genius?
sometimes you are in its minimal spotted light...sometimes!
other times you just know you've been touched and you freeze,

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Tulum
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: October/2013


Tulum, 
in the morning sun,
 is like a diamond 
shining brighter 
than
any diamond 
that 
your eye's

sea route
that linked
Mexico
to 
Central...

Since a kid I was never really into religion
So many to choose from how do...
