Words cross-culture intellectual play Is American way of life turning soil to decay? Where are all the vivid eagles? Where does the osprey dive? Hush golden thrush, demons drool Traffic screaming graveyard profanity Nobility cries fearing Nazi rule Friends split their final episode Murmuring lost fruits gambling sugar For low fat adaptation to stucco High on the rocks we flee to Vancouver Will our moments flicker out? Beyond a safe zone of FAQ’s Can flutes curve split seconds? Can we be seen stepping upward? With hope dancing above our heads Where a treasury of skulls can be found Among Egyptian tombs Playing Capricorn games, wearing masks Like Halloween at a cocktail party Where some woman is the king of dreams Lions create a paperback infernal Helping man walk through a maze Am I that Valley beyond? Thank God for Penicillin Cosmic engineers grow rings around the sun Judas returns from Heaven What a broken sword he was? Yet his purpose made tomorrow closer While we’re fighting the Middle East The other side if Ireland dreams Green Ireland sends out radio signals About autonomous navigation Who’ll soon write science fiction! Telling of teeth angels grew And storms Howling like dogs Earth Magic learning kung-fu Magnifies luminary in clouds Where the mist of all seas collect A world of difference is born to exile Soon to be a grave of bones While Jesus and I break a wishbone For a high speed undersea railway While massive floats move the UK I wonder what stories James Michener would write today? |

That was a rollercoaster and I couldn't stop. Didn't want to. I can't even remember all of the topics you touched. It was a whisker. Sincerely, B |
