Quiet night.
Quiet love...
Never told.
Damn my silence.
Wish you understood.
All I am is you.
I feel such a fool...
And fools are cheap these days.
1960 superheroes
arrived inside our grayscale tvs
sporting fringed jackets, leather chaps, and stars on their chests
we knew they were the good guys
the bad guys wore black hats

The light is window
morning balance,
black and grey.
Last night`s pub
washed out with dark tea,
pull the chain,pat the keys.
The front door shuts
unwillingly, steps are cold ;
time for the ghosts.

Famine Foretold
(Stalin, 1930, 30 million, and Mao Tse Tung 1960, 42 million, et al)
The land is the lord of men who live
Near yellow and lime-green fields,
Who plant it and till it and gladly give
All their toil, for crops it yields.
Dictators forced them to the modern way,
Profaning ancestral farms,
The land did avenge itself one day
With the prophesied, ancient harms.
Listen to poem:
The Thresholds of Tomorrow
David J Walker
It is 1959 and
the television
is my constant companion
Comforting me during breakfast
Praying at noon over meals
Saying good night before
Turning out the light sparkling
Over its ghostly screen
Flickering gray & green
Retreating into infinity
Speaking of the expanse and
The advanced enhancements
Of 1960
When new math counts life by
the numbers 1-0
there will be no returning from
the thresholds of tomorrow
T The Beatles and the Monkeys are here
H Hippies are spreading free love and good cheer
E Everyone recognizes the yellow happy face
S Signing up for the draft is a must
I I am so relieved my man is not sent to Viet Nam
X X-rated motorcycle movies are not rated yet
T There is a long hair revolt for both sexes
I It is anyone’s guess how corrupt this will make us
E Everyone’s child seems to be pushing away
S Serious TV watching is here to stay. Elvis, Bonanza, Ed Sullivan, UnderDog
