Twilight

Standard

When the sun departs or arrives glows more red than ever it had in the day.

Its salmon coral hues bring a copper glow to the landscape.

All buildings gray and drab shine like gold and bronze.

All trees and plants seem to glow amber.

Lakes once blue and green now shine like jewelry.

The warm embrace, a hug of zen indicating the sun will be with you again.

No frets no frowns your best friend is on the scene.

Whether prepared or not it revolves to give you another chance around.

So on this new day or new night the wash of twilight will cleanse your pallet.

Just paint your world as the world is painted by the sun

Always in warmth and positivity.

Football

Standard

As the guys crunch against each other for the ultimate touchdown

Women are cheering them on

Rain sleet sun snow or hail these guys barrel into each other to prevent the 1st down.

It takes skill and muscle to keep the other team distant from their goal.

You must not give up

You must bring down or run by the opposition

I rather hear I lost then you lost your life

So protect your team, they got your back.

-Jennie Nawrocki

History

Standard

They say leave the past in the past

Know your history so you don’t repeat your mistakes

Now being told didn’t you understand

You can’t understand something you were always told

It’s none of your business

So it’s none of my concern now and you want me to do what

At least when you ask do you support others

Always as long as I know what I am doing

But can’t understand something when it was none of your business

Catch 22

Am I really dumb to something that was never meant for my ears in the first place

Remember I wasn’t allowed to help because that means I accomplished something that gives me credibility

Remember I wasn’t allowed to give or acknowledge birthdays or other events because that would have meant I cared

Remember I wasn’t invited because that would have meant I was there

Remember I wasn’t allowed to write or read press releases because that would give me knowledge

Remember the past didn’t happen so don’t say don’t you remember yesterday

Well now I have nothing to remember or do and you say I am lazy and dumb

Never means never so be careful what you don’t teach or allow, because we really will never understand

Predictions

Standard

An AI prediction is determined on the statistical analysis of how many times words are found in a sequence or order.

They say they know humans and how they will act better and better.

The AI program can also eliminate or decide to put a certain word or topic in a conversation even if it isn’t statistically significant.

Thereby never seeing certain combinations of words or topics together.

Humans I am told are happy with someone else designing and putting them in a box, group or camp depending on likes and dislikes.

Restaurants, cafes and even book stores are eliminating seating for casual conversations.

The key is to make every encounter purposeful.

Our world is being created for us based on computer systems and babysitters that tell us what is best for us.

They say the new generation is being programmed to hate social interactions at the same time isn’t that the main reason Autism is diagnosed.

So what’s increasing Autism diagnosis and social exclusion because we don’t give a hoot about someone else or being placed in a cohort?

Are really humans so happy with their 9-5 that they don’t mind being lead and controlled.

Yeah sure supposedly there is a portion of the population that want to be like the worker ants of society.

But does everyone, have we created a cast system through AI in which only certain humans of certain levels and abilities are allowed to interact.

Have we returned to the feudalistic society in which we have peasants who are disposable based on their AI level?

Really are we that predictable to be put in these positions?

We are humans for the fact that we are unpredictable, how high that percentage of unpredictability is personalized.

When in my family I was often the crazy silly goose.

It was known that at sometime during a family gathering I would do something off center to the rest of the family. Completely harmless but different.

For example, one time I was hiking with my sister she asked, Why haven’t you climbed a boulder or jumped in the water or surprise?

They knew how off I was by how predictable I was in family gatherings.

So those that say they know me and can predict me like the subways should also know that most of the time at some point in time I will go off script.

Supposedly that is what my family and friends liked about me, my unpredictability.

What I have fought and surprised at is that there are those around me now that want me to be in a box or a corner and accept status quo or it is what it is.

I’m sorry to say it is what it is would be a slave owner saying don’t question slavery or women saying we are fine with being controlled by men.

Hell no!

You can’t say you like my unpredictability one minute and force me to act and be a certain predictable way the next.

You are human.

You are not a predictable computer program.

For example, let me ask you this?

When you buy a gift for someone do you always go from the list they gave you or go off from the list?

Do you sometimes give a gift just to be funny or different and something out of the ordinary for them?

Does every woman and man want shoes for every gift they ever get or do they like variety?

Humans by nature are unpredictable that is what makes us human.

Even plant species when encountering unsustainable conditions will adapt or evolve and can become unpredictable to survive.

