Stranger in a Strange Land
"I have been a stranger in a strange land." Bible, Exodus 2:22 The compass whirrs. North toward rock, south toward sand. East toward ice, and west toward river. Like a game of spin the bottle I take a chance on north, run my hands over stone and pebble, the spine of life a twisting snakeskin, shedding. The compass whirrs as words...

A Stranger In a Strange Land
I am just a stranger in a strange land, Finding it hard to fit in or understand. So many things in the name of progress, Many more were lost, but it’s to be expected I guess. They are gone, now leaving only memories, They now belong to part of history. We know we can’t bring back the time before, Once it’d passed...

I sat in my yard, revering to the sublime splendor.  A Setting sun lighted wheat fields with a gold fender.  The universe is a celestial art by a creator in the sky, Waves of fuchsia purple swept over the vast bay. A vast sense of relief overwhelmed the crowd,  Our balance is being reset by an enigmatic cloud.  On a club...

His name is obviously fake So he inoculates himself...

Stranger In a Strange Land
It was another quiet day, As the hours quickly slipped away. Shooting from the hip, On another daily trip. Away from the troubles of the day, In a place that never let’s you stay. Strangers wanting to be friends, In this life, chances are it all depends. Not the way but today is right, What will be ahead for me tonight? I see eyes...

A Stranger In a Strange Land
Where I walked the mile before No longer resembles the same soil Change I know is an inevitability But I feel a sudden variety English is what I speak But the people that I pass speak meek Meekly Russian, Indian, Pakistan and Chinese Not English so what am I to do? The place I grow up in I can’t speak...

Stranger In a Strange Land
Now life spurns me, granite and absolute; flinches at my touch, hardens visibly at my voice, morphed to dry-ice opiate in my presence. Avoidance of the plague, ducks and dives prizefighterly, evasive bob and weave, skirting contact, lest it's fabric may somehow contaminate. Spoken words, when life stoops to speak them, are naked critiques, each...
