I’ve got
a cell
phone the
size of
a small
candy bar
that’s
nothing but
a phone
& a
big-screen
computer that
never leaves
my desktop
& needs
to be
plugged into
a wall
socket.
I use
it almost
exclusively
for sending
out Shards.
99% of
what I
do search
for on
line are
images to
accompany
the Shards,
& I’d
love to
see the
profile NSA
is piecing
together
from these
images.

Dogs cats
tree limbs
& stardust.
Concubines
turbines
swizzle sticks
& lepers.
Legal action
flat tires
wishbones.
Cloudy skies
hidden treasure
dripping needles.
Second thoughts
first confessions
assignations.
Battle ships
battle axes
lost &
found denials.
Once the
voices stop
the action
starts.
Sign here.
Go over
there.
Fight.

Some people
arrive late
& leave
early.
Others arrive
early &
leave late.
Others still
arrive early
& leave
early while
some arrive
late &
leave late.
The really
smart ones
don’t
show up
at all.

Memories are
80% fantasy.
The rest
is a
safe house
for the
fantasies
to hole
up in.

I can
still spin
the roulette
wheel of
life with
vigor &
panache,
but it’s
become pointless
since they
took the
little white
ball away.

They told
me I
had Alzheimer’s
shot me
full of
truth serum
& chained
me to
a wall
in a
pitch-black
cell.It’s either
therapy or
a new
form of
interrogation.
