the river once rushing flows more slowly yet deeper cleaner invites: the wading of friends peace stability and yet remains a river
I’m Sorry
I’m sorry
what were you saying? I was just noticing how that tree reminds me of something.
It Never Had Occurred to Me
It never had occured to me The way it has to be is never never only what it should be
Some this some that some other kid forgets his mother then take the wasted lives of one another
It never seemed I never saw true light shine out and on and all the things that come up/down before the fall
The growth the life before the rise But once I looked into those eyes Not knowing what could crawl out of the skies
Peaks first then ebbs it shrinks and grows Aroma smelled not with the nose A thorn has fallen from life’s withered rose
Once dust once ash a Phoenix came from out of pointed angry blame And nothing else has ever done the same
Over up and once thought dead A voice that rang in angels’ heads Now sings a song of loneliness instead
Not gone not here not anywhere A madnes permeates the air Strips all and one and thing completely bare
And spoken with a raspy breath While looking down upon the earth “All the meek inherit now is death.”
I Wrote You That Last Time
I wrote you that last time telling you I did not love you It was not time for us You were not ready I was not ready It was not right We were not perfect
So I moved on and you let me
Except that What I meant Instead of “not” was “now”
The Fog of War
The Fog of War is a completely fascinating documentary by Errol Morris about and around Robert S. McNamara. Recommended.
Blosxom Still an Option
Those of you Movable Type users who are pissed off at SixApart for charging for version 3.0 of MT and looking for alternative blogging tools, don’t forget about Blosxom. It really is a nice, efficient, easy script.
PHPetal 0.7
After receiving some helpful patches for PHPetal from Bryan McCloskey, I couldn’t help but integrate them. I also fixed a few other things while I was in there. Let’s call it version 0.7. Read about it here or just go ahead and download it

I Don’t Write Enough Poetry
I don’t write enough poetry on Sundays which leaves the rest of the week rather without anything of particular interest
What Day Is It?
Why do all weblogs have a calendar? You’ll notice mine no longer does. I decided to remove it when I realized that with as many weblogs as I read, I have never clicked on one of the calendars - ever. I finally clicked on mine just to see what it did. Could it be another example of a feature that seemed like a good idea at the time and now we’ve stopped asking why?
A New Design Is Probably Required
I’m having fun using WordPress to publish this weblog, but the design (which I stole and tweaked) just blows. There’s something too heavy about it. Looking at it makes me uncomfortable, and that can’t be good.
May just roll back to a simple even-more-boring-but-readable look until something better comes along. I may even have to ask for professional help this time.
