1- A story must be told or there’ll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving. – J.R.R.Tolkien

2- art goes backward and
forward, borrowing from
then to find a new now.

3- Wouldn’t it have been easier
for Trump, who doesn’t like losing,
to have just conceded to Biden
instead of going on to lose more
and more each new day. Is this
the reward due sore losers?

1- I haven’t a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices whatsoever. – Mark Twain

2- some days seem to pass
at the slow speed of stationary
object’s shadows in sunlight.

3- Trump has tried the courts
and failed. I guess the only
option now is open rebellion
and a coup.

1- When I was young I was told: “You’ll see, when you’re fifty.” I am fifty and I haven’t seen a thing. – Erik Satie

2- orange is sun
blue is water
orange is rust
blue is sky just now

3- If Trump isn’t allowed
to pardon himself, and he resigns
so Pence is president and
can then pardon him, will he
still be allowed to take
Air Force One to fly to the
new Trump Florida White House
at the same time as Biden is
inaugurated as he had planned?
(And wouldn’t it piss him off
if Pence didn’t pardon him?)

2- people want pretty.
abstract and nonfigurative
require thinking.

3- snakes can’t walk upright
but so far Republican senators
still can. I guess we’re still
not the United Snakes of America.

1- I don’t think I’ve learned anything that I didn’t already know. I just didn’t recognize it at first. – Tom Petty

2- are half-formed thoughts
better than non at all?
are our thoughts our own?

3- I think Trump plans to
think of himself as president
in exile. Will he keep Air Force One
as his air force?

1- The only thing that we know is that we know nothing — and that is the highest flight of human wisdom. – Leo Tolstoy

2- if we can’t care for
a lawn, how can we pretend
we care the earth?

3- Pardon me used to
be said after burping or
bumping into someone. Now,
under Trump, it could mean
you’re trying to purchase
a presidential pardon.

no more the United States.

Over two hundred million dollars
and the money keeps rolling in.
Trump’s making more losing the
presidency than if he’d won.
