WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON J.D. SALINGER AUTHOR OF CATRCHER IN THE RYE RIGHT NOW ON  PRIME VIDEO...WANTED TO WRITE A POEM INCLUDING CATCHER IN THE RYE. HAD TO READ IT IN SCHOOL. LIKED IT. READ IT A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS. CLASSIC.

STRONG WINDS WERE BLOWING SO THIS MAGICAL POEM CAME ALONG TO  CALM ME DOWN.

I WAS WATCHING MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE AND AT THE END OF THE MOVIE DENZEL SAYS THERE'S ALWAYS CASUALTIES IN WAR...I THOUGHT WHAT A STRANGE WORD TO USE AND SHOCKING...CASUALTIES...FOR LIVES LOST DUE TO WAR... SO UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL OF LIFE....DEVASTATING...SENSELESS...NO COMPASSION OR EMPATHY...DISGUSTING....NO MORALS OR CONSCIENCE...WAR MUST END...I AM SURE MOST PEOPLE WOULD MUCH RATHER LIVE IN PEACE...WHY MUST SO MANY SUFFER FOR THE IGNORANCE OF THE FEW THAT INSTIGATE IT AND REFUSE TO LET GO OF IT. THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN WAR...WE ARE ALL LOSERS....THOSE WHO INSTIGATE IT AND THOSE WHO DO NOTHING TO TRY TO STOP IT...

THESE SETS OF THREES COULD ALL BE POEMS WITHIN THEMSELVES...

WATCHING RERUNS OF MOONLIGHTING ON  PRIME VIDEO AND THE RECEPTIONIST  IS ALWAYS ANSWERING THE PHONE IN RHYMES SO NATURALLY A POEM WAS BOUND TO COME...BRUCE WILLIS SAID  A WORD I CAN'T REMEMBER NOW THAT SOUNDED SIMILAR TO PERPENDICULAR SO THAT IS WHY IT POPPED INTO MY HEAD...PERPENDICULAR IN PARTICULAR...FEELS AWFULLY CATCHY TO ME FOR SOME ODD REASON...SO HAD TO PAUSE TO WRITE THIS AND SEE WHATELSE WOULD COME TO GO ALONG WITH IT...NOT MUCH I GUESS...HA HA

I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE EPISODE TO SEE WHAT HE SAID THAT TRIGGERED PERPENDICULAR IN PARTICULAR...IN SEASON ONE EPISODE SIX HE SAID  IAMBIC PENTAMETER AND THAT IS WHEN PERPENDICULAR IN PARTICULAR POPPED INTO MY HEAD...

YOU CAN USE SUPPLEMENTS AND HERBS TO DETOXIFY YOUR BODY BUT IF WE WEREN'T CONSTANTLY BOMBARDED WITH TOXINS EVERYWHERE WE WOULDN'T NEED TO DO THAT. LET'S DETOXIFY THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN. TOO MANY SPECIES ARE ENDANGERED OR EXTINCT DUE TO SOME IGNORANT HUMAN  CARELESSNESS. WE COULD CLEAN THINGS UP AND STRIVE FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF US WOULD PREFER THAT.

I RECENTLY SAW SOMEONE MENTION THERE ARE EIGHTEEN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES IN OUR GOVERNMENT...THEY DIDN'T MENTION THE NAMES OF THEM ALL. WE NEED LIBERTARIANS IN THERE TO TRIM ALL THE FAT. SO MANY BUREAUCRACIES. SEEMS TO ME THEY JUST WASTE  MONEY WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND. THE ONES I HAVE HEARD OF SEEM TO DO NOTHING BUT CAUSE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF SOLVE ANY. JUST THINKING OUT LOUD.
