Ha! I missed my monthy feature yesterday. Poor poor ego.
“Good morning and thanks, Smith in Cleveland, from us left-coasters, as we all rock with Sisyphus this late October. Always good to have the Wordworksmith waking us up here at the Kitchen table!” – Kathy Kieth editor/publisher Medusa’s Kitchen

Next Thursday will be my 69th monthly feature on Medusa’s Kitchen, and I haven’t posted June or July’s yet. Maybe my raging ego is receeding a bit.
June 2021 – “Here is Smith, visiting the Kitchen in the middle of June, and, as always, we’re so glad to hear from him! Also as usual, LittleSnake is ambivalent about being cast as the Bad Guy—though he does love the attention. See below for snake with coffee, as well as a Quantumized Smith.” – Kathy Kieth, publisher / editor Medusa’s Kitchen

A friend asked for a copy of this poem from The Big Book of Daniel from Bottom Dog Press, 2011, edited by Maj Ragain.
Famous in the Neighborhood
Famous in the neighborhood
Among children and gods
And all living things hidden
I walk about talking nonsense
Inhaling through the ears energy
Putting humor on the mouth showing teeth
In the street I run amuck
Having learned in my quest
For maximum security
A flair for fair play
Everything truly amazes me
How people get up, go to work
How they get through the day
Without breaking down
How at night their dreams let them sleep
Ah, citizens, shopkeepers, servants of the law
This is, indeed, an age of obscenities
The four-letter word has long been outstripped
By its competition from the Pentagon
Pollution is reaching eclipse proportions
We are left muttering to ourselves
Traditional graffiti
And pity poor protest
Bound. Gagged. Held in contempt
Mediocrity sits in the judgment seat
The mad bombers are on the way…
Yet, the rain falls, the grass is wet
The robin eats the worm
The voices of children are heard from the turtle
In the sandbox in the park
As the sun, still famous in my neighborhood
Shines its shoes and walks through the sky
– Daniel Thompson

Dark down

Welcome to the future —

Feral cat creeping

Summer repast —

Smith 5.7-6.8 2021
Essaouira, Morocco
Synchronicity…
Everytime I open my laptop, it presents me with a foto from the cloud for me to like or not.
This past week it showed me Essaouira, Morocco, a walled city we lived in for 2 months in 2007. This was probably the apex for me of our 31 months of living in 20 cities in 10 countries on 3 continents from 2006-9.
4 days later it showed me Monte Alban, an ancient city outside Oaxaca, Mexico where we lived for 15 months 2007-9… another truly magic adventure.
