[hometext] => This started out as a "prime the pump" exercise -- but there seems to be more to it then that.
Very much a work in process written 5 9 02 COMMENTS, PLEASE [bodytext] => When the Poetry don't come When images are vacant Skulls whitened by disuse and decay And words leaden kites. What is a poet to do but stagger Through the halls of his discontent Flirting with a lost love, a road,, an opportunity missed, a sell out.. Kicking and rumaging thru the debris Looking for signs of a golden age Searching the wreckage for a promise, sure and certain, of better days to come But, there are no better days that this -- No halcyon times before or beyond, There are none more bitter than this day. There is this now and none other.
