Ekphrasis 2000

Its 2017 and my odyssey is far from begun. 
Nearly ending every yearlings dwindling 
Found above ground without Mona Lisa's lungs.
Without air is mortality. 
Anything else is air mortality. 
Painted on a picture is a mural on a bar stool room wall. Blank faces stare beneath the counter.
As I drink myself under the taker. 
Only to arise with the power of ten thousand men—Truth be told, that’s about less than ten thousand women, infant and children.
Elderly has forgotten and our honest approach takes a step forward.
How is unthinkable. Why is unimaginable. Anger is intolerable garble and forgotten is an ancient power that is truly god-like...forgotten
