the symphony
within a single note... is it over then?
played from within a single note
i always have to explain the joke
because i am still the funniest guy i know
layered like the scramble
artificial inspiration and immediate gratification
still listening
still nothing
still, i proceed
silent through he coded shafts of sunlight and shadow
through the architecture
witnessing a moment of illusion
watching the deception
still silent
taking it all so seriously
extraverted mysticism
witchy extravagance
just to be seen
just, to be known
letting them
overall, seven knightly coins and so many wands to stir the pot
defenses up
passing legacy and wishes twisting trouble
classic bad guy
hazardous, problematic, and inferior
beware of yourself
clarity i possess
parts of the process
trading choices
prepared for unexpected spotlights
painting silver lines another color
seeing where the smoke and dust settle
blending in
waiting for judgment to pass itself
questions of betrayals once hidden
conflicted interests
communication and boundaries
balance of extremes
is it over then?

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
