Life here, life now,

the day pans out as before and,

a common denominator in our being.
Before all the labels were created

we had choice of being – besides

……...as I solemn paled upon the brow,
my heart wanting to leap
beyond the cage and free,
my gaze became a cinematic camera,
and all forgotten was pain and breath
and lack of spittle.
I cared not – my clothes sticky -
clinging like a spiders web and catch,
my eyes askance as if upon a host
of the evangelical – but,
not a soul here but me as all reli...
