Digital Gravel
I am not a hacker. I am not a programmer. The world is slipping away. With no smart phone I watch in dismay. As I become outdated. My human operating system frustrated. By all the new technology That I must adapt to each day. I build web sites to view on laptops. Not for display ...
Feeding China
Freedom is exaggerated and abused As many cling to their Bibles and Guns China’s economy continues its cruise Selling the seas of cash funds. Beating Captain America. For the U.S. has nothing to teach China. No moral high ground to seek. No words of wisdom to preach. Because its middle class is shrinking. Because it ...

In the Shadow of the Tower
A ball of white light blasts outward. A man pulls his body upwards. All his energy exhausted. His singularity invested. There are people that don’t understand The investment that has been given.

Appliance
Poetry and science Are similar in their appliance. Poetry collects abstract thoughts. Old and new stories are taught. Subtracting from the lie. One less pill to prescribe. Science collects facts.
