Growing wise with age

The butterfly lives a day

Chasing dreams away

Ode to Keratiné

O’ maine of grandure.
Why hast thou left thine home?
Bestower of beauty for all to gaze.
Thy pride of Sampson,
e’re the facilitator of his undoing.
For withe thou returnest with
thine vengence.
The curse thou hast now bestow’d
upon thy master. Thrice thou
hast beseechéd me. Lying in wait,
hidden deep in the darkist chasm.
Stow’d away in waiting till thou
springeth forth with the air of life.
Thy object of hideous affection.
Retreatest thou when confronted
by thine master.
O’coward of age and ill-respect.
O’manifestation of age, gathering
to sucumb the sounds of joy till
only a muffle trickle to thine master’s
ear. Once a loft in high respect, thou
hast recompensed and disperséd to
regions unable to grasp with
thine masters’ own hands. Curséd
you are until the day thine Master
lopeth you from your new found
place of refuge. Enjoy thine new
strongholds for twilight is near.

I was feeling trapped with working and school. I decided to celebrate my freedom by making a flower garden.

Staring into nothingness,

My heart pounds from loneliness.

Her image cloudy in my thoughts.

I struggle to focus, I just can’t see.

Her outline is clear, but my memories have faded.

Her presence vague in my mind,

everlasting but incomplete.

I sit, I wait, I hope.

My mind is a blur of thoughts.

This is a group project.

A Lesson in Diversity

Where else on earth can a person go to work as an American southern heterosexual white Christian male, and get into a truck with a black lesbian pagan female and head off to work. On your first call you go to a house to pick up a sick child of mixed race parents. The father is an Asian born Buddhist from China. The mother is a Caribbean born child of Hoodoo. When you arrive at the hospital you are greeted by a nurse who was born a female, but has recently became a transgenderred male Anarchist. The doctor that will eventually see the child is an Asian Indian Hindu male who will later be discovered to be a pedifile as he gets arrested for soliciting sex from a 15-year-old male on the internet. By the way, the physician is also discovered to be HIV positive.

Welcome to a typical day on the job of a paramedic in the city of Atlanta.
