EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

Kiss It Goodby

Kiss It Goodby

March 23, 2017 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

I’m in a funk this morning.  The ACA, also known as Obamacare is certain to be repealed and replaced today.  The replacement will be something unaccountably cruel.  The accounting will come soon enough, when the fixed sum of money allocated to the states runs out.   At the same time, there is no cap on funds offered to the military.  If you are aged and sick, disabled, and especially without family support, as the money runs out–dying time is near.

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it’s like up there
They call it paradise
I don’t know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye
The Last Resort by the Eagles, lyrics by Glenn Frey and Don Henley
