Impressions of the past, present and future
Swirling and clamoring, standing on the bow,
>
Tornados, Myanmar, death, wars, attacks, threats. McCain slays Able, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The Pittsburgh Penguins. Cancer, MS, rare diseases. Billy Mays announces a revolutionary, new cleaning product.
>
Jesus? Superman? UFO's? The truth, run through the mill, trimmed and planed for uniformity and texture. Someone quits, someone keeps going, the trajectory of unavoidable tragedy, skating to the finish line.
>
No Mastodons, no Gods to implore. The hunt, fertility, the weather, the battle. No warriors in the coliseum to teach us, how to die, why to live.
>
Cosmic background noise, the big bang, a billion ancient scholars debating the Buddhist truth, our dreams, thoughts and feelings, the illusion of being an individual, the journey back, the mortification of the flesh, the triumph of the spirit.

Life; ephemeral and gory, cheap magic trick vs unfathomable mystery, reveal yourself! Gene
