If Only

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Despite our greatness, our most stellar accomplishments, a time will come when age robs us of the facility to continue, and we must decide it’s time to succumb. Not to death, but to the dearth, the lack of ability. How will we have the heart to simply […]

Alive And Continuing

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Slide and hide from life, yet you are sure to be found. Whether you end up in the gutter or discovered to great renown. Someday you too will be forgotten, relegated to the depths of time though I and others may breathe the same air as the […]

Believe Exhausted

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The body of the cosmos pirouettes. Do you feel dizzy or nauseated?

Who Can Resist?

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Oh, what we lack in education? The classical reference, mythic name or situation? What do we call bright dawn, but dawn? And ne’er would midnight be referred to as Erebus, like the fabled ship lost in search of the Northwest Passage. Its companion, the Terror, equally ill-fated […]

On Every Hand

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The multitudes are chasing me. Or is it, that I am chasing them? All in this together, the same race, same game, play, chorus, orchestra, despite how we choose to describe it. Come follow me, I will show you something so wonderful, though you brought it with […]

I Contain Multitudes

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Roll along the tarmac on your way to some distant destination; chosen or at random, a figure stabbed down upon the map.

Several Centuries

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Come here, come here, come see. It’s like nothing you’ve ever known or experienced in all your days or nights, not to mention the time in between.
