We offer observations on the human condition from a 22 year old mind trapped in an 82 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

I am now at a one coffee cup level for the day.

People baffle me, they behave so human.

The only important judgement is that held by your children on your behavior.

Some nod in agreement with eyes, some with words.

There is a moment in life when we decide our life.

To keep one’s word is important. It tells who you are.

A waitress approaches table slowly with tray. A waiter moves quicker.

All too often a one cell phone lunch by two men.

My only certainty in 2013 is the lack of jobs.

Toe gets the entire body shut down.

A parking lot holding two cars creates questions or wonder.

When sun is out, we walk with greater certitude.

Sounds from my youth are no longer heard.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Mystery of Death–is there noise?

A regret of my life is not becoming a bike rider.

Sound of child’s voice conveys life.

To call a female politician today, “beautiful” is an example of denigration. Why?

In a crowd one often hears words but no meaning.

Youth has clarity, age has complexity.

Circling for a parking spot hopefully concludes with, “finally.”

Person on driver car opens the car door before the person in passenger side.

My motto, “get on with life.” Nothing is worth the bother of continuing the argument.

My love of warmth over cold most probably comes from that short stint in Hell.

We live among, not with people.

Sometimes even I become weary of the human condition.

Some look up, some down.

Fear not tomorrow, it WILL come.

The end of a basketball season means the birth of a baseball one.

Music changes along with what we want to hear.

Grandparents always listen to grand kids very attentively

Some dwell in the valley of Anger, a mighty long valley.

I used to speak a foreign language, today I only recall words.

I am impressed by snow that lasts a week.

Some walk with left hand in pocket, some with right.

Pop and I rarely spoke verbally, just spiritually.

There is only one end to life on Earth. Sorry, no second acts.

Each person possesses the power to love.

Some men carry wallet in back pocket, not me, I am Bronx born.

I wonder where the concept of a “refill”originated.

Jeans and big butt are not good companions.

I have a  hunch  tiger mom does better job of raising cubs than human moms raising kids.
The only sad ending to a story is Death.

I awoke with a sore toe. HOW?

To anticipate one’s life decisions is to ward off Death.

Rule of poor people-first pay the rent.

I am always surprised to see a cop eating.

I would  be more surprised to see them piss.

As a child I thought teachers knew everything. Ah, the myths of childhood.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

I always read throw away newspapers, one never knows what one will learn.

I tried a black cherry smoothie, not too smooth in the stomach.

Tall boys tower over me as they walk past me.

For some reason, I inhabit a planet in which reason is a stranger.

Some shuffle papers with delight.

I grow bored listening to people who want war.

I await calmly the day when I will shuffle, not walk.

I was taught as a child that to panic leads to injury.

Some write to gain fame, I write to live.

Which is worse, to know what happens tomorrow or to forget yesterday?

To ignore Fate is to ignore life.

It is either darkness or  light that ends darkness.

We send men to fight, but when they return, everyone for himself.

All too often, we doubt our capabilities.

There are moments in life to recall, other times to forget.

I regret nothing  I did in life, what was, was. Move on.

I gather we need Easter to remind all too too many Christians there was a guy named Jesus Christ.

Pope washes feet of poor but keeps hands off abortion issue.

Americans worry about how many millions athletes make but have no concern over how many millions lack money.I

I wonder if other life forms scratch an itch.

Some arrange laptop and then get coffee, others do the reverse.

Russian people have never known five years of life in a democracy.

I frequently shut eyes to get peace.

To doze is to prepare for thinking.

For some, the act of thinking is a journey into unexplored lands.

Some place fist under chin when working with laptop.

Is it farewell to this life or hello to a new one?

If two young children sit down one must touch the other.

Dad should not carry drinks to kids, let them do it.

I so miss standing on the street corner with my friends.

I was raised to eat day old food.

If you seek happiness in life always be for those who are also gay.

Jews declaim, “to the next year in Jerusalem,” Republicans declaim, “to the next tax cut for wealthy folk.”

To face Death calmly, is to possess love of life.

There is no such thing as a surplus of love.

Humans portray God as wrathful, I think they are gazing into a mirror.

I wonder if celibacy arose because there is no Mrs. God.

One does not gain wisdom with age, it comes from a reflective mind.

People working on computers reach a point when they halt and just gaze at it.

Since computers think, do they think about me?

There are sounds from my youth that have disappeared-telephone ringing?

Thin long haired teen girl walks with demure look.

Two lonely iPads met for lunch today.

These days, all too often, pretty face goes with pretty big butt.

Some lean down when pushing open door.

New norm-speak to cell phone as leave diner.

Old norm-speak to friend as leave diner.

Tea Party folk would never  have tea with a  homeless person.

I wonder if on other planets one gender gives nourishment to babies?

It is required when entering a coffee shop to gaze around.

I am the guy who picks up the dropped cup.

There are times to challenge Fate, other times to accept it.

I have never felt fear on a  city street.

I am a natural born nurse.

Somewhere at the end of the rainbow is an end.

I have never wished upon a star, I just want to visit one.

If you stride, then you apparently know where you are going.

It is what one does not know that is a concern.

I do not understand why an employee of a fast food place brings a drink to work.

Age may bring wisdom, but it is certain to bring old legs.

It is a long time since I heard the word, “nosh.”

Some smile after getting coffee.

Some walk on the edge of the sidewalk, ready to dash across the street?

Eventually, we will all be employees of robots.

Some say, “end is near,”I prefer, “beginning is near.”

Just remember that in the end there is a beginning.

Some

Question-who exactly made God?

Some believe in God, some in fate.

I hate keeping people waiting for me.

One lucky night shooting three pointers can allow any basketball team to win.

Why is hate a more powerful emotion than love?

In reality there is no reality.

Bright sun, then snow, why?

I still doubt all weather predictors.

One can surrender to sickness or fight it.

To me, turmoil IS the human condition.

Take the long view of life, safer.

Sometimes the abnormal is normal.

I am only allowed to win a scratch off if the sum is one dollar.

I encounter many young people who do not recognize kindness.

Fun has disappeared from the lives of little children.

I am a courteous person.

Modern life-dad sits with kids while mom gets food.

It is questions asked not  answers given that distinguishes wise man from  fool.

I walk slower but think quicker.

My new tendency is life is to spill drinks.

Some regard self as God like, God does not.

It is one thing to be ignorant, another to be stupid.

Some sit with pensive look clutching drink to chest.

Some sit hunched over coffee.

If an individual wants to fail, he will.

No longer are stories about the past told with a warm heart.

Which is worse, damaged body or damaged  mind?

Confession: I am still not accustomed to boys with long hair.

The  only certainty in life is there will be a new year-eventually.

We lack clarity today, in the past, the past  lived on into the present.

I enjoy less the taste of coffee.

When it comes to casting a stone, plenty of pitchers, but few catchers.

I wonder who I would like to accompany on the walk through the valley of Death.

If walking to Hell, no problem, it is Newt Gingrich.

I wonder if one has to shovel snow in Heaven.

A girl wearing shiny black  boots captures attention,

There should be sound limits on cell phone talks in public.

I doubt if other life forms sequester funds for the elderly and poor.

Americans have a Rendevous with Reality.

The worse fear is fearing something that will not occur.

My dream is to see two suns arise in the  morning.
