Sunday, December 27th, 1987
         If you get a good thought, write it down.
         Meditate on it.
         Our thoughts occur like flashes in dust,
            for a moment we understand and possess
            an awareness...then, unless we can hold it
            we only remember that we knew....
         Our thoughts and understandings are like
         writing in the sand; transient and easily lost.
         Gaining possession of our realizations
         is meditation.

1987-06-25 – Socialism

Monday, April 17th, 2023

Ah, Socialism, you die so badly.
All shine and glory to begin
and all gray and lifeless later.
Theory come onto the rocks;
a rough stab of an idea gone wrong.

1987-06-25 #2 – Faces

Monday, April 17th, 2023

The faces of these Soviet children
and the idea of war;
such an impossible combination
the very though brings the tears.
