some say
the kid is gone
a man now
in a world of new rules
new accountability
new maturity
new virility
new sensibility
new rationality
but will whisper the heart
in the far tomorrow
about the kid who never left
Coliseum
a scar in th’ earth
where a thumb signal
for life or death
was laud’d
then
in the most civiliz’d
of realms
Isolation
our eyes once
held hands
your footsteps
sunken into mine
o’er
the cold warmth
the beauty
the wonders
of winter’s boulevard
now all
by your absence
be a blur
striking me
colorblind
in all spectra
as my mind
trips
into frozen thought
we are not here
we are
not
Fishing in the Fog
eyes have sunken
through stilly water
open
asleep
yet drifting awake
inside that other world
thinner than th’ inlying soul
of time
tracking the footsteps
of a Meaning
after surfacing
will pen and paper
at the ready
Remember?
MallTel
air purifier?
safety from Nature’s witchcraft?
hereafter’s bird cage?
Unfolding
a hundred million years
from now
will mankind
move to other worlds
or fade away
entirely
if so
by then
it might be my turn
to walk
upright
