Expression is essential to human existance.
Whether a person is good dancer, speaker, writer, painter and/or lover, the expression is unique to the individual and can reveal truths about the individual or about humanity. Our deeds and expressions are the only way we can free ourselves from our condition as mere dust because they are eternal. We need only listen, watch, feel and remember.

A MOMENT OF RECONCILLIATION (1991)

A damp cold finger reaches through the window
permeating my plump flesh .
A numbing chill runs from my ankles to ribs to jaw,
then tingles back down to my rigid socks.

I shudder.

Icy tongues lick even my viscera,
For another sleepless night

Hot anger implodes.

An internal silent scream
Burns as a bearly audible exhilation
Visible to the cold,
A puny admonition,
For the immense suffering caused by mankind
Or by nature,
For the immense suffering of one friend
Or of a people,
To the One Who creates it,
To the One who perpetuates it
To the One Who gives the human Spirit the Strength
To endure it all.

DOTCOM-WORLD

I never met anybody famous
I never met a movie star
I never knew a politician
Never thought I'd go too far.

But now the money is not so tight
I've worked hard and I'm the online Queen
I'm meeting 'em daily left and right
Its easy when you're never seen.

I can buy my way to anonimity
And hobknob with only the blue
I can feel their inner desires
And nobody touches you
yeah nobody touches you.

Its a TV hightech virtual reality
Your friends are as close as your screen
You can talk all night with your e-men
you can play any game that you've seen.

You can visit the sensual world dot com
You can hump the swivel chair
you can find out how to build The Bomb
And your mouse can stroke your hair.

You can surf all day on the superhighway
You can laugh and busy your mind
But when your all through
You can sleep in your chair
You still leave the world behind.

No hopes, no lovers, no feelings, no expectations, no dissappointments
Only if they leave your chatroom

Now I meet all kinds of people and I drive a fast car, too
I can buy my way to anonimity
And ................... nobody touches you
yeah nobody touches you.
