TODAY IN VIKTOPIA (ChicanoLoveIsForever): My Sexy Hero Poet and I had our date-nite-at-home. I am so blessed that he has been my rock— as always. I never have to worry. He braided his beard into my hair, we are wired in for all that comes next. Resistance is our love & growing old together.
A middle aged Chicano couple with the night sky behind them. His arm wrapped around her, his hand on her chest. She has a slanted smirk and red lipstick on. Her hair is a wild curly burst of salt and pepper gray. She is wearing a black and red shirt and oversized black cat eye glasses. He is bald and arching his eyebrow in a comedic fashion. His beard and mustache are also salt and pepper gray. He is wearing a black long sleeve sweatshirt.

Lost my voice today from being sick with a nasty cold. Forgot about those. 😩
Coffee cup with baby yoda on the front is on the left side of the poet’s laptop. She has wild silver and black hair flowing onto the laptop and her skin is brown. Blankets pile around her, and you can only see her eyes and nose in the frame because she is lying down. She is front facing, but flat to the couch with glasses to the right of the laptop. In the background is a big screen TV with an image in black and white of Thelonious Monk who is playing jazz on a piano.
