we are the maddening,
fascinating,
bright spheres of light,
we are notions cast out from history,
a digital age,
in tune,
turned on,
verbose with our narrative explanation for being
drawing pictures
casting beats from wires
documenting our thoughts from our minds
in ways that are mystifying
expanding with out possible doubt
that every thing is possible
we can stand on mars and blow bubbles,
if not in reality in our imaginations
we hold the key for those willing to explore,
to expand horizons
on this great earth of ours
as the man with the shopping trolley in hand said
you only got one life
better make the most of it.

open your eyes wide/ you better make the most of it.

Calligraphic artist: Nonin Chowaney (passed away July 29, 2022). Soto Zen priest and brush calligrapher. Permission was granted for me to use the symbol Dec. 11, 2012. At that time I believe he was abbot of the Nebraska Zen Center in Omaha.

Before the entrance to the pub stands a doorkeeper.  Inside the pub a small crowd has gathered:  Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman and Mark Eitzel, Morrissey, Robert Pollard, Paul Westerberg and the elusive Don Lennon, the smart men from Wire and the surly Philip Larkin, Paddy McAloon, the good folks of Underworld and Yo La Tengo, Grant McLennan and Robert Forster, Ian Curtis and Lisa Germano, Annika Norlin, Stew, Mark E. Smith, Babybird, Rilke, and still others.  To this doorkeeper comes Marshmallow Fortresses, who prays for admittance.  The doorkeeper thinks it over for a moment, then answers, “Not now.”  
	Many days and years pass.  The pub door is always open, and through it he hears one miraculous song after another.  Marshmallow Fortresses repeatedly asks to enter so that he may  commune with his heroes, but the doorkeeper always responds in the same indifferent manner: “Not now.”  
	In time Marshmallow Fortresses grows old and his hearing begins to fail.  He gestures to the doorkeeper, who curtly asks, “What is it this time?”  In a creaky whisper, Marshmallow Fortresses observes, “How does it happen that for all these many years no one but myself has begged for entry here?”  The doorkeeper bursts out laughing.  “Are you serious?  Every  aging Smiths fan has been crowding this door since forever.  But, as for you, I’m now going to shut it for good.”
