1) These women, these
mothers, these people.
My fellow men,
Chuck your pen, your paper and your archaic principles.
Are you afraid to bow down and relinquish control to those whom birth our population.
As if they can not make a choice.
2) In her life and in the carry give way to her.
Your archaic grip means nothing to these women.
She has always been the giver.
And it has never in no part been a shared responsibility.
3) The male simply put does not bare rights over those who bare life.
He pretends some kind of righteousness, but oh if the tables were turned.
See the many women who have stepped forward from behind the abundance of fraudulent stances taken by her opposite sex.
4) Many more coming who will tread that path.
See too those whom have never let that shadow be cast over them.
They stand sure footed to greet thier confrères.
5) Have we not learned over the thousands and thousands of years that the big swap to replace the sacred feminine with the sacred masculine can never truly happen.
That the woman’s plight was man made and oh do they know it.
6) Shame on us generations of sore losers, those of us whom are too scared to see a truth set in stone centuries before us.
As a very young boy i began to focus on what was beyond me, to what laid before my eyes which was my small world, my mother and my sisters.
7) Those women turned the needle of my adolescent compass and aimed it out far beyond them out to the whole wide world.
This world that had always looked to she though not out in front, no, not in the light of the day but behind in the shadows of our society.
8) Yet they were the ones to bare those things that needed much negotiation.
Truth.
In a debate, whether it’s the shortest or the longest, the smallest or the largest one.
9) When a choice for the thing that’s seems to be the most important matter at hand is needed, she has long before answered that query and set that answer into place.
All this before a man could hang his coat and hat on the rack.
10) They are like magic to me, these woman, these mothers, these people.
Like magic to me.
Their is no mystery to this.
It’s just the truth.
They have always been the giver.

1)The 1960’s Mother ground down with lies from the other. Unsupported by the limp society of times.
She was left alone, with three children in tow.
Curse the reality of that time.
This woman accomplished greatness.
Two jobs brought bulged veins which colored her young legs blue.
2)She did not let it cripple her.
She cricled life with female comrades and built upon that.
This woman with no formal education protected her children as she did her self worth.
She danced with her offspring to teach them how life can move if you take it on...
3) Drawn by the muffled keening like sounds in the night. I watched her through the door I cracked.
This woman, her face into her pillow unaware that her sobbing was sent through the house and invited itself into my room.
Now there my mother.
Now there was I..

1) Holy shit I'm fucking useless.
What will i do about my art?
I say to myself.
How can I possibly express my myself better?
Can i?
2) I dramatically say to myself, will I die not knowing the answer to this question?
Should I pretend as others do that they do not question their authenticity?
I tell myself this daily.
3) How in the hell can I handle my next attempt at doing my job better, the next piece better,
the next story?
Will I service that story correctly?
Can I do that in a way that is somewhat original?

1) To my old friends on the Force:
Listen please;
Police shoving a senior citizen to the ground for doing nothing while he was in a peaceful protest about police killing a handcuffed black man who was not resisting arrest.
2) This African American surrounded by three other officers who could hear this black man, our brother, your brother plead for his life.
And they do nothing, these peace makers, these who serve the people.
3) To all of you good Men and Women of the police force from all across our country whom so many I have met and spent time with.

1) As a young New Yorker, when I became part of the work force, driving trucks for delivery, labor, , cleaning crew, bussing tables, security at bars and restaurants and such.
I worked mostly with immigrants on most of those jobs.
2) I could name them by name, the folks I remember getting to know, however the list would be too long.
These people have always been the core of the work force in NYC and so many more cities in our country.
Today they are the courageous ones.
3) As I go out of the house for essentials all I see are these same faces covered by masks with their gloved hands working out there to earn a living in spite of the danger for them and their families.

1) TEARCATCHER
Journal: I was thinking about the way I look today for a long time, maybe too long. I was out and about by the pond in the park. I was thinking about how people perceive me, how people see me.
2) I know that they use their eyeballs to see me, but I thought today I’d take the question a bit further, a bit deeper.
I thought I’d just take a while and think about what more is there past the eyeball and eyeball socket and stuff.
3) What do people really see when they look at me with their eyeballs resting in their eye sockets?Do they see the real me? The pretty one; Vincent, the pretty one?

1) A death in a family is a complex change in that family.
The emotion we each feel differently simply because of the loss can be enormous.
Other complexities like having to deal with the history of that persons life up to their death may come rushing forward.
2) Events and conflict from long ago.
Events and or a conflict that may have effected each of us differently and commonly has molded us into who we are.
Whether we like it or not.
Or whether others like it or not.
The question that comes to mind will change in us happen now.
3) I think some kind of change is not automatic but in some situations important for the families survival, a healthy survival.
Especially if the member of that family that passed away was the monarch so to speak or matriarch of that family.
All “things” may lead to them.
