"Bits of Patriotism" - my review

"Bits" is a good onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is not a good onomatopoeia...is that irony? I believe it is ironic, but irony IS the last refuge of a scoundrel...or is that sarcasm?  Or my basement?

Selfish eulogy for my friend Razzle


He was soft and gentle and forgiving.
and he was
strong, resolute,
and
precise.
precisely
perfect.

I miss him.

wondrous


What if I really am different than the rest of you?
It seems so unlikely, yet so obvious.
It has to make you smile.
What a brilliant world.
A beautiful life.
A wonderous world.
An imperceptible, unperceivable, improbable, glorious God.
You and I are not so different.
Different enough to be the same.
One.
One me.
One you.
One.
