Sunset Sue

<em> The author describes this poem as a dialogue between two opposing life directions. To believe the world is inside you and dedicate yourself to the development of the self as the Gita teaches. Or to follow the uncertain dream of a humanity united and push for togetherness.</em>

&nbsp;

The world I know, is not the world I know
Nocturnal lucidness betrays a sleepwalking mind
The dream that was, still is, in foreverness
What the ego seeks, stays tangled in realms of normalness
Sleep deprivation only further confuses things

What will become of a man who flies solo?
I heard something of a super soul
But what will become of the people I love, but know not that I exist?
Maybe not so super after all

If man takes his law from earth
Then why does this earth have me shackled?
Or am I simply bound by my own weakness, a broken man
But

A little bird told me
That you cant run away from love
And that love is to be shared

And so, an interconnected cobweb of energy
Powerful enough to trampoline those who dare
Up to the sky, sun, clouds
And for those that don't make it all the way up
Let the flexible web of life, cushion the fall
But as with the little bird
Let us aim for the sky

Problems Encountered by the Armchair Sports Fanatic

by Scott Derry The armchair sports fanatic has historically anticipated his young daughter’s birthdays with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Regardless of their size, the parties held in her honour have included all of the customary fun associated with such events: a cake with the appropriate number of candles burning during its presentation in a darkened room, guests singing happy birthday to the too-excited-because-she’s-the-centre-of-attention birthday girl (which nobody begrudges at her tender age), an assortment of gifts of varying sizes, fun games like pass the parcel and musical statues, and all the laughter and noise of such an occasion. When an important sporting fixture has coincided with his daughter’s birthday (or the day of her party, which, for reasons of convenience, have all previous years been held on a Saturday and which thus have rendered clashes with important sporting fixtures unavoidable), it hasn’t been inconvenient for the armchair sports fanatic to watch su

Flight Plan

by Richard To Maximo French's daughter remained nameless until she learned to speak. When she was born, his girlfriend named her Eleos, the goddess who personified clemency and compassion. She looked at her child so lovingly that he hoped she'd change her mind about leaving. She said this tiny being in her arms was the most amazing, beautiful thing she'd ever witnessed. A week later he watched her leave on a plane to Japan. They agreed not to stay in contact. She never existed. She was a figment of his imagination. Their last night was spent in a mortuary basement where they burned photos, gifts and anything that reminded them of themselves. She unfriended and unfollowed him, changed her status to single and marked his emails as spam. She even paid a service to erase all traces of him from her digital life. Because Maximo believed his daughter required regular sunlight, he took her for daily walks in parks and trails where strangers would compliment his daughter'
