Fall has a stillness to it; the birds have gone south, the summer bugs have died. There are no leaves for the wind to rustle through and the wind in the empty branches always sounds so lonely. You have to sit very still, to get past listening, before you can hear the still lingering breath of life, ghostlike, but always there.

I am writing this before the election, so I cannot know whether George W. Bush or John F. Kerry will be our President, God willing, for the next four years. These two Nordic, aristocratic multi-millionaires are virtually twins, and as unlike most of the rest of us as a couple of cross-eyed albinos. But this much I find...

Last year, I admired wines. This,
I'm wandering inside the red world.
Last year, I gazed at the fire.
This year I'm burnt kabob.
Thirst drove me down to the water
where I drank the moon's reflection.
Now I am a lion staring up totally
lost in love with the thing itself.
Don't ask questions about longing.
Look in my face.
Soul drunk, body ruined,...

They sat on a park bench in Managua, like bookends. Twenty-five and seventy-five, American and Nicaraguan, talking the afternoon away.
Mostly he talked. He was a former Contra who had fled when the war came to the U.S. and raised two children there. Then, when peace returned, he came back to Nicaragua and won a seat in congress. Now he's retired and sits on park...

Not to be a pessimist or anything, but the world as we know it is coming to an end.

The way that can be followed is not the true way.
The truth that can be told is not the eternal truth.
The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth
While naming is the origin of all things.
Therefore, always desireless, you see the mystery
Ever desiring, you see the manifestations.
These two are the same
Though when they appear they are named differently....

Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun
From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone
Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes
Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise
We were meant to see the beginning of the day
I believe it was planned to lift us this way
Take you an apple...
