Does silence speak? 
Does silence fix problems?

Thousand narrations to same story
Every day a new story
…

Whether truth is perceived or false

Depths beneath Sapphire blue
Faded Faces, stuck like glue.
Hearts pulling.
Minds pushing.
Referees’ decision.
Under review.

Digital pixels in digital screens
Versing voices that go unseen.
Spectators chanting.
Players snarling.
Chaos looms.

Grandstand.
A Cameraman. Head shakes.
Lost man.
Lost man.

The Garbage can.
Understands. He`s...

 LACKING THE DEVOTION
TO STANDOUT 
ABOVE THE CROWD

AND EVEN PROUDER TO KNOW
HIS WAYS OF LOVING
SHE WAS...

where leaves on trees have shed their green,
and the sky is a wish-washy grey...

We see...

The main attraction 
The hairs on your head standing up
Electricity says, “what’s up?”
Standing in the shadow - a pup

The satisfaction
That one gets when displaying claws
Jumping through hoops, the hees and haws
Delirious from fighting a cause

Roaring...

The bear tried to explain what he was doing in town
But the officer was scared, so he turned him around
Slapped on the cuffs and told him to get into the backseat.
The bear snapped those cuffs,...

A brand new documentary
A first for archeology
The Western Wailing Woolysaur
He’d never spotted one before 
Neither had he seen one dead
It’s very spikey and it’s red
The spikes it has are everywhere
Some poke through its wooly hair
It’s...
