Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • cloud songs

                 We exist, at times silently,

                   comfortable in our invisibility.

     

                     Unnoticeably so.

     

                 Unexplained. 

     

               We so know, or learn, when

                          it is time to speak up.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    What happens when you step away 

    from the everyday, for a while 

    (or longer)?

    A new locale, an unfamiliar bed, an 

    alternative view overhead 

    there is always another way instead;

    at least there will be this week.

    Even a wristwatch looks different today 

    for deadlines have no purpose or place 

    this week. 

    A well-deserved break, to say the least.

    What of today, tomorrow

    or next week?

       What about the weary,

    the impoverished, and the meek?

       What becomes the answer or

    the validation that you seek?

  • who would know

    Dissemination of information

    fast and furious. Daily, hourly,

    minute by minute, it accounts

    for our perception, rightly or

    wrongly. 

       Who would know the truth?

       Who should know the truth?

       Ask me.

       If I am not a liar, then I am 

    not a man.

       How will I know questions

    from the answers? 

       It is not multiple choice, but

    there are many versions of

    what you need to know.

       If only you would ask.
