On that day
Across a pixilated sky
We know not how
We know not why
There was a wingless bird
Featherless–with no heart
But every molecule
Was a bicycle part
Made not in heaven
But for an event: CYCLE 2007
In the city of Long Beach
On that day
Me & my Kodak
Looked the other way
What we saw
Was all the talk
Of shadows cast
On the sidewalk

These pictures are lovely, these words are lovely
ReplyDeleteIf only the words spoken were lovely
A story, a poem a book, a film
Tells what is happening next
Unlike life
Life can be extraordinarily beautiful
Deleteeven when interspersed
with thorny moments.
Thorns, a weapon, to protect,
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Anything that provides protection is a form of weaponry.
