Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . I've always said that I wanted to have smooth sailing, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Imprinted Skin – En Vogue

 Movie Star

She had her
hairline raised,
crow’s feet erased,
cheeks botexed,
nose bobbed,
mouth reshaped,
teeth capped,
double-chin removed,
breasts built up,
waist narrowed,
stomach flattened,
buttocks lifted,
thighs thinned out,
and for good measure,

not due to modesty,
but because
she’s covered with tattoos.
This is not a new poem. The last phrase shows how a poem can […]

The Invasion of Iraq

Herbert Kuhner
In the Second Iraq War, by invading Iraq,
The United States unleashed a conflict
between the Sunnis and Shiites,
and removed the buffer to Iran,
