On the Doppler Shift
On the Doppler Shift ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment. ~~~~~ I hear the humming man from afar, as he approaches where we are. The humming grows as he draws nigh and, dwindles when he passes by. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy […]
Dream Collectors
Dream Collectors ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment. ~~~~~ Is everybody a collector of dreams, even those at night, we don’t remember? Those on the edge of time and reason of which our minds barely catch glimpses. They inform our days, leading us somewhere, sliding sideways, from our […]
Isn’t That Odd
Isn’t That Odd ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ How then may I write? How can I stop, here for this time, now and none other? To sharpen my razor on a broken strop, all deep enough in drek we’ll smother. People who lead […]
Life’s Soundtrack
Life’s Soundtrack ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Are we surprised music triggers our emotions, hearing its ever-present backdrop to our world?

Pale Reflections
Pale Reflections ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shadows of trees, which do not exist, extinguished by sudden, bright lights. Four musicians, in white, tux jackets, take the stage, like waiters to serve us some succulent moments, Beethoven. I wonder about their histories and any tales to […]

At Least Today
~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Stop now, then continue, amble along city streets. Stroll down brassy, brightly-lit boulevards, replete, preening, peering at our distorted reflections, why, sumptuous shop windows, blank-eyed passers-by. Captured in, by all the lenses of many-eyed CCTV. Daily life’s digital Camera Obscura in […]
Climb of Beauty
Climb of Beauty ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ (Written while listening to der Winterreise — Schubert) Wondering, I wander within a wood, lost in thought, again, wonder without sight or care, though I might end up anywhere. I seek escape from my nightmare, to return to […]
