Smaller Than Eyes
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Summer Harbor ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Steely gray is the world today Pleasantly cool for walking. It appears I have a lot to say, And that I never stop talking. My mind skips place to place Foot fingers to deepest space. Pleasantly cool for walking. Pebbled path, so […]
Carpe Hora
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ They know they are outnumbered ninety-nine to one. We, the larger number, say that nothing can be done.

The Hand You Drew
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ The ocean bubbles up in whitecaps, Like a pot of water starting to boil. No need for any programs or apps. Wait silently, without stress or toil.

Only Me
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ How many lives have already passed buried, burned, dumped into the sea? Will their bones or ashes even matter? Their flesh consumed, returned earth. Smoke from their cremation drifts up marking the sky in meaning, portent. Waste returned in rain feeds oceans. Yet does their bulk add to […]
The Person Who You Knew
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Remember me, so I can know myself. Talk about me, so I’ll always remain. Tell me of the person who you knew. Both what you loved and what hated. In the best loves, storybook romances There are things which make us crazy. If they, we linger a long […]
The Living End
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Oh, to find my voice again though I never really lost it. In the grass, a wanton wind. A bridge; I never crossed it. Lost my vision in my mind though I could always see it. Certain that I’d gone blind. Had a dream, couldn’t be it. Ocean […]
