oh how the movies roll looking at you

at you rolling through the night-darks' early morning mist

through the easy-flow of stillness searching for yourself

your self

edging toward the earth-march of many men walking

staring at "nothing" that sits in their hearts

on the crest of a wing of dreams searching

searching for some one who'll ease the dis-ease of feeling alone

alone

searching and walking

alone

 alone 

wanting beyond Alone

where some peace might settle in and sit down

sit down for a chit or chat or both as a snack

while the madness of life walks past smiling

and you smile for a moment in a roar of joy

wandering about your heart

*...none of us is in control of our destiny.  We can only choose how to play the role we are given.

-Roberto Saviano

*I want people to be confused.  I remember as a young reader I was always patient with books in a way that I don't think our readers are any more.  I am looking for the reader who is patient with books, who is willing to find insight through puzzlement.  I don't want to save the reader from that extraordinary freedom to be puzzled.

-Richard Rodriguez

*We re moving far away from our Puritan ancestors in some way in our spirit of play, and yet in our determination for the individual to become what she will, we are very Puritan.  It seems to me that that freedom to be ourselves is very Puritan indeed.

-Richard Rodriguez
