the foundations gone missing, on sabbatical 
crowning of burning man both in and not in the news.

a biker town, a speedway town.  Not 
the fabled city of Dream Whip clouds
expressed into a flawless sky.  ...

Moving Forward
Moving Forward

People are judged by their past,
No matter how clean they may be now. 
People toss out the new you, 
And focus on the old now.
