TEXAS (it's all big)

I’m here from the bloody future
I’ve seen you’re and you’re demise
I’m here within these words, lurking as a spy
Every man’s a poet, woman, child, and dog
(The cat is not a poet - more like a demigod)
word peasants work the land getting from it what you can
and you write for different reasons
all cultivating Edens
but my God its an addiction and by God its an affliction
and by your God and my God and james dean’s God
what, if anything, can be done
what if nothing should be done
what if we all stopped breathing
would, then we live forever
doesn’t man always find a way
I’m here from the bloody future
mind if I go ahead and stay?

fun and serious...it is an addiction, ain't it....
by james dean's god, you'd better stay.
dig your work as always.
makes me smile and, more importantly, inspires me to think from a new angle.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
