Premium Member Multiplicity of the Self
Man is a jumble of contradictions, I know, a hard nut to crack! so unfathomable, so mysterious- at once a Satan and an angel. To the outer world I am someone. But in the well-guarded cellars of my privacy aren’t I different? hiding my innards to light, as every other man. Am I not a masked player in life’s pantomime! At times, I...

We're going on vacation  Words innocent and pure Visions of sun and beaches  Are conjured up for sure The marketers are genius At portraying family bliss A carefree family skipping Through waves not to be missed But just below the surface  Lurk undertones of woe The preparations necessary Belay the surface glow The focus turns to prepping The job, the house the yard The feeding of the pets The domicile...

Premium Member The Black Box
The Black Box They came to the house for the wrong reason. In the end… They didn’t care, any address would do, as long as the reports were made, and the numbers taken down before the beginning of the next shift. They came, and they tested and then they required adherence to the law. What law? The one law...
