My Little Old
Lady
by Jessica
Aden
Every
morning as I drive down Lincoln
Blvd;
There she
is
Sitting at the bus
bench
Looking stylish as
ever
Ragged fur coat, bottle bleached hair,
and her only possession
Revlon red
lipstick
She had ventured to California years
ago, Venice to be exact
to become a famous
starlet
Then something happened...
something just went wrong...
Her jaded
expression and squeaky little voice always
brightened
up any day, as I sit through
neverending Monday morning
traffic
Never moving an inch from that
bus bench at lincoln and California
in the
last two years,
One day she
gone...
Every night as I go to bed, I
wonder where my little old lady ventured off
too
I
wonder if she finally became the star she always wanted to
be...
I know one thing for
sure,
Wherever she is, she’s sitting in
the bright sunlight, wearing her ragged
old
coat and her Revlon Red lipstick in
hand,
Ready to apply at any given
time.

S. Thompson...RIP
We have
become a Nazi monster in the eyes of
the
whole
world--a nation of bullies and bastards
who
would rather kill than live peacefully.
We are not
just Whores for power and oil,
but killer whores with
hate and fear in our
hearts. We are human scum, and
that is how
history will judge us...No redeeming
social
value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or
we'll kill you.
Who does vote for these
dishonest shitheads? Who
among us can be
happy and proud of having this
innocent
blood on our hands? Who are these swine?
These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced
and
fooled by stupid rich kids like George
Bush?
They are the same ones who
wanted to have Muhammad Ali
locked up for
refusing to kill gooks. They speak for
all
that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the
American character. They are the racists and
hate
mongers among us--they are the Ku Klux
Klan. I piss
down the throats of these
Nazis.
And I am too old to worry about
whether they like it
or not. Fuck
them.
