When these things start to make sense
that's when you should be afraid.
I tell you that the cock crows thrice
and Peter was a renegade
apostle in reverse
was he
compressed
like sand, becoming...us
impressed
a man who missed the bus
most deliberately
as he
was cursed with knowledge
like a tan -
the number of the beast is man
without a blessed thing.

Just as the sheath is a peltskin
from the knowledge of the tree
eat the fruit and spit the seed
to watch it so tenaciously
root again upon the steep
hill of our depravities
creating gods and demons, both,
depending on the need
of us.

Armageddon ain't a war
so put yer guns away and weep
and there ain't nothing that I saw
you won't see yourself...

I grieve for you, m'friend.

Apocalypse reality?
mocking everything you think
how it really is and when
you have got it figgered out

it spins around, to "spin again"
to keep you in the game.

'it spins around, to "spin again"
to keep you in the game.'

Absolutely right, serenity, says one dizzy dame to another.

"the number of the beast is man

you just might have figured something out here!

Are you sure you're not a mathamatician, instead of poet?

Loved it!

Hugs,

Dixie? Wb lady. You have remained in my thoughts and prayers. *peace*

Lady? I'm always flattered to know that you read my work as I am a great fan of yours as well. Thank you.

and grinnin' at Jo Jo. I knew I could make you call me.

Honeybunch, I is dizzy indeed. thank you

and grins to Kathy too--Hypatia would be the mathematician. Serenity only counts sheep.

Thanks all for reading--this is another one of those that just "fell outta the ceiling."

and jo jo, thanks especially for the stimulating conversation. Love you.
