Sucks to be the letter n. But without it you can't spell NUTS!!!!









I’m actually African-American. But I had an accident when I was a baby. I fell into a tub of bleach in the backyard of my grandmother’s house in South Carolina. “Oh, Sweet Jesus,” she screamed. “My grandson’s been bleached into a Puerto Rican!!!”

 

My life has been hard ever since but I do smile anyway.

 

In memory of Maya: a rising spirit enchanting poetry.

 

Hey, can I buy The Clippers with a priceless story?

 

It’s on the N-word used on me affectionately.

 

It makes me feel much at home.

 

God bless the USA.

 

Seriously

Eclectic is a multi-tasking program that enhances human A.I.  What you see now is a picture that draws people to The Public Library, stories of our lives.

 

So how do we get to the future with history?

 

You have to wonder.

It began with homework to create a South Bronx tour book

 

It reads like The Great American Novel, dream fulfilled.

Gotcha





Is this a racist statement?
 
Mark Cuban, owner of The Dallas Mavericks, said he would cross the street if he saw a black guy in a hoodie come up to him.
 
Whether he likes it or not, I will back up Mister Cuban’s freedom to speak freely.
 
Once upon a dark city, Hispanics surrounded me in throwaway hoodies over hoodies because they were about to commit a crime that the CIA would classify as Black Ops.
 
They were members of a South Bronx gang called Power Rules.
 
They were summoned by a gangster I helped in childhood when I brought him art equipment to channel creativity on paper instead of the walls in our building. 
 
Years later, he saw what a Neo Nazi and others did to me at NYU after the first bombing of the World Trade Center. Coldly, my friend summoned his hit squad.
 
I could smell machine oil on the faceless ones in shadows. They packed heat to extradite Nazi into a van and to basement in Fort Apache for me to work over six feet under.
 
Instead, I went to the Sixth Precinct in The Village. Truth, Justice and the comic books…
 
My gangster friend warned me not to be naive. Don’t trust NYPD, he said grimly.
 
Things got worse because of police corruption in another version of Power Rules. 
 
All of a sudden, Nazi inflicted head injuries behaved like a time bomb in brain.
 
Fade to MRI and how many years passed by? What century is this? Who am I?
 
Technically being brain dead doesn’t mean I can’t dream of revenge by living well.
 
It’s time for this ghost in the machine to wake up world/ shake up system.
 
Come hell or high water, justice happens to evildoers.
 
Count down on it you shades of Nazi scum …

Words are dreams come true like nightmares


To Sleep, Perchance To Pitch Nightmares To DreamWorks: Real Life Comic Book Cyber Journal Of The Better Angels Of Our Nature By Danny Aponte of P.S 161

 

Chapter One: It was a dark and stormy knight of Jedi journalism

 

I was practically ordered to move my disabled mother out of her apartment and leave her furniture behind because we’re getting bunk beds. How I can prove what’s happening to us in The South Bronx? Some will shout this never happened like The Holocaust.

 

The new landlords have tried several illegal tactics to get us out so they can charge thousands of $$ in rent to new tenants. I went to several New York City agencies and experienced the indifference of several office drones tired of same old tired complaints.

 

They do their jobs to pay their own rent in this Naked City of 8.4 million people.

 

Should I report to the IRS on the offering of 8,000 dollars in cash to get us to move out like mice to cheese in traps? Basically it can’t even move us across the street to Ortiz’s Funeral Parlor. It cost more to rest in peace than it does to live life.

 

In some cases, poor people are made to suffer long by homelessness before they die quick in a city of illegal guns and roses that purges children of all ages from welfare.

 

This is survival of the fittest? This is evolution of the nature of the beast now rapidly eating away at the ceiling called The Ozone Layer?

 

I don’t want to raise hatred toward Hasidim. They’re better than previous landlords, Italians that, within a week of buying the building, tried to burn everyone with gasoline in a town that, once upon a time, looked like Europe after World War II. Children can’t turn off fires with tears, I once wrote in the spirit of public service rejected by FDNY.

