociopath’

and you’ll see exactly what we are dealing with.

It’s as if they could put his picture 

next to the definition in the Psychiatric Dictionary.


Tomorrow’s Exercise: 

Cognitive Decline.

No Kings Rally, October 18, 2025

7 million people marching

away from a dictator

in search of a leader

To the offices of the NFL:

please mandate that all teams

quite practicing their celebration dance routines

and start practicing tackling their opponents

After two days 

of unseasonably warm weather

the ocean fog silently drifted back 

wafting over the hills 

filling the streets

 like smoke from a chimney

and no one complained

I have become that old person

who derives a surprising amount of pleasure

by watching small sparrows in my garden

enjoying a bath, a meal, and a nap, just like me

It seems we have reached the point 

where being the only one in the waiting room 

that brought a real book to pass the time

makes you ‘old school’

I have spent a great deal of time

trying to make sense of your poetry

and I would be dismayed to find out

that was your intention

While using AI as my Editor

it told me the best part of my poem was

“the slightly cheeky last line”

thus revealing its Cambridge education
