Everyone's been talking about how
the universe will either expand
indefinite cold star death
or collapse and then repeat itself
...
blessed are the fools
who call themselves fools
for others will call them wise

as i sit on the edge
of the curb
staring into Black Abyss Inevitable
with my mind's eye
...
words
encompass experience
fragmented impulses flash
chemical endeavors establish
...
i have been
having
such perfectly composed nightmares
cascading like rain
...
let it always be remembered
that I used to be
one of the old street-preachers
of Athens
