FROM INNER SPACE

These days, the Baby Sun's compete for every infinite moment of Mama's waking when we're alone without the larger stars to distract their incessant frenzy. Tonight, they are in opposition to anything that moves me - mop included. Numerous failed attempts to sit them still led me to finally encourage their natural busyness. Music came to mind as an aid, so eye frantically searched my iTunes for a winner. "Eureka! Let's try Sesame Street."

Two songs displayed, "Sesame Street (Theme)" & "1-2-3 Sesame Street" (Stevie Wonder).

After more than half an hour of repeat play, the lads are still entranced & singing as if they haven't heard this pairing ever before. As a benefactor of Jim Henson's brillance, my foyer tile & bathroom linoleum shine the Pine Sol glow. The smell of clean pervades our dwelling space. Fresh!

Ole' E[arth] anxiously prepares to welcome Jupiter into our evening (9:30 pm Central).

*Don't forget to cleanse your cosmological argument at the Annual Meteor Shower on August 12-13.

MEAN SLEEP

When an inflatable bed deflates around your rest, waking on the jungle floor can be a very stiff experience. The stress impressed upon my deltoids might best be massaged out with meat tenderizer & cleaver. Call the butcher. Call the baker. Call the mattress maker. Mr. Sealy, please posture me better - a lucky summer six will suffice!

HAPPY (BLACK MUSIC MONTH) PEOPLE

Seems it was the legendary soulster Charlie Wilson who pointed out that R. Kelly never misses musically. When you look over discography, you will too notice this is true. While many of his tunes do not suit my particular taste, ain't no future in frontin' on his ability to produce a hit. R & B has been riding on the wings of his talent for the last decade. From one R & B head to another, if Teddy Riley is the O.G., then Robert is today's long-reigning King. No matter what personal mistakes, can you really argue that he's at least among the greatest in the genre? Some people will argue anything...but why?

BIRTHDAY PRESENT POEM

The hole house smells like a party
There is power in the black one
Good friends tailor the tapestry
How fun to have a double fudge tongue
The little brother’s smile blooms
As he counts his half-a-buck
Disposable cameras focus zoom
Capturing the relic epoch

Take a pill & watch it grow
The ultrasound seals one below
Go, go, it’s your birthday!
In your name, we gather for earth day
Today marks the first of the rest
For your sake, we celebrate birth
