In awe of creation<\/span>
\nI am<\/span>
\nNot alone<\/span>
\nThere is just us<\/span>
\nLike an ever flowing stream<\/span>
\nUntil the banks overflow<\/span>
\nInto unquenchable cache<\/span>
\nAnd from the breast<\/span>
\nOf life<\/span>
\nSucking<\/span>
\nI am left<\/span>
\nNothing more<\/span>
\nThan write<\/span><\/p>\n

This short poem, like many of my poems, has dueling parallel narratives.\u00a0 The first and foremost is the awesomeness of creation.\u00a0 The overflowing nature of this awesomeness is the abundance upon which life is rooted.\u00a0 Only when people start hoarding more than they need, banks overflow \/ Into unquenchable cache<\/em>, does scarcity rear its ugly head.\u00a0 This utter misreading of reality leads only to perpetual scarcity, within and without.\u00a0 Whether experiencing awesome abundance and\/or witnessing restless greed, I am often left with only the righting instrument of a poet.\u00a0 Write on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
