a quick look at the ride so far, but still a work in progress like the rest of us.

like a moth made drunk,
its course as fickle as the moon,
i fumble to caress
this starry cheek of sky
and negotiate my desire
in the space between us
to try and draw a map
to a deeper source of light.

for the moon has no promise
the yoke of dawn won't break,
and like icarus my heart
i know
this fragile frame cannot bare such weight.
soon these stars
will fall like snow
and the earth will re-ignite.

so fold my wings around you now.
lest the labour of our days
devour such moments as this.
devours all.
and the distance
where between our feathers fall
stretch like lines across your face.
where love once more is lost into the night.

u will not be able change channels for a safer future,
learn how lead a responsible life from late night info-mertials,
or raise your children without commercial interruptions.
you can't just adjust the tracking
and think your visions getting clearer
but you can turn the t.v. off and attune to a new frequency
because the resolution will be visualized.

the resolution will be visualized
not fabricated, not compromised
you will receive a static free transmission
see it clearly in your third eye
outside the lies
that try to hypnotize your soul
and capitalize on your peace of mind.
the resolution will be visualized

the resolution will be visualized
not victimized
not carried on a cross
not e-mailed at the resolution@hotmail.com
caught in some televangelists drag net
or captured with the click
of a PR officer's field shutter
on tonight's latest middle eastern clip.
it does not rhyme with daisy cutter
or other weapons of mass destruction
cause the resolution will be visualized

and it will not malfunction
it will not be heard synominously with terms
"like friendly fire"
it will not conspire with
bearded counter resolutionaries,
take meth-amphetamines,
pull maneuvers,
blow up shit up and not apologize
- it will not blow up
cause the resolution will be visualized.

the resolution does not adhere
to lies, here-say, propaganda or other greasy,
subversive platform surfaces,
corporate agendas.
the resolution will not be amended by fine print,
unmentioned policies, kangaroo courts
or is here-for-with subject to change
if a falsely elected president comes to power,
the resolution is not designed with frat boy's home team hype in mind
for programs whose target audiences are nations.
the resolution does not program lives
will not seek foreign intervention
to enforce retributive sanctions
killing your children, husbands and wives
cause the resolution is wise
and the resolution has patience.

but you will not be able to read it in the daily blues
you will have to seek to understand it.
speak out, stay awake
a hand and a sword rose from gustafson lake,
wise words whisper
on the tongues of non - profits.
consider the lives of other people.
i mean truly consider.
don't live with regret live by example
never forget, n'oublier pas quebec, seattle, vancouver.
the resolution does not taste better with pepper spray.
it will not make you sneeze or bleed.
it is visualized not tomorrow but today.
it is the colorless, favor-less soul food
you cannot buy at mickey d's,
but its always 100% satisfaction guaranteed -
just the perfect size.
and when it says that it fits all
all that it means is
there is no safety from circumstance
and no placebo for time.
not in afghanistan, not in iraq
not for those whose tongues have been tied
and whose arms are too tired to try and fight back.
so the resolution must be visualized, visualized, visualized.
until words like "hope" and "freedom" cease to be imperialized
and the command of our virtue is unpresidented.
