Tick Tock. Top Story - July 2025. Content Warning.
This is part of Step into Echoes Beyond the Veil with Pookie & Vicki After we connected with our ancestors, my dad, and her mom I thought how thin the veil is and how the earth is spinning faster, this had to be written. It is other, time zones, tick tock clocks of time & space, birth, death, and closed & open doors. This is truth, fiction, and science fiction written in words regarding living, and the fantasy of time.

After the Fact Checking
The poem below just seemed to flow out of my head and onto the page while I watched a fact-checking segment on the news a few weeks ago. I've been sitting on it for a while, but given the significance of this weeks July 4th holiday, I thought it the appropriate occasion to put it out there, so to speak.
