you know, this stuff
is everywhere,
in gum,
in sweeteners,
in places
moms never thought.
not many living can recall, but
the dead know it well, cuz
in other forms it’s an
embalming fluid,
yes,
that’s right,
when you drink
your tea,
or coffee,
of cola,
you’re really
just embalming your body
prematurely,
getting ready for the afterlife,
nothing like being prepared,
say the boy scouts as they suck
their aspartame lollypops
and drink their hyped-up
soda.
Enjoy!
Try Stevia. Natural sweetener with no calories. Best price I've found so far is Swansonvitamins.com. 100 packets for $3.59 + postage. Another natural product is Xylitol. It has 40% calories of sugar and not quite as sweet as Stevia, but is a mild anti-biotic that they use in chewing gum, toothpaste, mint drops, etc. It is also used for treating ear infections in children and I'm having good results using it (Xlear) for nose spray for sinusitis.

A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
