Red Shifted
Red Shifted ~~~~~ Watching the news last night, noticed something, caused a fright. Stories full of depraved, depressing sights, ads for new medicines, so I will not die tonight Told who died, was shot, or another dastardly deed.

Man Makes the Clothes
Man Makes the Clothes ~~~~~ Since I was small, I have so often heard it said, clothes make the man, that it’s become clichéd. Dress for success, mantra many a parent chants.

Always a Surprise

A Single Tear
A Single Tear ~~~~~ What net of illusions do I hope to cast? Magician’s misdirection my future, past. Always on the verge of fathoming truth, feeling all makes sense, a folly of youth. How then could I have thought, known? Imagine imagination’s leap, now grown. many ways, not only down or sideways, wander, stars transfixed, […]
Coward’s Blood
Coward’s Blood ~~~~~ CRIME SCENE, DO NOT CROSS A sad, sick reminder of all our loss. A yellow streak down leaders’ backs, too cowardly, corrupt to end these attacks. Mass murders, victims, now names. Pain and anger for their families remain. Senate’s money machine oiled with blood. Let’s sweep them away in an election flash-flood. […]
Always Sunrise, Always Sunset
Always Sunrise, Always Sunset ~~~~~ Now, the phases of the moon, the constancy of the fiery sun. It’s always sunset, somewhere, Hours before the sun will rise. Sunrise eats night, sunset, day.
