Lately, find it interesting and, occasionally, enjoyable...
Theatre
a pause less the pose,
public or private, does not
golden silence make

Disagreement
he called it a fall
as he saw her heading down
she called it a flight

give me twenty years
and I will be the table
you lay your cards on

Hope
false is the hope of
reaching bottom when one finds
self in a black hole
reaching bottom when one finds
self in a black hole

Of Birds
Some birds come early
And some other birds come late
The right birds stay put

She Pinches The Air
Sometimes, she pinches
the air, quite on purpose,
to feel its texture...

A Short Concise History From The Paris Commune To The Present
Collective vision
attempts actualization
A 'happy-go-lucky' "I" triumphs
gets cooked thoroughly
Served is the alienated 'self', unsustainable
shredded in a thousand pieces
each piece a tear
A thousand tears of a thousand flavors
splitting speedily to sand atoms
Closing the window to freedom
opening the gate to nothingness and less...

At The Library
He was the first to enter the library that day.
Took a few steps in.
Stopped.
Looked around.
Seeing is believing...
What you see is up to you...
He saw the librarian.
- Three shades of pale -
Felt at home.
Approached her.
- Doing research on the future...
Just in case we get there...
- Time machines are down...
- Book research...
The future and the librarian
kept their distance.
- Any suggestions?
- Come back later...
- I'd rather wait...

Of Space And Locus
Footnote at the top.
"Eternal Recur of the Same", Nietzsche's concept of all existence repeating itself infinite times in similar form.
Lost again
and no one can find you
Accidentally authentic once more
- happens to you a lot -
The "eternal recur of the same", sums you up
going in circles
and always ending up on square one
or
not mapping your way back
and always getting stuck
at the point of no return
Yet, familiarity does not exclude strangeness
Puzzled you seem
with...
