Rain Dances

Frantic plips pulse and fade

In confident puddles 

That will mud

That will crack

That will forget 

But not today

Insistent streams surge and swell 

In search of rest

That will irrigate

That will stagnate

That will evaporate

But not today 

Immersive rains quench and quell

In expectant thirsters

That will run

That will sweat

That will thirst again

But not today

Happy 4th of July

The emergence of the United States of America is a multi-faceted and complex social anomaly in history that has accumulated great power based on the vulnerable premise that there is no guarantee of self perpetuation. How America began could also be its own demise and because of this potential, there must be humility and generosity and the flight from tyranny at all costs. Accumulation of great powerr while maintaining an intentional flight from tyranny is perhaps the most challenging call to any social institution and at the same time is the only way to sustain it. Power, in its very best use, is leveraged for the benefit of as many as possible, not as few as possible. So long as America leverages its power for the benefit of the many and not the few, there is a bright future for this nation. ‎

The nostalgic future of clock museums

Time lost track of me

Oh the blissful abduction of flow

Unconscious

Hyperaware

Time flew by

And went looking for me

But I was here all along

Very here

So here

Extraordinarily here

More here 

Than time would have ever allowed

Hidden in plain sight

Cloaked in laughter

Covered in friendship

Clouded in love

Time tried to hunt me down

But I was too happy to be found 

And eternity went deep

Outside the radar

Undetectable

Undisturbed

And free

And when time finally found me

It couldn't contain 

Memories pushed back

On the intended occupation 

For memories of the past

Pushed right through me

And became anticipation 

Time failed

Time jailed 

Time wailed

And I...

I remembered the future
