Portrait of an Afternoon
Raring to kill the day with a song hallowing heartbreak.
Woman
Brown skin gold in the light
Of an open window
...
Shadow teaching
Monochromatic lessons
On the wall.
...
Shadows hiding
Half her face from
Technology and therefore
From the world.
...
Shadows making
Love to light
Pressed up tight
Never letting go.
...
Enby
Eyes expansive
Restless and full of stars.
...
Guitar resting
On black pants dense
Enough to eat the world.
...
Guitar pressing
Under one breast
Sweet flesh covered
In blue banded cloth.
...
Guitar raring
To kill the day
With a song
Hallowing heartbreak.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
