SIMPLIFY
Michael Bettencourt-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comI came across Henry David Thoreau’s words “Simplify, simplify, simplify,” and they catapulted me
back to my undergraduate tenure at Harvard College, when those words, read by an anxious
working/middle-class boy, plunged into the heart of the land of privilege, freed him from his anxiety.

BODY AND SOUL REDUX
Arthur Meiselman-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comAt 22, she was a woman, not a teeny bopper, not a hip-hopper., not a "who am I? girl -gone-wild", not a single girl who can't wait to grow up and yet can't disrobe from her over-the-head hand-clapping teeny-tweeny costume.
Arthur Meiselman

FREEZER BURNED
Claudine Jones-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comAfter the year I've had ... broken foot, fouled up retina, ancient mother repeatedly
on the edge of giving up only to drag herself up off the precipice, generalized
sense of helplessness, bouts of retail therapy.
Bring on the binge-watching, bitch!
Claudine Jones

TRIGGER
Nathan Thomas-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
There’s one trigger warning I wish I’d see more often
in this New Year, and have the promise kept.
“We’ll grab you by the feels, and we won’t let go.”

Nathan Thomas

KARMA AND MITZVAH
Patrick Walsh-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
My Mini-Oscar for 1998 would have gone to Martin Landau
for two scenes in Rounders, one about karma
and one about mitzvah. 
Patrick Walsh

DIVINING THE POLITICAL YARD SIGNS 
Les Marcottt-Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
Last November, Democrat Robert “Beto” O’Rourke nearly accomplished the
impossible.  He came oh so close to toppling an incumbent senator from the
reddest of red states – Texas.
