On That Day, Across A Pixilated Sky...

___________________________________________________________________________________

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

  1. These pictures are lovely, these words are lovely
    If only the words spoken were lovely
    A story, a poem a book, a film
    Tells what is happening next
    Unlike life

    1. Life can be extraordinarily beautiful
      even when interspersed
      with thorny moments.

  2. Thorns, a weapon, to protect,
    What?

    1. Anything that provides protection is a form of weaponry.
