The Whole World + the Work = the Whole World
A Poem Inspired by the Above Title I Saw Written Across a Wall
The whole world stops
and stares
The pressure’s on
Eyes flutter back and forth
They stare into your soul
The whole world stops
and stares
Then, they move on.
Briefly, fleetingly, they
all belong to you
Or rather, you belong
to them
A singular moment where
you are one and the same.
Some will laugh,
Some will cry
Some will cover their faces
and hide.
Some will simply walk on by,
Others will stand there
until the end of time.
The whole world stops
and stares
The pressure’s on
Eyes flutter back and forth
They stare into your soul
The whole world stops
and stares
Then, they move on.

Invitation to Renga With Me
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am returned. I am envisaging a grand entrance here, a footman perhaps, announcing my arrival, or a both doors flung wide attention grab. That I actually slipped in quietly with an itsy bitsy haiku seems far more in keeping with my actual style. Either way, I am back after an absence of a couple of weeks in which I dedicated myself fully to a family holiday. I could do no different, it has been a very full trip, and a wonderful trip for it. But though I read most of a novel, I took no time to read on Vocal, and no time to write either.
