Most signs had long since faded, leaving runic traces in chipped paint and rust. Those that remained unscathed went unread. But not unseen. Time and struggle wore away written #language. But not our stories
So we go on, passing our history, our hope

He dont know much about history
Not a clue bout #geography
Rambles on sans philosophy
Big ego and bad policy
But there's something
I know is true.
He's a fascist through and through
So if autocracy ain't for you
Come on and just vote with me
How wonderful midterms will be.

All those masked up goons
Acting out their love of hate
Let's make them #famous

Pumpkins after Halloween
Always get mushy

Now to the #business of winter
Birds scrabble despite thick rain
As earth sops the sky
Saving against drought
A few strong gusts
Will bare the trees
Revealing last year's nests
A promise and an aim
Make it through

No crackle or crunch
Leaves wilt under heavy rains
Yet bleed no color

Halloween tip. While it's fun to put out candy, be wary of doing this too many days in advance as it soon becomes imperative to test the goods. Repeatedly.
