He sat there, the perfect noncombatant. He ate and drank and slept and awoke and did not change the world. Looking at him I said to myself, 'See, it is possible to live in the world and not change the world.' He read the newspapers and watched television and heard in the night screams under windows thank God not ours but down the block a bit, and did nothing. Without Charles, without his example, his exemplary quietude, I run the risk of acting, the risk of risk.

The Evacuation of Guantanamo Bay

On October 22nd 1962, nearly three thousand noncombatants fled Naval Base Guantanamo Bay.  This man, Rear Admiral E.J. "Jerry" O'Donnell, commanded the installation.  He's my grandfather, and I put together a piece of family history in his honor.

less devoted, less concerned with lesser issues

more allergic, more in tune with many ailments

converse with savior of earth & thunder, he then goes on, lists his allies, allah, muhammad & poseidon 

now he darts off on rare subject matter, & with cascading eyebrows articulates panacea

i tell him people are calculators, only efficient if you're pushing those buttons

believe it believe it believe it

well let's let you carry the weight of a drifter, we doubt you've attempted, well, never say "together"

& the sun heads west towards the desert islands as the first of few to go through the motions

chance comes from the north, froze us in our footsteps, cruise the latitude like the back of our hands

less devoted, less concerned with lesser issues

then doggy paddled upstream, the hemlock along the shore to the darker sands that help us remember

throughout the night i hear mumbo jumbo, all i make out is "confusion confirms indecision" 

ambiguous, equivocal, noncombatant, equal to all & all the average impartial

correct it correct it correct it

well let's let you carry the weight of a drifter, we doubt you've attempted, well, never say "together"

& the sun heads west towards the desert islands as the first of few to go through the motions

chance comes from the north, froze us in our footsteps, cruise the latitude like the back of our hands
