In stage plays, both modern and classic, like velvet time, which often rushes.

Rose acclaim filled long, chaotic days, of colorful masquerades and fulfillment,
Like Sleeping...

We were not a nation, but just a continent 
Africa with kingdoms 
then, we violently got segmented and detached by people who never understood us 
we were sliced as if we were bread,

Running cracks of lead flaked paint, spiders across the front door like a grandfather's
forehead. 
Its hinges squeal from years of inattention and forgotten maintenance
Floor boards moan a song of dismemberment and forgotten age
While musty gloom...

My cocoon tightens –colors tease
I am feeling for the air
A dim capacity for wings
Demeans the dress I wear

The image of morning mapping from the four cardinal points at the center of 
busy pedestrians running ups and down to the bottom of their energies, 
Chasing the note they never designed to decimate

The traffic was strident, lanes straight
the cars lined the street and froze rigid.
The cop with a glare of pure hate, directed
a line of gate crashers cutting.

Ten million years from now when we become mature
When Earth rotates much slower around a faded sun
Turned orange with flares of yellow visible to the eye
People will find true love in their metallic selves

I cast a line on pond to fish.
My lure plops,
and triggers circles to radiate out
as rings of ripples emanating

The lady lent me that which I now lack
Some men can abide losing such a prize
