Your bloguero’s muse seems to have gone on vacation. Or at the very least has decided not to take his calls. He dials, asking for inspiration, and what does he get? He gets to leave his message after the beep.
His muse, however, isn’t the only one who has ostensibly cut your bloguero off. That would be too simple. No. There are also 537 politicians in Washington who are unwilling to address your bloguero’s concerns. More important, they also categorically refuse to demonstrate that they have souls. Evidently proof of the capacity for compassion is far less important in the Nation’s Capital than spurious questions about documents showing live birth. And what one does to the least of my brethren, the poor, the elderly, the sick, is apparently far less important than cozying up to plutocrats. There’s nothing new about this. Not really. But your bloguero senses that among those who wish to speak truth to Power, exhaustion stalks their every step, and frustration, their every thought. To no one’s surprise, the politicians curry favor with those fat cats who pay for their almost eternal tenure, not with those pajama wearing DFHs like your bloguero who chide them, heckle their bloviation, and insist on pointing out their stupidity. They will show us: just you wait.
The Dream Machine is something your bloguero picked up at the Market of Dreams. You can find in it the influence of Eduardo Galeano, whose trilogy, your bloguero has completed. “Memory of Fire” is essential reading. Your bloguero wonders why so few people have heard of Galeano and why so few in the US have read him.
Your bloguero’s muse delivered two very nice Haiku before leaving for Ibiza or Tulum or wherever muses frolic when they’re not working.
A Plague of Forgetting is a history lesson. It begins with bananas and will change the way you your supermarket’s banana selection.
Your bloguero notes that this Digest is a weekly feature of the Port Writers Alliance and is now posted Saturday morning. Your bloguero will see you next week, if his muse shows up for work.
