] Date Posted: 13:36:34 11/29/07 Thu Cityscapes (The We) I am alone. I am bewildered. Adrift in an ocean of I's. Searching for the sea of We's. An isolated shuffle down city streets; bus fumes, car horns boom boxes, sirens. People, destinations predetermined, walking, crossing, downward staring eyes. Hell-bent on their march to compete. Later, the night stars, lost behind the mask of city lights, bereft, their existence, lose all meaning. A fixed-up junky pukes in the dirty darkened end of an alley. An unfixed hooker desperately searching for her prize; condoms not necessary tonight. A sleeping woman, disheveled, tosses and turns on her park bench. A desperate search for sleep. Meanwhile a black tie tuxedoed rich man slides by, sequestered in his blacker stretch limousine, shiny, clean. Smiling into his cell phone, Enjoying a straight ahead stare. Never ever bothering to look out his window, At the We. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:56:16 11/29/07 Thu I found this quite profound. It also brought me to this thought. When the "W" in "WE" becomes inverted, it becomes the "M" in "ME". Just a little something I've always said, and the memory came back. Your words are absolutely without fail the most honest I've read. You write it as it is. Glad to have read you.

Date Posted: 17:14:44 01/08/08 Tue the part about the stars losing their meaning? speaks to me about how very far away they are .. and yet there is a starry constellation inside every one of us.. Lily [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
