Yuull Never Walk Alone / for Nina

Hearing lots of post-Nov 5th blued projections. Folks disheartened, confused, angry, depressed. Seriously considering leaving the empire. The empire hasn’t changed simply woke up with a new head figuring how to squeeze out the best for him, his family & billionaire cohorts. America — same today as the days before. Now that’s reason to look for the Poetz! Seek us out, hear what we’ve got to say!!! Call on us & be present with us next two Saturdays running: 16th Poetz Portal Poetz @ TekVenture; & the 23rd the OctoGenarian Tour @ PawPaw House. Come gift us your presence, & allow us to uplift your spirit with RealTalk, not the garden-variety canned corporate media blather that passes as news or information you need.
