A) 2 Q8) HEALTH TIPS THAT WORK 4 ME REVIEW of GOOD BYE HEMINGWAY
Young, homeless man at 6th and Bryant McDonald’s is standing in center of restaurant holding big, full, clear plastic bag and nonstop jumping on one foot. Going ‘round him she gets in line.
He smiles at her from his six plus height and shouts over the clutter in the place, Hi!
She directs her smile at his beautiful eyes.
I love baskets, he tells her. See my baskets?
Amused, her smile broadens.
He gets serious, starts turning his bag ‘round and ‘round. Oh! here it is. He’s smiling again. I love baskets. See my baskets?
She can see them, varnished wicker, fragile, dainty, fringed with lace.
Suddenly. He’s smiling again, his eyes shining like jewels. I’ve lots of these, He tells her. His hand is in front of her face holding a box full of colorful spheres to her nose. I’ve lots of these, He repeats.
She can smell the fragrant soaps of bright colors nestled in lace and ribbons. She looks up. He’s smiling broadly . He forgets to jump on one foot. He holds still. He holds still.
Then his hand is reaching for hers. Reaching. Here,this is for you he tells her.
Silently, questioning him, she just stands there looking up at Sapphire Blue Eyes.
It’s yours. It’s yours, he tells her. He’s delighted. He laps up the surprise on her face. He’s a baby bouncing on his mother’s knees. He’s a boy in love for the first time. He’s a young man photographed next to his first car. Holding the scented box of bright colored spheres, He’s reaching, reaching... It’s yours, He tells her and finally places the box in her hand.
Thank you. Thank you. She says, and under his watchful eyes, looks down to slip the fragrant soap box into the side pocket of her briefcase.
When she looks up again he’s pulling his plastic bag out the door. And over the clatter at 6th and Bryant MacDonald’s, shouts at her: Remember me, when you take a shower!

PORTRAIT OF A COUPLE
I see them dancing. Where did they go wrong?
Was it because they turned too quickly?
Was it because they danced too fast?~
She learned though. And survived him by not dwelling on the past.
And when the memories kept intruding, the years of hunger,
recriminations, the hatred. Yes, the hatred. The hope. Yes, the hope.
The love. Yes, the love. She thought only of the dancing they did
in those years before he made his last journey. Before he went
into that last number. Before he took his last step.
She's sure he knew. She's sure he remembered too,
many times, years later, El Mambo Perez Prado Aaaaaaaaaccc.
The Cha Cha Cha Ay! que rico Cha Cha Cha.
They danced it in that Bar Lounge in San Francisco.
A Peruvian band was in San Francisco, friends called to tell them.
They got a baby sitter. Changed, The Little Black Dress.
for her with the white buttons. The opened shirt for him
with slacks and sport jacket. Put gas in the car. An extra dollar,
it went far then. And they were off. And danced. And he played the
maracas and the palitos He was good at it all.
And the women warming the plastic covers looked up begging him
with their eyes to dance with them. He obliged. Ever the dancer,
ever the charmer. And when he walked them back to their
plastic cover seats they were all aglow. Rouged cheeks all the
more prominent, and lips as moist as the behinds they sat on.
He was also a body builder when body building hadn't even been invented.
So good, at so many things. Why wasn't in him then, to be a husband,
a father? Was it because his own hunger knawing at him was more
powerful than his children's? And had to be fed, every moment of every day.
So he couldn't feed anyone else morally, emotionally, physically?
There is no going back now. I see you as you were then.
The young, much too young, good looking couple full of promises.
I see them dancing. Where did they go wrong?
Was it because they turned too quickly?
Was it because they danced too fast?

Writer gives U a gift: SUMMER BEAUTY. HEALTH TIPS......
Writer mst thnkfl, woke up 2 my new poem online @ My_Story_Lives & I say 2 publshr, Ur graphics hv made it a vision of beauty that I will always enjoy. Thnk U, Claudia.
SUMMER BEAUTY
all a woman needs is a touch
of the sun on her cheeks to
make them rosy.
On a beautiful summer day
all she needs is the breeze
caressing her hair to create
tendrils that fall over her
forehead on the side of her face
and emphasize her cheekbones.
On a beautiful summer day
all she needs is the chicness of
her own fashion to create the
magic that spreads all over her
lover's life. Changes him makes
him ready for the night.
When the night comes in full moon’s
rays in silver cloak wrapped in musical
notes high in crescendo low in
prelude they dance and twirl and bend
and turn and oh! the pleasure under
the full moon its rays penetrating them
following them chasing them shining on
them one minute the next hiding them till
morning is come in a beautiful summer day.

Writer Writing against SB 1070:
IMMIGRANTS:
We are a protest that screams
tearing the silence of conformity.
We are a protest that screams
revealing our talents: contributions
to progress, peace, innovation, solidarity,
like a magenta flower, an aphrodisiac
we seduce with ideas, its perfume
wrapping you, in bright elixir swaying
opinions with its maddening scent.
We are a protest that screams
memories brought with our luggage
from other lands: Flower petals hidden
between pages, of a book. Letters
turned dried-up-ink-flakes on worn
out paper. Broken doll, childhood
companion. Mother’s watch with worn
out silk band. Father’s moment of glory
in faded yellowed photo. Veil and
ribbons of most Sacred Day, of her
First Holy Communion. Prayer book
with blessed stamps of Guardian Angel
wings spread out protecting little girl.
We are a protest that screams
against organized Holiness, organized
Glories, organized Truths, Frauds.
We are a protest that screams
tearing the silence of conformity.
