| I see some trees
trying to be trees
in a, for once, cool breeze.

they must be happy
they must be fighting

that this brings some sort of deeper
understanding
maybe to some extent
but I say

Some Socrates |
|
| So it was finally
lunch time.
I sat down by myself
and ate my burrito.
All damn day long on those trenches,
digging

digging with that trying pick
and trench shovel.
So I was now resting.

Passing away |
|
| The night fell out
of nowhere
just dropped
as the day fell away
somewhere else.
I'm sitting
outside, smoking
in winter's
guts.
Then there's
the train
in the distance.
It comes ... Posted by Arturo Royal (Self Titled) on Sun, 19 Nov 2006 12:57:00 PST |

Sex wars? |
|
| They walk so
sure of themselves, and that's
alright
they probably should be.
They've earned a place for themselves
among the
superior, powerful, rich, knowledgeable
and ultimately outmoded
men.

Flightless birds |
|
| I put the outfit on
and went out for my daily jog.
The sidewalk moved
underneath my feet.
Something was rolling on it
and toward me.
I quickly began to lie to myself.
I told myself it looked like

| so many barren winter trees.
they frighten me
with their lonely branches
full of ghosts -but
not the kind that
