The City of Simile was a modernized hub of prior excellence. Five years ago, it was a desert city born of the idea of two wealthy sheiks who believed it was time to lead the technological revolution in the untapped potential of the arid states. They concurred that they could create a city not so … Continue reading Parallels
Vigor
It was a searing heat that rendered this afternoon. I looked up into the skies and found no coolness in their summery azure. I then walked up the mangled sidewalk towards navy blue tents. All around us locomotives were coming and going fast enough, buzzing away as a sorrowful ballad played on the radio. It … Continue reading Vigor
Pathfinder
The wind whistled through the branches of the park: clear, like thriving tranquility in the Earth's cerebrum. Grassy knolls scattered and sparse compared to the rigid pathways plodding on. I walked atop these somber roads in silence. I knew them like the back of my hand and by the riff of my bike 13 years … Continue reading Pathfinder
Illuminate.
It was a quiet night that plunged us into the depths of this dismal Holocene: a new era for medicine haunted by the inadequacies of an old ill-prepared system. I have traversed these musings before on days of little consequence, but I recently I'd found them peppered with doubts of how anyone could conjure up … Continue reading Illuminate.
Silvercodes
I fear in almost a dream-like state... and now the world dreams with me. It was as if the world had blinked and found itself hurtling into a blinding state of bedlam. I knew the signs and it needed help... so I hunkered down into a place of sentient sanity, a would-be haven of illustriously … Continue reading Silvercodes
Lightweight
They set a course for us in what was once torrid streets. The heat remained in the rush. Time was merely a trance of light and haste. It was freeing in a way, trading stifling stationary work for moving perils, not knowing what we'd meet out there. We were a force moving through narrow paths. … Continue reading Lightweight
Surrender
It came at me like an unbearable wave, forcing me to let go of things. No more plans. No more hopes. No more wishing. After all, what was the point? Why was I constantly trying to find a better way of doing things. The answer, I think, lies in a different realm: another time. Just … Continue reading Surrender
The Pulseless Magnetic
Light Rail and Metro Rail: Whirling beasts in transit and they bind our cities together. Enmeshed by motion. I call it an enigma... and when it halts, a nuisance, for we are sardines in a can of searing heat: sunlight and anger. It gives me not the view I crave nor the comfort I seek. … Continue reading The Pulseless Magnetic
The Center of the Universe
I love old photos. I love looking at all my loved ones as they were: younger, a bit unsure, hopeful... All the things I am. I look at them and I see a form of certainty. Here there were thousands of ways their lives could have played out. But it came to be that I … Continue reading The Center of the Universe
A Wish for Some Air
Do you ever feel trapped? Trapped in today and that you'll never have that better tomorrow. It will never start because whatever this is, it will never end. Because I feel it. Now. And later on, I know. I am dipped in it so deeply I am it. And whatever I was before is another … Continue reading A Wish for Some Air
