Hey, hey, hear me out

Mrs. Chilewitz is simmering inside as her only son, Donald, relates to her his college crisis.
“Professor Linden said I cheated, Ma, but I didn’t. I’m telling you this not so you can talk to anyone because it’s a done deal. This isn’t a store where the customer is always right. It’s school where the teacher is always the right one.”
“How dare he accuse you. What evidence do they have?”

A book inside me,
Patiently waiting to thrill;
When will it appear?

Phantom pain of amputees
Writhe with agony,
The disquieting silence of the limbs.

Another day to memorialize
Tuesday 3/22/16
Acts of terror to desensitize.
An attack to all humanity
In the heart of Brussels,
Taking more lives again, senselessly.
When will it end?
Strike one, two, three,
Explosions in the airport and the metro station;
ISIS claims responsibility reprehensibility.
Nowhere to run from this hell storm,
Safety anywhere fast becoming a rarity,
Threats all over the world the new norm.
What will make it end?
While politicians rant,
And terrorists continue to rave.
We’re left to do the mourning chant:
How will it end?
One quarter cup of cold, leftover brewed coffee sat on my countertop. So there would be no joe left behind, I decided to experiment and make a new kind of chocolate syrup. Over medium low heat, using an 8-inch iron skillet, I melted 1-2 tbsp of shortening (Spectrum organic, non-hydrogenated oil) and dropped in a cupful of dark chocolate chips. Then I slowly added the ¼ cup brewed coffee, turning down the heat to low to avoid boiling. Once everything was melted and fully mixed, I poured the concoction into a glass bowl and timed it for about 10-15 minutes to cool down. Finally, I drizzled the “chocojoe” syrup over my vanilla ice cream, took one taste, and SMILED.

Millions of pools nationwide
Good kids, badass bets
Yo, bro’, what went wrong?
We guzzled down beers,
Shot eight balls on the green,

Pete has mixed feelings as he listens to Joe about Rose. At one time, Pete thought she was the one who would end his self-imposed celibacy. It was a close call, but now he’s glad he waited. Ironically, it was the waiting that ruined their relationship, but in many ways saved him after he found out more about her.
