How harsh their games
they play with idenity
trust and stress
like some play chess.
And how easily I'm caught
and begin to examine
my moves and defenses
and guard my thoughts.

The Big Apple
I am evolution come to consciousness
with just enough awareness to see my purpose, sometimes,
though all that I am and how I came to be
is still far beyond me.
We've only so recently seen evolution's pattern
emerge from the darkness of our ignorance
that the very breadth and span of it
causes us yet to doubt it.
To doubt that evolution has truly
been given over to the evolved.
But, the very consequences of our ignorance
now bears down on us, and in direct proportion,
to that knowledge, for which we're responsable,
simply by knowing it.

Saw myself today
in the reflections of others
and as I would have them do
I did not
but this time I caught it.
Dave Whitcomb would be my friend
save for the gap
I've never braved....
To stand equal and accepting
with him, of him, for him,
and so it is with others
and myself.
