Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Lost by a landside,
So I’ll destroy democracy.
Open your eyes,
Watch the hearings and see,
I’m just a despot, deserving no sympathy,
Cause’s power’s easy come, easy go,
My IQ’s little low,
And way the wind blows doesn’t bode too well for me,
for me …
These are always fun.
This is after the buildings facing Campbell Avenue (including the former Campbell Court bus station) were razed. The latter two shots were taken from Salem Avenue, looking south.
“Raze” is a weird word. Its antonym is also its homophone (“raise”).
(Before Second Avenue becomes Gainsboro Road heading north at the overpass.)
I can’t emphasize enough what a quiet city this is. What you see is what passes for a somewhat busy Tuesday morning.
Feign innocence, you
sly, lascivious dove, you
feral butterfly.

So my last letter to the editor (about mandatory school prayer) was distributed to a readership of about 470,000 readers.
Not the biggest number ever (and there’s no telling how many consumers actually read the letter), but it’s still a nice number.
Writing about politics or current events will garner you a far greater audience than poetry.
This happened back in January 2021 off Orange Avenue here in Roanoke, Virginia. Although the business was destroyed, thankfully no one was hurt.
Buddy of mine picked up fresh peaches from Ikenberry Orchards in Daleville, Virginia. THE TASTE IS DIVINE. This is bliss.
God bless the American South.
They should have called the second Doctor Strange movie “Doctor Strange: Not All Who Wanda Are Lost, Bitches.”
