Momentous . . .



Don't have to make excuses
For devotion of resources and senses
To pursuit of pure pleasure
In the creation of Momentous.

Second . . .

. . . part of an extended performance of "STAR" . . .


Had I tried;
Had I done all I could
With all my might
Would the ride
Give return on the price
Which was required?
Cast aside
Any thoughts of security.

First . . .


 Part of an extended performance of "STAR" . . .

You're a star.
Where you wanted to be,
You now are.
From afar
You appear not too different
Than me.
But the scars
You've acquired
Did not come free.

Newest . . .

. . . incarnation of "Moment" . . .


Hey you down there on the ground
Don’t you think that it’s time
You should fly
And do you consider the cost
Of the pride that you wear
Like a smile

Take this moment
You’ve got here
You may not
Get another try
Sometimes only
One chance comes around
At a time

It’s two that’s the number required
For the dance that we do
To get by
A few drag you into the mire
But they’re strong
Many wiles they devise

Doomed if you don’t learn
Farce is what you earn from the tragedy
What have we to gain
By being stubborn?

Confusion . . .

. . . Don't confuse free speech with fiction . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/conservatives-flock-free-speech-social-media-app-which-has-started-n1232844)
". . . Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, both announced on Twitter that they were moving to a new social media platform. . . . "I'm proud to join @parler_app -- a platform gets what free speech is all about -- and I'm excited to be a part of it," Cruz tweeted. . . Many others followed suit. Parler, founded in August 2018, touts itself as an "unbiased" social media platform focused on "real user experiences and engagement." In recent weeks, it has become a destination for conservatives who have voiced their disapproval of how mainstream platforms such as Facebook and Twitter moderate content. . . But as with every other platform on the internet, Parler's free speech stance goes only so far. The platform has been banning many people who joined and trolled conservatives. . ."

Baggage . . .


Six AM,
The buses aren't nearly as crowded
As the night before.
Someone said there was
Music and laughter
Behind all the shutters and doors.
What was all of it for?

Who needs friends?
There's barely a minute for breathing.
Everyone here works so hard.
There's no party.
When I reach my doorstep
I struggle to pull out my key.
Where's the meaning for me?

You see but you're unaware
There's life on the other side.

But there's no bridge to cross.
I'm looking through the fog
For some way out of here.
I've baggage here to toss.

Bless my soul!
I've read about you in the paper.
I've seen your picture somewhere.
When you speak it's in volumes and volumes.
I can't hear a word that you say.
Funny it happens that way.

I've been told
That envy's the thing I've been feeling
For your kind of work and your play.
But to tell you the truth
That it's only a wish
For a new kind of day,
When worry and fear melt away.

Could be
That a day will come
When you just might understand.

I’d like to go away.
And go there to stay.
But I can’t find the way.

So it goes,
But change never really comes easy.
Resistance is felt all around.
But inevitably something happens
That makes the old ship run aground.
We all stare in awe of what’s found.

Like me you appear to be
Looking for some meaning here.
