Today I exercised the powers granted to my by this
government… and cast my vote. With the little faith that I have in the powers
that could be, I don’t know if this one little action means squat in the great
grand scheme of things… but there I was… I did my part… Tweedle Dee or Tweedle
Dum… Ha! Let’s hope for better ones next time.

On a side note… I took out the tongue bar… for some reason I
felt today is the day I graduated from such things… sigh… it will be missed.

Now… with out further ado… my latest work.

Something Amidst

 

There is a strange taste to the air…

Brought fourth by the chaining of the winds of some new

Manifestation rooted downwind.

 

Who can know what this strange omen may bring?

 

Be it live or dead the mother of such odor

I must brace for whatever fancies or horrors which may now lie
across this path.

 

But I wonder,

If it were the layer of some gruesome beast

Devouring a man in his latest feast… 

Should I…?

Could I…?

Would I find the constitution within myself to vanquish such
a demon?

 

Or rather…

What if it was from a bush?

One of red roses which my lover does favor!

Should I…?

Could I…?

Would I risk being ripped and shredded just so’s I can pluck
a bud for love?

 

This… strange… strange taste to the air…

Of some unknown spirit downwind.

 

Who can know what this omen may bring?
