A woman in Texas says she has seen Bigfoot, and that he made birdlike sounds trying to talk to her.

She said she felt he was making overtures to her, and didn’t try to communicate with him.

So she left him scared, and later that day gave him an offering, a fresh baked pie she put outside her house.

She believes he accepted the offering and ate the pie, and she has put other food outside for him since then.

She has an adult son who lives with her and claims he has heard Bigfoot near her house many times.

Both of them were on Art Bell years ago telling their Bigfoot tales, and most of the callers believed them.

I don’t know what to say about it except that the tales were compelling and the woman seemed genuine.

You can have the outdoorsy woman
I want a settled down indoorsy one
while an outdoorsy woman is roaming
my indoorsy one will be loving me

I met a lovely woman in a dream last night
being with her was feeling good and right
but before things developed into a romance
I woke up and knew I’d never see her again

Simon’s mother always said to him
don’t count your chickens before they hatch
but since he didn’t have any chickens
he never paid any attention to her

Daren’s girlfriend, Wanda, always got crazy
during full moons, as if connected to them.
but Daren didn’t care, not one bit.
he said, “At least she’s not a werewolf.”

I cannot even begin to count
all the people who have passed
through my life.

From passing strangers to friends,
enemies, coworkers and lovers.

From Woburn, Massachusetts to
many towns, cities and states.

From Germany, Paris, Rome, and
the Philippines too, so many
passing people.

Many no doubt are dead now and
many are still living,

but like me they’re all passing out
of this world, one by one, place
by place.

All of us just people passing through
this temporary world into the next.

Imagine if that became true, and what would AI do?
Imagine if AI turned out to be altruistic and ran the
world better than humans do.
Imagine a world without wars and crimes and for
once everything was running smoothly.
Or, as many believe, a world where humans
became obsolete and enslaved by an AI overlord.
Or, as some believe, imagine a world were humans
became extinct and AI lived on in their place.
Supposedly 99% of all the species that ever lived
are now extinct, and we could be one of them.
I choose to see AI as beneficial and a possible
tool in creating a far better world than this one.
I also see a lurking darkness where a nation with
evil intentions could use it to conquer the world.

A lonely sparrow croons a love song
seeking a female mate.
As female sparrows swoon, a hawk
hears the sparrow’s song as well.
Just as an enchanted female sparrow
flies toward the amorous male sparrow,
the ravenous hawk swoops in and rips
the sparrow’s song and his life away.
The carnage in this world can be
overwhelming sometimes.
And neither song birds nor humans
are ever entirely safe.

I was thinking about you this morning,
the you I have never met.

I was thinking how nice it would be
to have you around.

And how much fun it would be to
banter with you and have some laughs.

I even thought about how nice just a
single touch of your hand would feel.

I didn’t have any erotic thougts about
you.
After all, we haven’t met yet,
let alone been together long enough
for intimate thoughts and actions.

Speaking of which, I know I could
love you so much that I could love
you platonicaly if you were unable or
unwilling to consummate.

I hope we’ll meet soon. I feel as if
I’ve waited my entire life for you.

I’d end this poem with hugs and
kisses, but I don’t want you to think
I’m too forward.

So bye for now.

I loved the way she looked.
She loved the way I looked.
That work for about 4 years,
but then the liking of looks
lost its appeal.

She grew cold and distant
I grew annoyed and tired
of her indifference.

And I could see where
things were going;
that is, she was planning
on leaving me secretly.

I said to her, “Look, if you
don’t want to be married
to me, you don’t have to be.
Nobody is forcing you to
stay here.”

A day later she was gone,
which turned out to be one
of the best days of my life.

And I no longer liked the
way she looked after
seeing the parts of her
beyond the superficial.

It was a good riddance
to her and a happy days
for me.
