Making a Break for It

Smash every
piece of
technology
you own
& shred
every document
& see
how far
you get
before they
hunt you
down.

Avenues of Escape

He explored
every avenue
of escape.


They all
looped
back into
the chaos.

phantom existence

Phantom Existence

We’ve got
it all
wrong how
life unfolds.


It’s not
a matter
of infancy
childhood
teenage years
young adulthood
middle age
old age
& senility.


It’s a
matter of
shifting perceptions
blending into
each other
over the
years pooling
toward the
end in
an expanding
detachment a
disassociation
from the
phantom of
our brief
flash thru
existence.

global warming

Global Warming

The temperature
shot from
20 to
105 &
back down
to -10
all in
the first
week of December
& Pacific
islands began
sinking into
the ocean.


In Washingon
the Senator
from Hawaii
made a
motion that
a committee
be formed
to study the
effects of
global warming.

here today gone tomorrow

Here Today Gone Tomorrow

One minute
you’re born
the next
you’re
dead &
buried.


In between
it’s bedlam.

indestructible

Indestructible

The feeling
of not
being able to
go on
hits me
multiple times
during the
day.


In between I
carry on
with a
reckless abandon
that makes me
look indestructible.
