a sorrow that conceals itself within 
the curl of the corner of her lips.

to vilify our most public egotistic victims
and predators.

Who would it help
to dismiss, with terrifying labels,
iconic reproductions of sacred history?

But, global legends
contain lessons

It was in the year 2040,
in Vienna was where it all began,

...Now human cloning is always borderline,
but it this case all agreed to it, fast,
a chance to disprove a major religion,

The three of us on dark, dark October night
We parked our car and took our flashlights

I once had everything 
too much in fact 
confidence surging
until it told me that

above an inert body that is hers.
She sees the surgeons cutting
and then sees their frantic efforts
as they try to bring her back to life.
She had died and yet is able

To Our No Relationship Association,

I suppose we will never find
a healthy way to prove
Lovelock's Gaian Hypothesis
we have nothing left to lose
by cooperating more Win/Win
and competing less Lose/Lose.

There are many gambler's fallacies
the statisticians say 
each roll of the roulette table
