Ran as slow as he could he did And the past fell apart behind him. In the present they would not find him. Always fought the good fight. Fought like hell then took flight. Saw that something wasn’t right But slowed down a little too fast. Took everything off the gas. And when time came […]

I’m going into space now. I’m going into space. First the air won’t fly anymore. Then flying isn’t flying. Then I can’t recall if the stars came out. And neither can the other guys.

I saw the crap around the sphincter muscle of the belly of the beast. I saw good men go bad. I saw greed deny safety, hurt people and beat down moral. I saw murder in my brother’s eyes and he was looking at me, his disagreer. My god, I saw waste. Theft. Saw lying and […]

Looking the other way. How is that okay? You swear an oath. You speak in code. The bad man rode beside you. Was blue but not the true blue. It’s not a color but a cover For some. The badge as a power for good Is done. The people don’t believe they’re here to serve, […]

It didn’t kill the buildings. It only worked on people. The churches, they were left intact. Bells rang in the steeple. The king took a knee and A damn long pause. Gave out more candy than Santa Claus. Someone said that sports was fixed. A man named Kobe Bryant. The beggars shut him up so […]

It was one early, February covid day when I broke my usual silence. I was qued up with a gaggle of fellow gasoline serfs in our local co-op fuel station, collectively drifting in and out of linehood when a member attendant queried the actively waiting. “Pump number 4?” She asked without prejudice.
