Premium Member Two Hundred Thousand Feet
One first flight, Columbia’s name. Seven souls aboard, bound for fame. Six days, then ten, experiments thrive, Eighty hearts of science, dreams alive. Sixteen days, the Earth they skim, Reentry calls—light fades dim. Tick-tick, hiss-hiss, crack-crack—a sound, A breach unseen, the heat unwound. 1.67 pounds, a foam unseen, Pierced the wing, unstitched the dream. 40 miles high, the flames collide, Mach eighteen, as heat did stride. Mach...

Santa is humming as he checks over his list next to the snow. What song is that? Asks Blixen, who truly does not know. Not sure, Dancer answers, but this year we do not have to go. We are going Dancer and Prancer informed them, even if we are slow. We are too old, argues Blixen, and Comet falls...

Premium Member Two Hundred and Fifteen
Not really a big number. less than half the number of pennnies needed to buy a Big Mac without fries. But uncovering the remains of 215 children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, run by the Catholic Oblates of Mary Immaculate Order staggered my mind. Then I realized this was one of hundreds of schools, and when you do...

Two Hundred More Years
America. Is equality truly our highest priority? The equality of all white males, yes. We have been on the maps for over two hundred years, Promising the same things, But never delivering. A woman who works the same job as a man will still receive lower pay. Why is that? A man of African-American decent gets shot, The government doesn't even blink. Why is that? Is...

Two hundred steps to The mouth of truth Open up that gaping maw Crack wide the snapping jaw. In its eye no mystery Just a need A need to consume And strip my costume. Violins play as I walk I'll learn your insides next I'll be a student of your teeth An apprentice of true relief....

Two Hundred and Twenty Stories
Two hundred and twenty stories never written but etched in time were removed on a day which started fine. The silver worms traveled down beneath the floors carrying those whose day (lest they know) would be a chore, through the escalators and out the doors passing the facades lined with stores. Aristocrats and bourgeois run through...

Two Hundred Thirty Years
I can see them slowly marching off, Through the midst of time. Some looking back over their shoulders, (A few were even crying'") Oh, if I had the chance to speak with them, What do you think they would say? "Son, our efforts won your independence; Are using or abusing it today? With tri-cornered hats and muskets, We defeated England's best, To establish a new...
