Were standing on a plane of glass...Somewhere in the distance someone is jumping...Every landing sends a shiver through the fibers of woven sand...

Sends a shiver through us...

As the time lapse creates frantic shadows upon the face of our transparent plane, we reach upwards, always upwards..Attempting to touch the sparkling eyes of the galaxy.

That galaxy which stares complacently down on us, not judging, but appraising how small we are. Not mocking, but standing as collateral for that which we cannot hope to understand.


                     -----------


Constricted, as if tiny spiderwebs were kissing every inch of our flesh.

We make it easy for disease to riddle us with numbers...Life expectancy..Predetermined execution days..Liberal killings of the innocent and the wrongly accused..

Our scapegoats..Everyone is applicable..

Who now...Defines justice..If everyone's opinions are self centered, and guided by greed..

-Sunflower
Who has looked death in the face...

Who knows what that feels like?
