Death of a patriot
The country superstar, who died of stomach cancer on Monday, February 5, at age 62, gave three sold-out concerts in Las Vegas in December.
The ‘triumphant return to the stage’ two months ago would be his last, writes the New York Post.
‘Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5th, surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage.’ — post early Tuesday on Keith’s…

Short & sweet, my love
In the end, you reach the end. The flesh and the blood of generations. The crying baby cries because he knows he dies. But it matters not in the flash of life. The joy and the sorrow. The grief and the guilt. A great and grisly life in the house that Jack and Jill built on the hill comes tumbling down and you are alone in the living dead room with ghosts that do not speak because they know…

Secret chord
‘I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah’
https://billmichelmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/fnf0g-2.mp4
Now, I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really…

Fear of waking
Most of the dreams about my wife, who died five years ago today, are textbook Freud. I am always looking for her — in high-rise apartment buildings where I cannot remember what apartment we live in, or in a labyrinth of city streets where I lose my way. I never find her of course and I wake in a panic of fear and loneliness.
Just once, a while back, I actually found her. I had been looking for…

The Eternal
🔝 What’s going on, Cat Daddy?
So many books still to read and re-read. I position the magnifying glass above the page in the haze of failing eyesight. The magnifying glasses are getting larger. It’s a race between blindness and death.
When death comes, all reading ends. There would be nothing I would want to read then anyway. I have no interest in reading ‘The Eternal Darkness’ by that…

The sun lizard
The sleepy lizard sits in the sunroom. The sun warms him through the glass of the picture window. It is a good feeling. His eyes are closing. He sees his life. He used to be a lounge lizard. He had several women, sometimes two at the same time. Life was good. No one thought of death. Death did not exist. Only the moment. The taste of the gin, the feel of the woman, the aroma of the weed, the…

What the hell, blow up the world!
WAR PIGS DREAM SOON TO BE A REALITY
The warmongering American government — God love it! — is building the most powerful nuclear bomb ever devised by mankind.
Yes, ladies and germs, the super-weapon we have always dreamed of will be 24 times more destructive than the bomb that levelled Hiroshima.
The so-called B61-13 would instantly wipe out one million lives and leave hundreds of thousands…

Fade to gray
Failing vision in old age
The half-blind man reads with a magnifying glass. He sits in an armchair in the front room. The room has a picture window that lets in the most light. He needs all the light he can get. He holds a book in his lap with his right hand and the magnifying glass with his left. He turns the pages with his index finger and thumb so he can continue to hold the magnifying…

War of the Wars
By our theater critic Guillaume Michel
A funny thing happened on the way to the theater. I was going to see the Russia/Ukraine war when I found out it has has been upstaged by the Hamas/Israel war.
The Putin and Zelenski show is now playing Off-Broadway. Broadway’s new hit stars Nethanyahu and the yahoos running Hamas.
Theater lovers can expect a really good season on the…

The break-up
1. THE BEGINNING OF THE END
I was on the Hudson in a kayak
I came back you said I’m leaving Nyack
I said What’s going on
You said to me I’m done
I’m going back home
All you do is roam
I can’t take it any more
Mister William Michelmore.

Lie down, old man
One of the saddest lines in an obituary is this: There are no survivors.
He never thought that would be the last line in his obituary. He wasn’t dead yet, but the words were already written. He could write in: He is survived by his cat Bella. But that would be silly. So be it. Someone has to die last.
Not counting parents, whose deaths are usually consistent with the natural order, his oldest…

Saturday storm
Two o’clock in the afternoon
The rain is a symphony in the cathedral of trees that encircle the hermitage. The trees sway back and forth in the wind like ships at sea. Leaves fall sideways and down in the autumn storm.
Inside the bungalow the old man and his cat watch and listen. The old man is in his armchair, the cat is on the window sill, a rapt audience of two held in thrall by the falling…

So damn far away
Where are the dead? In the far reaches of the universe bordering on oblivion. And that’s why I am yelling. Where the hell are you, honey? I need to talk to you. For thirty years when I would get mad at life not going my way, Shakespeare’s good old ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,’ I would yell and curse at my misfortunes and even at inanimate objects if they didn’t work right and you…
