			telling us to go for it on fourth and one;			
			more and more that’s done;
			we listen to failure smiling cynically
			as he whispers temptations in our ears.
			You’d recognize the guy,
			You’ve seen him...

The time travel machine turned a brilliant red.
Pushed down hard on the acceleration ped,

Solitude

I grapple with patches of sun
On the shady soil under the tree
Filtered through the leaves
And the blue stars in night sky
For some lofty words.

Rouse a good heart


Quest in sure time
Peace knows what rhymes
Opt for clear chimes