So I ask you this how predictable are you and when was the last time you went out of your predictable AI ways?

Go for the Gold

Standard

We talk about getting paid for your time.

Plenty of times you have been told don’t work past your 9-5 hours without getting paid.

Overtime is essential.

There is also a push for no homework.

Kids are in school 7-8 hours a day.

Though I just watched the Olympics.

All those athletes don’t live by the 9-5 mentality.

All the inventors don’t live by the 9-5 mentality.

Every person who started their business from the ground up doesn’t live by the 9-5 mentality.

I say by all means give homework give extra hours to those who want it.

They are normally going somewhere.

They are normally going to be someone.

They are definitely at the top of their game.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Why Olympics

Standard

From the beginning the Olympics was always competitive, that was the point competition that didn’t end in death.

It was started in Greece where we wanted change we needed change away from conflict.

The rings even have all the colors of every original flag of every country participating.

If you haven’t seen the sportsmanship in the pool, stadium or gym, you have no idea what these athletes have achieved at such a high level and then when done hug each other.

That is competition anything else is vengeance and greed for power.

None of these athletes, couldn’t do it without support also.

Their families are there cheering them on.

A good coach gives constructive criticism with ample praise even though their nerves are just as wild before events.

Excellent coaches know progress isn’t made by telling your team you are the worst I have ever seen.

They give affirmation after affirmation.

See what happens or occurs when you give an affirmation or have a friendly competition vs calling someone a friendenemy

You might end up in good terms instead.

Don’t Stay Still

Standard
The Arabian Nights
Tale of the Nur Al-Din and His Son

I have been asked to go home.

I have seen 6 countries and 32 states.

At one point I bet I could have gotten frequent flyer miles.

Even had a bag half packed for spur of the moment adventures.

I have basically been to 80% of Washington State.

Though I have lived in New York 10 years and mostly only know Manhattan and Bronx.

Living in poverty and dependent on rail and buses really hinders your travel especially to National Parks.

They say a tree or branch or even building that bends in the wind endures any storm.

I moved into a shelter years ago and despite how many interviews, how many jobs I have never been able change my situation.

Humans tell me to move, I ask to move but yet I stay in one place.

They say something inside me died.

I agree.

My sense of adventure, my sense of life, my reason for being.

I loved being busy, seeing new people, new places and experiencing new thoughts, ideas, perspectives and opinions.

Now accounts and jobs are lost for expressing your opinion no matter where you’re located.

Seriously, I have never been so homebound in my life.

Some are hermits and others are explorers and their are those that are every personality in between.

Wherever you are on the adventure scale you are still bending with the wind as long as includes something different.

As I continue to fulfill my adventurous motivation and livelihood.

Remembering a city has its appeal not because it is a copy of another but because it keeps it culture while incorporating world culture.

A person may still have coffee with their breakfast and read the morning news or create bonding moments with family or just sit a revel in the beauty of their environment regardless of where they are.

But the cup or table changes or are you?

-Jennie Nawrocki

Just In Case

Standard

I am not going to act like this was a good day or week.

Had some of my worst nightmares and conversations as a result.

Without going into specifics I guess my “never” wasn’t trusted.

Look I know I have written morbidly before but I had more confirmations about my future than I ever had before.

If I haven’t said it before I am saying it now, thank you so much for reading and subscribing. It means a lot to me that even one person read my messages poetic or not.

Be well my readers and I will write until I can’t write no more.

Butterfly Patio

Standard

Walking among the cobblestones

Stable but textured

Smooth rough and everything in between

Path only speckled with wildflowers and dirt.

Greens with reds, yellows, blues, and purples.

Large and small, soft petals and leaves contrasting the greys and browns

Steps illuminated by golden rays peering through the canopy of leaves above

Veer to the left or veer to the right wilderness is stomped upon

Gliding struts sombered by gentle breezes.

Then the path takes shape full of hues.

broken glass and tiles placed together bigger than dining room table

One small section seems randomly placed

But looking from a far

Glistening with life

A butterfly takes shape

As if it were just sitting a spell

You don’t want to go further as it looks so delicate and surrealistic

So you head for the awning a few feet above

And that porch swing bored from inactivity

Now rocking back and forth you wonder

Who is flying you or the butterfly immortalized as the base of all your activities.

For every movement outside involves the support of this ever glimmering butterfly
