The Island

She sees the island as being held within the bosom of fools. "It is too warm, too wet," she thinks. 

The island's long-term hardship is masked by its beauty. The dark, inner palaces, the places a motherhood realm never wants to be--its  deathless grave of procreation. 

It possesses the passion of a virgin cobra, one with all the impulsive action required for the feeding of insects under canopy, a canopy with deep story. 

It was supposed to be a research site, crawling with dimensions of analytical data, controlled by the scientific method. 

Travel and destiny combined their forces into something other than fate that holds the island in a space-time void. 

There should be a sign that reads: "Go home, you'll live longer."

Cool Surfing Waikiki

The Cool

     “That's cool,” Carter says, and exploits Suzi's newfound ability to communicate freely. The algorithm is cool, Carter says, as if her natural abilities were some form of amusement. It is, in truth, pragmatic and idealistic with its computer-generated, clear distinction between pure logic and false self. Suzi knows this much: There are infinite arrays of source code. You can choose between human and machine. You are able to write code according to your own individualization or, if you choose, have your movements reconstructed, file for medical benefits qualifying you for motor enhancement algorithm therapy(M.E.A.T.), add a little gossip (old war stories?), and insult the likes of a quantum programming biobot.  Carter is the searcher who has looked for mathematical relationships between groups of his neurons and his electrical responses. He has assigned one of Suzi's algorithms as cool, when he has known (for quite some time now, at least since the war) his algorithms control only motor commands from neural ensembles (yes, you could say there are technical limitations connected with his type of equipment). He is, in Suzi's eyes, anything but cool.

A Lifeboat Stands Empty


Broad ocean views horizons abound
Performance goals meet their match
Rig operator ever so smooth to be found
Oil giants loom to cap their latest catch 


We keep looking for the right place to go
As they try to shut down the wells they drill
Fires and failures allow the blackness to flow
And drift away to a wildlife top kill


Focus arrives late to the scene
On what should or shouldn't have been done
The rig and the wellhead was the crew so green
Hot hands shear arms for a gun


Collapsed and sinking tech-regulo blamed
Company men outside sing praises
Drift away lost power garnered and gamed
Legitimate and appropriate a white flag raises


Decline to comment as you will
In bobble head fashion over wellheads
Rig swept away at depths to drill
Powdered power drains in swelled heads


Knock into a hole dazed and confused
Under the light of the flames run wild
Now sworn testimony politely refused
As ocean currents carry your brainchild


A lifeboat stands empty as unplanted seed
In far distance the pure water we crave
Undisclosed medical condition pure greed
Leaves us alone for ourselves to save
