What days are these
  That make memories
    Swell up as flotsam
      At hightide

I look out, see
  Places, faces that
    Might have been me
      Had I taken a different turn

Or signed on
  Another steamer
    Carries me along
      Groove of acceptable familiarity

Now somewhere in a backwater
  I find so little
    Motion about me
      Strangers speak odd man I hear

Nothing new as I weep
  Not with my eyes of course
    Those ponds were drained long ago
      Hearts blood inhumanity man so binding

But the tracks on my gray matter
  Often fill with saltwater
    Overflowing down ravaged spine
      Pain of man throughout body human

This world history tragic ignorance
  Ranting wanton intolerance
    Solipsism mankind be thy host
      Parasite devouring defined as merely noun

You out there, do you ever feel
  The rest of you out there, each
    Or does fear so completely bind
      And blind you, I've lost you completely

People often remark to me
  After reading a passage or two
    Too often all about them exclaim
      What the Hell does all this mean

Precisely
   I reply

To borrow a word from BSQ above, Welcome, Awesome Poet, to Passions! Please, check your E-mail for a Special Greeting!

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
