dr_con Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Magician He thinks of himself as a master Magician becoming for his students their soundtrack When somebody dies, he imitates a creaky door, or giggles inappropriately while others mourn. Once he was a jungle Shaman waging war knowing how to hum like a mosquito, by- passing personalities, reminding cell, bone and blood of ever-present death. A socio- pathology inverting Shadow and Substance, gobbling his own emptiness to cover regret Although he appears jolly Christmas camouflage and clever knowing the cynical rot hollow to the core reveals an old story of a Great Master Who took on two students- One of you will be good and one of you bad. He trains them both equally and one day, he asks them- Run across this plain and jump off that cliff. So they run and run and run and run and run and While we tread air, lets ask the Master- Which is the Magician? -The one who turned back.

tonyv Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 An objective look at faith and fate, Dr. Con. It's like staring out at an ocean: is there land immediately beyond the horizon? Probably not.

JoelJosol Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The folly of credulity, I say, DrC.
