I saw God today
I saw God today
the sun shooting rays down between the clouds
I saw God today
in the tears of a friend who was hurting
I saw God today
in the smile of others and the pride in their eyes

in every raindrop and in every lightening strike
I s...

Questions
Last week as I sat in a hotel room putting a drug in a cup and pouring water upon it I asked myself who have I become?

Your head is now
not filled with buzzing static,
and instead
the distant sound of
electric storm clouds.
Enraged fire
replaces the
sleeping snow.
You are finally se...

Points
Singular point of hope
balancing in one dimension
drive the stake deep, swing without reservations

temptations of rest

point added placed correctly
a broad base of stability?

The Beautiful Machine
Space for thought balance beauty of the void

producing new order terrifying lonelyness meaningless computations
chaos repeating old broken patters My bones are ground to dust by the enormous gravity halving each space ad infinitum the yoke digging deep in the flesh
the aurochs spurred on by the cyclical hope of freedom
what new quar...