 

Open a bedroom window across a funeral parlor to sense ashes of ashes that drifted miles away from Ground Zero and settled unreported over The South Bronx of Captain America. Where are The Avengers, kids? Where was The God of Moses when a survivor of a prison camp in Poland was thrown into a damp pit and held ransom by his Dominican employees in New York City? Here then is a story about 50 shades of Nazism or a lust for money. Where were you, Point Of View or POV of Channel Thirteen?

 

How can I prove all this and prevent an elderly mother from being forced into a death camp of a shelter which is what The South Bronx of very low income actually is.

 

I have evidence and if all else fails, well, writing this is just the beginning of painting a dark picture for the cities of the world.  Evicting bad tenants proves to the staying power of Earth. The next stop is to where all races are equal. Is this sound and fury signifying The Perfect Democracy from the so-called City of Angels? And The Oscar goes to…?

 

This is about bringing myself to judgment.

 

Patience just ran out

TILT by Danny Aponte






My disabled mother disappeared by The Hudson River inside a playhouse off Broadway.

 

Grief was kept from clouding childlike faith I would find her soon. Still felt guilt to have allowed her to go by herself to a ladies room.  Why did I allow myself be hypnotized by an audience and a movie screen, both props for stage actors?

 

I noticed tourists had notebooks.  A middle-aged white-haired woman had a cold stare when she saw me read her handwriting that went beyond borders of the page.

 

The fourth wall broke. I looked up and saw sky over West 38th street in Manhattan.

 

The small theater was out in the open air surrounded by cars, citizens and cameras.

 

Suddenly, a second-story subway train pulled up to a bus stop. It had no windows except for one to provide a view for pilots to travel cross-country and oceans.

 

A bedroom door opened and I sighed see my mother in the city that never sleeps.

 

All the city of the naked world is a stage where life movies on.

 

I dreamt writing this in my notebook.

 

See book. Read film.

 

Run, story, run…

Start Your Engines!

 
Once upon a millennium, when I was a boy, the greatest garage to build new tech was from the junkyards of a poor town, the only one connected to mainland of the USA.

 

This is about the Richie Riches of The South Bronx.  This is to prove Earth’s greatest resources are creative children in Public Libraries. However, there are no great stories without broken hearts and no refunds for wishes come true. Zoom in closer from Cyber Space to see kids working on robots at P.S 161, my alma mater. See how happy they are on making dreams reality for The National Science Fair.

 

They have a gift called A.I, short for Amazing Imagination, to evolve other A.I.

 

Are they ready to change the world in the fierce war of ideas?

 

Watch them kick up engines. Watch them roll.

 

Go time.

CHOW TIME CYBER



Quick chapter of me bloody life: I saw a sad woman on a park bench in London. I decided to lift her spirit with my story of a boy with magic powers. She was so delighted she hit me on the back of me poor head. I spent years in a coma or Stupefied while she was making endless pounds from my book. I don’t blame anyone for not believing me. But did it ever occur to anyone why she doesn’t make public appearances? Could it be she’s afraid she’ll see me in the crowd of her fanatics? Does she fear being deader than a parrot in Monty Python? Make me copyrighted words: I’ll see that witch burn like books at a Nazi Rally!!! LOL like The Phantom of The Opera I will! Ms Rollins, is it now? You should have buried me in the park when you had the chance. I have now unleashed The Spell of Satire to properly kill you in front of your audience now mine. Good night, dear

 

Do try to have sweet dreams of me smile.

 

Now which way to The Paris Review?

The Better Alien Of My Imagination




Looking back at Pac Man, I’ve always known information was going to be swallowed by ghosts in the machine. Is the Russian President putting everyone on when he accuses America of inventing the Internet to control countries? Nations are like the song by Tears For Fear: Everybody Wants To Rule The World. The Clash sang of police and thieves scaring the nations with their guns and ammunition, oh yeah. They both stole my ideas after head injuries. I can’t forget. I can’t let go. So I died and went to Google Heaven. 

 

Cyber Life after regular old media is more unbelievable than movies on Earth.

 

It’s been real
