Ësta es mi tierra
en donde he nacido
y por muchos años
en paz he crecido.
Coro:
Soy jipi y soy gringo
y me llaman trotamundo
voy por todas partes
por ser vagabundo.
Pero también el mundo,
el mundo entero,
ha llegado a ser mi tierra
por ser vagabundo.
Coro. . . Soy jipi y soy gringo . . .
Empecé mi gran corrido
muy cerca de la frontera,
pasando por el norte,
y la europa entera.
Coro . . . Soy jipi y soy gringo . . .
Seis años en Uruguay vivía
una bendecida vida,
y luego volví al norte
hasta llegar a Florida.
Coro . . . Soy jipi . . .
Acá la paso bién
tomando una copa,
disfrutando mucho sol
y evitando la ropa.
Coro :
Soy jipi
y soy gringo
y me llaman trotamundo
voy por todas partes
por ser vagabundo. (repetir)
[Sugerencia: guitarra y/o requinto, acordeón, tambor, y bajo. Tocar estilo norteño o tex-mex. Melodía: a escoger entre muchas melodías mexicanas que van muy bien con la letra.]

He Confronts the Future
He confronts the future warily,
as he always has.
He confronts the future
from other worlds,
and between the worlds.
He confronts the future,
the present, and the past.
These confrontations
will last.

79,000 Visits and Some Naked Weddings (viewer discretion suggested)
As I write this, we have just passed the milestone of 79,000 visits to this blog since I started it in October 2016. These visits have come from well over 100 countries scattered all over the planet. Better yet, the response has reflected all races and creeds. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Perhaps best of all, I have been able to be true to myself, expressing those things that I feel are important, in the way in which I feel it is important to express them. Emblematic of my current feeling is this recent poem, with its illustration:
It's a New Day
It's a new day, sisters and brothers,
embrace it, hug it, and enjoy it.
There is no more need for shame.
C'est un nouveau jour, sœurs et frères,
l'embrasser, l'étreindre et l'apprécier.
Il n'y a plus besoin de honte.
Es un nuevo día, hermanas y hermanos.
abrázalo, abrázalo y disfrútalo.
Ya no hay necesidad de vergüenza.
É um novo dia, irmãs e irmãos,
abrace, abrace e aproveite.
Não há mais necessidade de vergonha.
Estas nova tago, fratinoj kaj fratoj,
ĉirkaŭprenu ĝin, brakumu ĝin kaj ĝuu ĝin.
Ne plu bezonas honton.
Along with the theme of nudity, which to me is sacred, I will continue to present general poetry and photography of the highest quality of which I am capable. I will continue to present the pointed text of the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew; my commentary on the teachings of Rabbi Yeshua; writings on the Synoptic Problem; and anything else that comes into my head. Hopefully, my memoir series, Journal of a Naked Poet, will also continue.
As always, I'd like to thank all of you for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Thank you, merci, gracias, obrigado, wadó, ꮹꮩ.
Below is something I found when I was looking through old photos for the memoir series:
Anybody want a naked wedding? I can do that.

GTh Logion 37 / P. Oxy. 655 / cf. Mt. 6:28
His disciples said to him, 'When will you appear to us? When will we see you?'
He said, 'When you strip naked and are without shame. . . '
Ses disciples lui dirent: «Quand nous apparaîtras-tu? Quand te verrons-nous?
Il a dit: «Quand vous vous déshabillez et que vous êtes sans honte. . . "
Sus discípulos le dijeron: '¿Cuándo te aparecerás? ¿Cuándo te veremos?
Él dijo: 'Cuando te desnudas y estás sin vergüenza. . . '
Seus discípulos disseram-lhe: 'Quando você vai aparecer para nós? Quando te veremos?
Ele disse: 'Quando você se despe e fica sem vergonha. . . "
