... if in doubt, execute ...















... there's irony in a handshake and potential for lies,
but no mistaking truth revealed in pained eyes ...

... who ultimately believes a smile can really conceal
innermost knowledge of the conflicts we feel? ...

















... and, until we know without a shadow of doubt,
what gives anyone the right to turn life-light out? ...

... judgement of man, fallible, inconclusive, unfair,
... tell me again, why we keep Manson in there?

... rise and shine, onward and upward ...


... a New York state-of-mind, ten years on ...






... steel concrete crumbles ... brittle from impact and fall,
that billowing knock-downtown ... a 911 call
punched a hole in the sky for prayer to slip through ...
where we were ain't where we goin' ... give us our due,
live up to build up, in triumph, over destruction and pall ...
