dr_con Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Mind like Media The Law of Distraction and the Cult of Attraction digital ghosts have supplanted the long skinny necks of the Hungry Ones birthed in childish dreams of immortality Just Passing Through goes the refrain from Apocalypse Monks and Psychedelic Extraterrestrials Laughing and singing in tenthousand year cycles that take less than a moment when you're pass- ing through the gates of Being and Becoming History being a record of death seems appropriate for a culture hooked on rise and fall and even that is forgotten in the precious breath of the moment returning to this virtual space Denying with our semiotic graffiti that this life is as thin and as empty as the photon delineating a letter from the background in the foreground a ghost swallows this thought and all others Feel as it just passes through.

Aleksandra Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 For me this is the best part that attracted me: History being a record of deathseems appropriate for a culture hooked on rise and fall and even that is forgotten in the precious breath of the moment returning to this virtual space Dr.Con, your poems always have what to offer on some very interesting poetical way. This poem has a good and strong end also. Much enjoyed.

tonyv Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 This is really good, Juris. The "tenthousand year cycles" captured me and evoked a sense of awe like the one one gets when he compares man and his earth with the vastness of the universe. The last verse is sublime: ... in the foregrounda ghost swallows this thought and all others Feel as it just passes through. I love it.
