some people want to change the world

we just want to change the people who want to change the world.

OR....

some people want to change the world
i just change to some people's world

huh. far-out.

Some
people want to write a blog.
I just want to have more than I can keep track of.

John Keats died young, i think he was 25 years old
caught tuberculosis from one of his many siblings
i think it was his brother
his brothers and sisters were all struck ill
he an esteemed poet in the Romantic period
as famous and as much of a rock star as
William Blake, Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Shelley

He fell madly in love - tragically - with Fanny Browne
before hospitalized for consumption
catching it while caring for his dying brother, Tom

I was young, but I fell in love with his words and his legacy.

Soon I will write an epic poem based on his essence...

Soon. I will take a break from epic poetry and write an Ode
or a letter to a friend
who keeps it and sells it to
publishers without my
expired permission

like JKs letters
if you read them
wink at me so I know who you are.

Bright Star

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

Mas o Menos by w. clark I had made an important decision that drizzly December lunch our, a choice that might have been a major turning point, or one that made me realize I couldn’t trust myself, control molecular mutations that were implanted in my DNA, but were fertilized by the irony of life and made me older, smarter, and a riddle unto my own psyche. I left the office promptly at 11:45 am and it took the usual 3 minutes to get from my desk to the elevator to the front door and down the dozen stairs to the front green and I swiftly broke right up Maroon Hill two blocks west, slushing hurriedly up to the garden gates, and then made haste past the goat petting zoo. Temporary images whirled past me as I lost more seconds of my hour and tore down to the Landing, the hillside slanted toward sea level and my spine started to burn as my speed increased, the spring humidity filling my lungs with heavy water and my terror elevated to a state of shocking horror for that which broke so many

Just like today.
