B is for Stupid Species

[just a thought i had on Saturday. and then i saw the riots and thought... hmmm... humans]

The planet was passed over in search of something …. Less fertile but also less futile.
The feedback from their collective "intelligence" was stinging.
Turn it down. turn it down!
Too much! Too much squawking! Too much…. Nothing.

Too much fear wears them out
Too much closeted mental space in the place
Too much blind cliff jumpers and hurried grave divers
Too much fear to follow
To much prejudice to swallow
And pride?
Talking about pride
They had none.
If they did – the explorers thought – they would have seen us a long time ago.
They would have seen themselves a long time ago
They would’ve….but they didn’t
And so the planet was passed over.
Because the natives were all too busy trying to act... [kosher]
But really
Truly
What they were doing
Was wearing silk blindfolds and cotton earplugs
While all along intelligence screamed
Tied to a concrete barrier

B in Future Traditions

THE COPY: I was sitting down listening to Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me” and I began to think about future traditions. I thought… I want to sway with someone. Sway with my lover. To this music. More than that, I want that when we had an argument (and we’d have those because she’d be stubborn and I’d be pig headed (iChuckle)) we would never go to bed angry. We’d pop open a lover’s CD like this one and just sway. We may be as mad as hell but we would sway because we would never want to go to bed angry. And our children would know this. And they would never allow their partners to go to bed angry either because… well, because they would know better. They would sway. They would know it was better to sway. That’s the kind of man I want to be. Moreover, that’s the kind of tradition I’d like to pass on. Future Traditions. What's Yours?

B is for The Hand of Gordon (Act 5)

5. The driver egged him on. This was the third bad drive that Gordon received at the hand of the demon with the driver’s permit. But… neither the speed limit nor his attitude changed. The demon's finger went up again. Gordon smiled, again. He shook his head. The civility of his action denied a certain truth. Though Gordon considered himself long suffering, his hand held fast to a young blade should the speedster lose control of his car… and his mind. Yes, Gordon just smiled.
