In Windowpanes
That each dull day and each despairing act
Builds up the crags from which the spirit leaps.'
- Phillip Larkin
I
Framed in grey the drab light
spills from white expanse;
reaches over the goings of many,
their eyes swimming in conformity,
heels pounding the firmament
to somewhere gone meandering,
catching a sideways smirk.
Feeling the midday confusion,
striding along with purpose,
the many among the few notice
where everyones direction points --

Hero, Monster or God
"Mythology can be defined as the sacred history of humankind. "
- Gerald Hausman
Peggysoarus
As silvered wings
shrug off the gale,
night descends long
her spectre pale.
High above it all,
soaring in the mists;
a soul gallops untethered
in a heavenly tryst.
To feel her heart beat
is to flutter great wings
and drift into sleep
as moondust she brings.
A creature of myth ...

Herd In Demise
I
In final realms we carry on
and in so going hear a song,
undefeated in a slow refrain,
unretreating with none to blame.
Darting eyes still seek relief
behind a guise where few retreat;
onward stagger heavy feet
if I am to lie this won't repeat.
Health betrays revealing bones,
a framework once so stealthily grown:
I am not what I appear,
under this mask I still know fear.
II
Pressing on we know not pause,
to hell have gone our former laws
the throes of which are faltering
as we...

The Cheesecake (Going Home)
Walternate Universe AAGM-44
Alpha-1
GGMA-53
ROO-92
“Put more pressure on the wound” Beta-2 said but WAE’s hands were soaked in blood
A bullet had found its way into his chest through the Magnificent suit and it looked severe
“I’m sorry” WAE muttered, but the Exiled only smiled looking at him and then at us
“I get to go home and see them” he muttered then whispered something into WAE’s ear
WAE moved his hands and the blood started flowing even more through the suit
He...

The Super Jumper
Walternate Universe – AAGM-44
+3,411
“Wake up gentlemen” Beta 2’s voice came over the earpieces, out of breath
It was as if he was dealing death and lightning somewhere in the distance
“Mags, Masters, I need you two to join me in a sec I’m going to need your help
And the rest of you, stay put, I got something big and I need your assistance”
A second later a portal opened up behind the Master and the Magnificent
In the background we saw hundreds of portals that looked like circling lights
Beta-2 was moving the rest of the citizens...

The Rescue
Walternate Universe – AAGM-44
Once we were inside the control room where our alternate was kept
The braces weren’t letting us teleport by some kind of glitch
“Damn it” I said as I tried to help and hold our weakened alternate
WAE said “We’re going to need to fight our way out of this bitch”
The Master kicked a door open, the Magnificent flew in the air
Then he threw some tiny magnets that clung to the ceiling and walls
When soldiers met us in the large ballroom their guns went flying
Anything metal would get stuck as we made our way...

WW-1234
UCCW-6291
EOW-88Z
And a buttload of others too many to list
Hundreds of zeppelins fill the night sky all around the city
Their search lights scan the dark and lonely streets below
Television screens on empty shops tell an entire country
Invaders are there for a government overthrow
The plaza in front of the presidential palace is heavily guarded
The steps are filled with armed soldiers with a watchful eye ...

The Plan
Walternate Universe AAFM-55
AAGM-44
Beta-2
“I was part of that rescue team, me, our Gamma-3 alternate…
Several Alpha-1 and Beta-2 operatives” the Exiled said
“When we found Beta-2 in the prison, we hardly recognized him
This dictator was running wild with fear and anger, a total hothead…
We called ourselves the sorcerers, others thinks it’s magic
We were in and out of there in less than an hour
But before I left I snuck into one of their researcher’s quarters

The Dictator
Walternate Universe AAGM-44
Little James was an only child, raised in a wealthy household
On his eighth birthday he ran away for a couple of hours
He didn’t get a toy he wanted so he went and hid in a park
That was the night James witnessed a stranger’s magical powers
Sergei was the first interdimensional traveler to this particular world
He was there to survey and report back to Alpha-1, all routine
However he didn’t notice that a child hiding in the bushes saw him
James went home and later told everyone what he had seen

“So they want us to go back?” the Exiled said “somehow I’m not surprised”
“Yes” WAE replied “We have the Master and Magnificent, and hopefully you”
“What do you do?” the Exiled looked me “What kind of skills do you have?”
But I drew a blank “He’s a poet” WAE said, “this Wallyroo, number 92”

WAE: Walter’s Alter Ego – In Person
Walternate Universe MTV-86
“Wally, you crazy mother…” my alter ego began but I said “LANGUAGE!
You need to watch your mouth and not spill any erratic or erotic comments!”
“Take it easy cheesycake” he said “I won’t violate the rules” (4th wall break)
*wink*
I said “I need to make it through this challenge but with you it might be a torment”
“Chill baby, you should be thanking me, I had to clean up your mess” he said
“What mess?” I started but he said “the incident at the bridge, the guns, your daughter”
“I forgot” I said “you dropped the guns...

The Miracle and Mystery of St. Eden’s Hill
Walternate Universe – GGMA-53
Though they had been unable to conceive children for a long time
Jim and Linda had been happily married for nearly twenty years
It was on Linda’s 39th birthday when they got the news
They were expecting, needless to say they were both in tears
The following Spring they a had a little girl, Clara
A year and a half later, a boy, Jimmy Jr.
Jim was a humble man, a good man, a decent person
He had a beautiful home, a beautiful family, he had all the luck
All the years of waiting seemed to have been worth...
