Quantum Leap
I loved to watch Quantum Leap.
It could be funny and it could be deep.
It was about a man who would time travel.
And each time a new story would unravel.
He would put right what had once been wrong,
And though very clever he could be strong.
Each episode had a morale given.
To do good deeds he was driven.
Each time he'd wish to get back home,
But he was not entirely on his own.
He w...

BLOODOATH
We made a blood oath...
and yet the promise of it dissipated with the conversation I often expected.
As much as I’d love to over-describe, as some might expect me to, the weight of how I feel while concocting the narratives of Univerza, my writings mislead me.
I might say the campfire stories I told, which wrote themselves, are but a light in a pitch forest as I meander away ...

Expectable tracing
a light spreads a fire
a dark at night
red clouds natural science’s task of decipherment
diagrams expend texts reported by the coast
a snap, a rasp, a chatter on the seabed
Onagas castanet in Ginkgo
precursors foreshock zoology
cumbrous seismisms mackerel skies
the scenery blurs
long hairs in the north in Gamelion
Hinoko rainbow between mountains
black, yellow ...

The People From The Center of the Earth
"Yeah right mate!" said Blake Alexander Lord of the Dead skeptically to his simple-minded friend the Masked Chicken who had lectured him of why the Earth was hollow and the proof that star people who live there were real.
"Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken.
Blake smiled humoring his friend.
"I believe in aliens!" said Blake.

Star Wars
For those who love their science fiction,
Star Wars holds the most conviction.
Set long ago and far away,
We love to watch them to this day.
We watch and see the Jedi Knights
Take on the dark side in light saber fights.
All are determined upon their course,
As some possess a power called The Force!
Luke Skywalker leads as young crusader
Against evil Emperor and Darth Vader.
His siste...

Tycho (Deviationist Astronaut And The Zany Karmic Architect)
I'm rushing below the firmament in a submarine
Pulled up by balloons
Rocket thrusters won't work in a vacuum
The torrid plasma liquid washes over the viewing screen
And the Hubble telescope cannot anywhere be seen
This periscope doesn't recognise the space handed to us it seems..
Am I floating beneath the epidermis of a prison planet scheme
I fear this is way beyond my theosophical steam

Sci-Fi So Good
Sci-Fi So Good
I look up to the spickly skies and wonder whether creatures
are idly looking down on me with glubulitious features.
For if the truth is out there (and I have no cause to doubt),
is it green or mangerine and does it blodge about?
Does it wear snickly nylon suits that sprackle when it walks
and will it chuggle like a baby every time it talks?
