Citrus hints of lemon and lime
Chewing on endless nuisance
Depth of a refillable hole dug
Mountain of trance unscalable
Footsteps dissolve into echoes
Swallowed by sharp currents
Through mist of fractured days
Incoherence sways in the breeze
Hands reach but never interlock
Notes fading over looping time
A story written but half baked
Lost in space between moments

A glass stands upon a table,
Watched by arbiters of existential
State.
They observe the glass, to give opinion
As to its contents.
The Pessimist speaks: “There is wine
In the glass, and it is half empty”.
The Optimist, with shake of head
And wave of hand, denies this:
“The glass is half full”.
There is a pause as all gathered
Ponder the wisdom of relativistic
Observation.
The Pragmatist steps forward:
“Half full or half empty, it is refillable!”
Silence shrouds the watchers, deep in thought;
The Opportunist elbows past and picks up
The glass, draining the wine within.
“Hmmm – nice” he opines,
“Is there any more?”.
Thus Heisenberg speaks through wine
Stained lips;
Having severed the Gordian knot of
Fullness or emptiness,
With pleasure and relish.

In A Heartbeat
One space, one beat, a pause… then life,
Anticipating, waiting, wondering,
One pulse marking, time, a single possibility,
A second, a clock hands tick and tock.
Borrowed time, a debt, a running tab,
A glass filled, brimming and sipped, enjoyed, savored,
One round, one potent, intoxicating round,
Non refillable, none refundable.
Drink deeply or live drop by drop,
The final docket, the tally to be paid,
When the toast has been raised,
A balance on life’s ledger, red or black?
(Stoic)
