Which Way to Fall
~~~~~ Come then, let us dance and sing to the swift strumming of guitars. Let us play and caper about, like children or mad fools who share a place that we have left behind. It’s not a land you’re invited to. You left long ago. You say not. It’s within your denial, harmony walks along […]
Meant to Be
Rising of the Moon ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ “But wait,” you say. “How can any of this be true?” All the rote lessons we swallowed whole in school. Will you avow our lives are wasted? You’re a fool. Think about the young children playing long before they have ever been taught to hate or […]
Rolling the Die
On the Lookout ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Round and round a die tumbled and spun. Might it bring disaster or merely bring fun? Chances are, it’ll change with every throw. It is only rolling the die that we will know. Now, die, of course, may connote a death. Really, what do you think we […]
Conspires in Darkness
Duplicity x Two in Green ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ How many scams can one man assay before he’s known to flimflam? How many folks will murder or die before they see through his sham? Yes, and how many years will this madness exist before his shills won’t persist? The answer and why they still […]

~~~~~ When the absurd makes sense and sense becomes absurd. Here we go. Here we go. Around the wheel again. We’ve been here before. Let’s continue to pretend a thing’s exactly what it is. While it is something else. Do you want water w/ fizz or a nasty beer gone flat? Do you have any […]
Don’t You Know?
~~~~~ All our symbols of success and failure are much more than they might appear. Though they may not be what you think. Paper, metal bits, a conspirator’s wink. If you are rich, you believe I am wrong. All your wants, needs met, a happy song. If you are poor, you know that I’m right. […]
The Giftie Gie Us
~~~~~ How then cannot we see our own true selves? The poet’s answer realized in our social media, where we act half fools and do naught by halves. Constantly connected, on Twitter to Wikipedia. Do we ever look in this mirror that we created? Join we this grand communion, or voyeurs only. And judging others […]
Perhaps
Where the Waters Meat ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Another year has come and gone and man, it mostly was a bummer. Hope the new year has peace and sun. Perhaps, we will know next summer. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment […]

Driving Past Pandemic Views
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ As is true of the past, and even more so now, It grows smaller as it becomes days of yore. The future grows brighter, I am not sure how, as 2020, 2021 fade in our year-view mirror. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy […]
