One simple truth. Life demands everyone to be their own truth. When one isn’t following their path then life aligns us with the bitter truth. Fear always accompanies easier said the fun. But Life is a highway,and sometimes you have to write it all night long.
Am liking the video Robert. The poem’s great on the page (or should that be computer screen), am definitely liking the way the video brings it off the page. If I thought a bit harder I could probably come up with a more in depth comment than that. I’m going to go with the words steady, nicely paced, thoughtful, the opposite of in your face (what is the opposite of in you face?), black and white and colour (yes it does have a u in it!) all good.
And thank you, I am most certainly having a weekend.
Hey Robert. Just revisited this poem today and it moved me, perhaps even more than it did the first time. A priceless introduction and some real treasures throughout:
“They tell me that I can have thousands of naked women at my beck and call, slipping unnoticed through a tiny wire in my wall…”
“…for 59.95 plus shipping and handling I can quickly learn to master my emotions, my work, my wife, my life…assuring me that if I cannot pay now, I can pay later, in January or something…”

Yeah, I think this definitely adds… hope it does anyway.
And if you like it, then cool. Its for you Kamsin. All the way over there… of course, video doesn’t care about things like miles and water.
