These are rare.once in a million lifetimes.
one burns out overused.Retreaded.Discarded.
Reincarnated. Fulfilled.
                                                                                A new flame.
                                                                                Balance will remain.Order restored.
Harmony.
One step past finite.
Ignite a new fire.A new flame to burn and return none the wiser of the prior journey.

Task fulfilled. An evolved spirit.
Ascends never to return.

One book closes, another opens.
The journey anew.
What do you believe.?
Reincarnate ?

Which one was Achilles's heel.
Hector's hand spun the wheel.

The Face that launched a Thousand  ships.
Why not a bottle of the bubbly to the prow ?

Olympian intrigue.
Odyssey seafaring fatigue.

Tempest in a teapot
Time to ****.

Nothing good on T.V.?

Why big relaxing , they come from small things.
And why do we go incognito as we self flagellate.
with our fix. Or that is the think.

Brown bottle with a safety lid.sublimate that devious Id.

Brown mood killer to get perky.
side effected with herky jerky.

Browns and pastels to quell. Feng shwaaaay?

Big brown eyes are soothing.
Might be better than quay luuuding.
that's a bit dusty.

End of the line self smoothing.

Wino on the tilt. struggles with his back pocket.
cant get a good grip on that brown bottle rocket
trying mightily to take it to the head.

Just trying to brown out and faze out.
solutions are myriad.
But a one trick pony.

Count down to brown......5-4-3........

Do you catch yourself looking at you,the "man in the mirror" holding the wheel. As you hold the wheel doing 102,rushing to the next to do.

One o'clock high glimmer.
Almost entranced by the navigator looking back but not at you?
Frenzied sill shot. Looking for the **** shot in this mixed menagerie.?

Step right up.ladies and gents.
How much can you get for your 99 cents.
In this not so penny arcade.

Split the difference . A four dementional blink.
Over four you know it.
Exit or merge.

Quiet the urge to do neither.
The middle man went belly up
Can't get to the critical
With a hitch in your giddyup.

Take another peak. One o'clock high
Hang in or bail out.
No failure. With no try.

Green lite .jump and hit silk.
Spin the wheel.
Close the deal.
Geronimo.

St. Elmo looked down on us
He lit our path through the jagged night.
Erasmus held us in his roughened palm.

There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole.

There is a balm in Gilead,
to heal the sick soul.

Grasp the mast and glow ,and live
The mast of the fire.  The mast.
In darkest night.

Journey to Gilead by the warm blue
light.
For My Friend

I licked my finger and raised it to the air.

And set sail.
due North. Tacked a bit east. sea spray lashing
me down to the mast.

I saw Ahab in the distance aboard a white monstrosity.He seemed quite happy.
The years had been kind. A Fulfilled destiny.
I envy him so to surrender.

I tacked south.
some strange feat but a mighty ****** am I. The wind at my beck the stars at call.
sextant be dammed. I will rise where I fall. or sink.
Brinkmanship my stock in trade.

The wind remained  at my back for a score and one.
my shirt in tatters. Still tied to the mast.
Howling banshees beckon me shore.

Nevermore.

Sits between twin bluffs  burrowing into neon souls
long to be seen in a  future frame of corpses and flipping
through the lenses of the kaleidoscope 1916 or there abouts.

Mr Edison took full advantage of the moment transitioning for all time  the boundaries.Maybe Muybrige in1888.
The here and now. The real and surreal. the equation is now unbalanced.
Is seeing now believing? or is believing a reason to see.

The proof is in the putting.
Dead men long digested in soil and  ground  can still emit sound and point  a blame-full  finger
Linger if you dare in the baleful stare of the science.
quiet, silence, desist. No
even virtue  can not  still the burning light.

cellulose spirits on walkabout lookout from the past again and again
flickering things they be.  conjure you as well as you conjure them.

The end is sight at the bottom of the hill
steel rails to nowhere still squeal to silence,
The riders swing free and lite on Italian loafers and
skulk away. padded shoulders conceal weak wills and
weaker hearts still.

Silver screen visual refraction
once there for all to admire must now bow deeply.
Curtsy?
Vanish and still remain at the pointed end of   it.
