On the first day the pond was dug.
On the second day the rains came.
On the third day tiny butterflies massed .
On the fourth day whirligig bugs spun.
On the fifth day the doves drank.

Somewhere long ago in Africa,
a word was spoken.
The first thread was set on the loom
of history. The glorious, varied tapestry,
weaving our universal Mandela over
the last two hundred thousand years
emerged in it's multicolored -

I yell into the enveloping blackness, “What is this life?” I do beseech.
Is this fantasy swirling around my reality?
Or am I simply losing touch with my sanity?

We - Individual Human Beings
would ever see deeper than
Van Gogh.
Galileo could only wonder,

viewing God thru his child.

Pictographs, oracle bones. hieroglyphics,
triangles pressed in clay, the Phoneticians
great gift of permanence.
Thoughts, knowledge, entertainment,

Somehow in your strange mind—
down a stone-walled corridor littered with broken glass
and alive with angry shadows,
through an archway with its heavy, oak door splintered
and riddled with bullet holes,

Riding her bike along the path
she sees the intersection up ahead,
a busy main road interrupting her path.
She pedals faster, feeling the wind on her face,
the sun on her shoulders,
the crunch of the leaves under her tires.

Shall I measure the winds own weight
Replace Peter at the golden gate
Elevate the skies to match your eyes
Change the truth to match your lies
Glance at me but just once more
And I shall remove the sea from shore

taking turns lightly, effortlessly following the curves of the road,
Autumn changes the colors of her leaves—from green to yellow and soon to red.

Shine your heavenly light bright,
Come harvest my soul.

I’ll eat a cold cookie,
A warm cookie,
A cookie that melts,
The skin off my mouth.

Poke and prod with swollen atennae.
Another piece of rot lies upon my table.
Kin and acquaintances conspire while I eat my meal;
They'll canabalize my heart; I know they will.
This exoskeleton continues to snap under pressure,
The masters grab the adhesive, "Please take our blessin's."
And then I work.
