“Please write what you want to be when you grow up...
and remember: 
There’s no wrong answer here.”

She found most answers to be the same as every...

Flawless imperfections without divine words of remorse
saturated the light within my fractured soul
a situation transcending as silence took its course
upon awaited trepidation I hand to you the scroll

Lawless obligations pack the pages of the script
within lies the endless content of my reasoning
misapplication and disregard is...

Not to let the air out of anyone's tire but it's really not fair to compare religious 
writings to modern science. Scientific theories for one thing are models of 
reality (for example)       and do not really claim to be...

Two days before the deadline.
Fingers flying frantically,
Condensing a lifetime’s achievement
In 500 words or less.  

Eyes are bloodshot from the long night, spent
Staring and scanning every line, every blip

Like an embalmer, decorating wounds,
To...

Our face pressed to the window pane
Reach out? We won't, just gaze oblique
A fool's attempt to ascertain
A solid veil through which we see
and yet through which we will not pass
So crystal clear, it lets us be

Going on adventures, finding hidden treasures.
Journeying and exploring in deep dark unknown places.

ESSAY ON DRUMS

The drum sounds slowly its cadence
the beat, beat, beat marks a march
and through the air reverberates.

The tramp of a company at quick time,

The thump of rotating Huey blades
as they back stroke the air;
gingerly alighting...

There was a time in the Old West
When people tried their level best
A special breed
