Some Men

Some men were meant to be celibate
I've known a few.  Wondrous they
who hearkened to the calling.

Bloke goes for Broke

When I a lad sailed the Dragon's Eye
I made it a  point to not miss daybreak and sunset
I've had my share of  viewing the Green Flash in nautical twilight
I've known the exuberance of greeting a new day in open water

When I feel blue these days,
I shut my eyes and smell even where I'm present,
a thousand miles in Mid America, I still smell,
Australia musky coastline, a day's journey from docking.
Old Sailor, may your fading memories, bring you
deserved release,and for those reminisces you can not shake,
may they make you a kinder bloke.
"Should ole acquaintances be forgot..."

Post Privacy Generation

Everybody wants to be famous,
and that's why they tweet their business
to the world.  Post Privacy braggarts

Mapovia wants only privacy.  Secrecy equals privacy,
and that's why no one sees Mapovia without her assortment
of wigs, veils and other disguises like that of a fly on the wall,

To each their own, they say.
To each the mob, say I
Invisibility turns me on.

Fresh Ideas, Big Talkers

Tweet your words differently
and change your way of seeing

Enlarge your thinking
and soon you'll increase productivity

Why people go-to-for motivational speakers
We all seek validation, we all wanna believe in Can-Do

Slingshot vs. Giant

You lose your voice
you lose your person
you lose your person
you lose your soul

No matter the monster you're up against,
keep your voice in the tongue of the Fathers
Be still and know that I am God

Pax Americanus

I find your talk troubling.
Why frame the bulk of your ideas
in terrifying Doomsday scenarios?

On my wall hangs a clock made in China
It runs on battery. One day the battery will fail.
We'll get a replacement.

Obviously the clock will not always hang
on that particular wall.  Clock, wall and me
are bound for transformations.

Does this means Doomsday? Perhaps.
But why paint the inevitable so scary?
Why not rejoice and  call it Broomsday?

Constitutionally Speaking.

Existence equals presence
Presence plus motion presents challenges
Such the complexities of immigration,
Right to Life, Pro Choice, etc.

Where there is gravity
there is friction
Where there is movement
there are bound to be collisions

It is in the Constitution of Creation written.
The Preamble categorically states it
I am paraphrasing:
Let Us Have A Big Bang
