THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF STRAWBERRIES...AND YOU


It being in season, 
I went to buy some fruit today.
Thought that I smelled your scent,
and turned
Around
To see...

And you were nowhere

Instead, I saw strawberries
And recalled the round softness
Of you.
Mounds
Dotted with freckles...
Like yours

I held a berry
And recalled 
The little hairs
As I ran my fingers over them

I licked 
The juice that covered
Our lips – 
Mine and yours – 
And it was at once sweet
And salty

And I put the strawberries back
On the rack
For others to enjoy

Content to savor
My fill 
Of our memories 
Instead

JD Vance should write a poem about his couch.

I have been targeted for the color of my skin here on the border. Let's not downplay this shit.

No one I think is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad

Why is Trump's face getting more and more orange?

Peso presenta volatilidad por nuevas amenazas de Trump

Aunque en las primeras horas del día el peso mostró señales de recuperación, conforme avanzó la mañana perdió fuerza frente al dólar.

How much more evidence does Congress, the house, the senate, and the Supreme Court need to get rid of this clown.

The Republicans always do this. Sometimes, they get tired or to keep people content, and they let the Democrats win.

Who gives a shit about the color of the presidents face?

This so called clown is winning big for the people of this country. You don't see it because of your indoctrination. This president is doing exactly what he promised. What did the Biden administration ever do but give the taxpayers money away. Lastly, who ran this country during the Biden administration? His wife? Obama?

Good luck with that thought.
