I've never hunted
Freddy eating clover flowers
Y'know I've only been fishing twice in my life
Rasa with Eva and her kids
well, come right in . . .
and I've never hunted, and if there wasn't a
Kroger Meat Dep't I don't know
if I could even do it, Ma Coleman Would
strangle, break the necks of them chicken,
and commenced the autopsy like we might run
a vacuum cleaner, I'm a city boy man,
sAt 13 I worked and went to school
every day go to school work a shift at my
Dad's Delicatessen in Southfield the newest
and massive sucess generated in suburb suburbia,
across 8 Mile from Detroit proper.My Dad, who was raised tending crops amd
fields on farmss other than their own 'victory garden which, managed to sustain a family of 14, Mama and Papa with 12 children, through hard labor and folkways inspired ingenuity. Picking cotton by hand remained the GM, Ford and Chrysler (Hudson, Packard, DeSoto, Nash, Willys, etc.), economic bulwark of the Southland, until 1948 when the first feasible mechanized cotton picking equipment was marketed, the apparatus removed the boles causing less damage to its delicate produce ever conceived, by local populations and far off bankers and financiers ince of. Day's end found more cotton boles littered the grounds of harvested fields by factors of multitudes, evading the nerveless steel of the contraption the nimble, experiences successful colg harvest this
the largest exile of people from the multi-generational settlements began in U. S. history
drive a Cadillac you needed
shades because the future looked so bright.
We have to get the shills out of government
that cater to Corporate interests,
things were really different, Society functioned
well in the 60's and 70's because The Jewish
boys were building Mansions out there and all
knew my Dad some since the 50's and loved
Corned Beef, and my Dad did it so good, he
was a trained US Army Cook, and upon
discharge went to Detroit because at one time
6 of his 7 brothers had all gone up , he was 15
when his older brother would drive up there
and he would get a restaurant job and work
meant more, I look at these McDonald's and
Walmart workers and their not get ahead at all
and working their ass off, the dignity of the
worker is not served with these obvious
monopolies appearing before our eyes and
their only blowin smoke up our ass in
Washington, I shook Walter Mondale's hand,
the Methodist Minister's son from Minnesota,
We were in the Elevator area of the
Renaissance Center Sheryl Robin and Me and
Sheryl
Sheryl Saw Reagan COME INTO THE HOTEL
AND GO UP HIS SUITE But I wasn't paying
attention just trying to navigate In the wall to
wall people, carrying the baby tired from
working right the at Nemo's Bar and Restaurant in the Renaissance
Center mall and The Republican Convention
was down the street at Joe Louis Arena but I'm
a lifelong blue collar Democrat It was only TV
show to me. I didn't care but business was
astounding at Nemo's, but they wanted really
long hours out of their Line Cooks, and you in
constant motion performing what you watched
dad do growing up but the hint of anyone
getting a raise was never raised once there.
Carter was a good Baptist no matter how
judge him politically and The Body of Christ,
was in the white house. using his faith to make
decisions,
WE HAD
we had collective bargaining rights which
Reagan destroyed when he fired all the PATCO
union personnel summarily and when the
second hand of the clock reached the deadline
to strike and Air Traffic controllers were not at
their posts. Replaced them with Air Force
Personnel anyone non PATCO, It was unheard
of to fire striking worker's at one time and it
didn't matter what you did, if you worked you
could get stuff and the dignity of the worker
was upheld when Truman used a maneuver to
get a Court Order Commanding them to report
to work and the workers obeyed the Law and
showed up, none of this was attempted by
Reagan all them Rich Guys in California that
made Him Governor he was a talker but but
Collective Bargaining and and Anti Trust
Legislation was Destroyed by The Court as
Soon as he had got Scalia and had the Votes
that's fucked up
the Supreme Court upheld him and the law of
the Land Changed, and Unions were unable to
function
has he a name?
about an hour ago
How can I get involved, I like animals and they
depend on us because humans bred them
I had to go to Nashville today and when we
pulled back into 3rd St. we saw a raccoon
crossing the street in front of us in broad
daylight like he didn't have a care in the
world, my Dad feeds coons at the corner of of
Waterloo and Buffalo Road where there is a
very steep place going down in a holler or
hallow it's not even tended to
Shoal Creek is at the bottom and it's
dangerous if not in shape to walk down to
around there, so we had feral cats, 18 at one
time, because there was a black cat that
needed a meal, and we had just come from
seeing my Dad's eldest sister, who was in her
ninety's when she went home to the Lord
She had scolded her son to get cat food
because there was a barnyard cat there like he
wanted something, and she invoked the Words
of her Mother Ma Coleman, that "there would
be no creatures on our property Hungry!
THAT BLACK CAT was fed and the family grew
the 18 were all her offspring or grandchildren
cats and feral cats are better off fed and
allowed to function within it's instincts because
the mother trains them to be still and quiet in
the night some of them cats were great,
CLYDE was my first pal among them who would
respond to me a a friendly, i could pet him and
he domesticated by the nutrition not the really
lap-cat but he liked to play too
CAT MURDERED It was truly a sad and bizarre
day when we returned home from a trip from
Detroit and clyde's carcass lay spread eagle
on the cat porch and as I got closer I saw
some critters had eaten him some. Clyde was
et. Hey people get hit by cars, Shit Happen's!
and performed the grim funeral of Clyde
I thought of Soylent Green, Charlton Heston
Shouting, "Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"
This is going to a house dog a companion, I'm
on disability here and no other dogs here he'll
be fenced in, i don't live in the wilderness, but I
seen what happens with the personality of the
dog It's unnecessary, and i don't want to look
at a butchered animal everyday! the dog dog
will think he's in NY City because thing's
function that way in my house, Even if I'm from
Detroit because we rolled that way
