Memory File
January 2, 2026
They way we store locations in our history
Fragments of colors, shapes, smells, emotions
The events that took place are transformed
Into a montage that changes during storage
Prickly Persona
December 27, 2025
Consumed by overwhelming effects
Visions are blurred beyond the obvious
Status is stable in an imaginary universe
Spontaneous reactions stay imbedded
In extraordinary windows of memory
Sky Hoop
December 22, 2025
The sky hoop was erected at the university
To funnel wisdom from the atmosphere
Directing it toward the student body
The psychedelic effects have been described
As speedy little zaps of higher education
Intended Consequences

Without consideration of perspective
We will not be able to persuade anyone
To see the results from our point of view
We are blind to their vision, as they are to ours
Suspended
December 19, 2025
Time capsules hang in suspense, dangerous
The weight of the revelations slowly increased
Until the fruits of the karmic past dropped
Leaving remnants of shocking facts
Hanging in the dark air without explanations
Tales of Trails
December 12, 2025
Landscape stories contain more than geology
Surfaces worn out under many footprints
Colors change, faded from baking in the sun
Resilience shows up as rock formations
As you climb over the edge of the trail
Your meaning blends with the earth at sunset
Worn

The costume is donned to inspire a mystery
Image enhances as well as creates mythology
Where did you go when you heard the words
“High ho Silver!”’ ?
Kee-mo sah-bee, it’s time to return to the game
Gradual
December 5, 2025
Shifting into this darkest season of the year
Reminds us of all the darkness in our past
That slowly became shining enlightenment
Burying past betrayal and loss under water
Merchandise
December 3, 2025
What kind of items do you want to leave
As a reminder of your experience with life?
Are the symbols of power or trappings of wealth
Important in the long version of this story?
Which remaining objects hold meaning?
Outer Layer
December 2, 2025
Encased in disquieting layers of disguise
Covering the inner workings
Allowing no hint of the entire situation
Deeper inquires reveal empty excuses
Sheltered in a case of hardened ideas
