Texas approves major new wind power project

Texas approves major new wind power project

sometimes the best new ideas are the oldest
harnessing the power of wind
like exporers long ago
and farmers of yesterday

in the heart of black gold country
they see the value of the invisible
of the intangible
and stake their future on shifting air

What Else Jesse Jackson Said on That FNC Tape

What Else Jesse Jackson Said on That FNC Tape

yes it is
a double standard
as it always has been

ugliness turned on its side
to be used as code
as one of those words that means
whatever the user intends it to mean

and at some point
perhaps not in my lifetime
it will be buried in the etymological graveyard
a relic of history and hatred

but for now it still breathes
a parasite that eats its hosts
from the inside out
