waiting in the silence
for the energy to run aground
yet what flotsam the surf gives up
it will have to keep
i always jetsom, i never lagan
Humpty Dumty, friends with superglue
are not always reality
reality does not always adhere
reality does not care
your freedom, illusions of the amaranth
i have no simpleton delusions, imagoes
i am afraid death the anodyne
eventually, every star consumes itself
Nemesis, my knowing smile
Ate, your mentor
she is behind the mirror waiting
as all ephemerals, you bore me
i enjoy the diestrus
remembering the notches, using other's vanities
every Blackwidow deserves a prince
the Prince of Pandemonium
San Blas 92 The Patient Stones

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the light of day
the darkness of night
twenty-four hours
a moment in time
one blink... total darkness
a bat does not care
o summer sunshine
fourteen hours... joy... heaven
then you got found out
one day... life for some
invertebrate imagoes
did you know... mayflies...
inch worms' measuring
time... pupating... emerging
beauty revealed
time in a void
light... darkness... how would you know
all conjecture...
time.. conjecture
astronomical distance
do we need to know...
a new planet... 'b'
time... we have not got it
not conjecture
have a good time
just how long is that... how long...
should be a life time...
time is running out
for all life on planet earth...
why are we warring...
time spent jousting
a waste of life... the moment
take time... live for it
philosophizing
me... but a mere mortal man
my muse guides my hand
my thoughts are my own
inspired by threats ignored...
i beg... heed nature
