For You
Just in Case You Were Thinking About Giving Up
This is dedicated to everyone I know
every thing.
This is for the one who works on holidays for anyone other than their family
this is for the trees, branching out and strengthening their roots. May we be more like them.
This is for the weak
the strong
the one who decides
the one who doesn't.
This is for the one treading
the one drowning
let them learn how to swim, lest they learn to hate the water.
This is for the monks
the mayors
the messiahs
the ones running the show
the ones watching it.
This is for the sadist
the heretic
the convict
the cog
for we all have at least one thing in common with them.
This is for that unnamed light at the end of that unnamed tunnel
too bright for some
too dim for others
for as long as the light is seen, we have nothing to fear.
This is for that light
so that it
never
is
unseen

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
