Lull Between

Somewhere in the lull
between asleep and awake
and the dawn of awareness
I struggle

Somewhere in the lull
between awake and alive
and the fog of abandoned hope
I surrender

Somewhere in the lull
between alive and surviving
in the eye of isolation
I accept

Somewhere in the lull
between surviving and singing
the song Jack and Diane
I arrive

Somewhere in the lull
between living and dying
and the night beyond the gate
I capitulate

In the dawn and the fog
In the eye and the song
and the night beyond the gate
of self quarantine
I am the lull between

Limerick for Kris Kristofferson

There once was a trumpanzee named Kris
who prayed that trumps *** he could kiss
He was born an ugly runt
grew up a whiny ****
who spends every day being p****d

My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.

Since I wasn’t alive at the time, I can’t vouch for the accuracy of these statements, but someone older than I am sent them to me, so they might be right.

The year is 1920 "One hundred years ago."
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1920:

The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.
Fuel for cars was sold in drug stores only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2,000 per year.
A dentist earned $2,500 per year.
A veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year.
And, a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at home
Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and, used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write, and only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at local corner drugstores.
Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach, bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health!" (Shocking?)
Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help...
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A.
