In Passing…
A sample:
“The light we see now left the sun 8 minutes ago. So if the sun goes out, we’ve got 8 minutes of light left. Before it gets friggin’ cold.”
“If the sun goes out, like, seriously blows up, I actually think gravity is the more immediate concern. I don’t really know, without the sun, gravity might go screwy.”
“Man, I hadn’t even thought about that. I feel like I should hold onto something. I’m going to have to, like, sleep holding on now.”

Wrinkle in Time
31 Aug 2005
It just takes a moment,
a split second without restraint
and all the walls
seem made of glass.
Even in the dark
the images whirl blindingly.
No sense of order,
a timeless recall.
Endings draw out beginnings
which bring back the pain
of the final futility.
Flashes of words in silence,
songs blend into scorn,
loathing into laughter.
An unimagined future
now distant past
disturbing the present.
Timely dimensions melding
till a second lasts an eternity
and a lifetime erased in a flash.

Katrina afterthoughts
30 Aug 2005
Watching all the reports on Hurricane Katrina over the last couple days, I have seen and heard a few things that bugged me:
- Constant mention of the conditions going downhill is silly. It’s a hurricane, people! The conditions have to get worse.
