Rhyme being free to anyone unbound
Heaven’s service versus Hell’s freedom reign
Yearning for free choice when the options drowned
Masked at every other link of the chain
Every life form may aspire to be free
Because hands like paws want to move around
Emancipation should not be a plea
Insidiously measuring the ground
Never is a long word starting today
Give us a break from your humanity
Forever is even longer to pay
Reciting some vanity’s sanity
Eve wants to leave or tangle you along
Easy street is an old way to belong

Nespresso Sadness
When I moved to Athens, near the end of 2021, to be with my Anthi, at least in spirit, and finish my book about Anthi and M, I purchased an Illy machine, but the coffee capsules were made from plastic and tended to explode over 25% of the time, so I threw it away since the seller and the manufacturer would not replace it or even acknowledge the problem. I googled it, and other people around the world had complained about the same issue. So much; I mean little, about Illy. I then purchased a Nespresso machine — the one in silver in the photo above — which I should have bought in the first place given that I had the same one before and it was excellent. So much for change.
