Summer times

Some days smell like

Freedom.

I was with a bad (hu)man for

Far too long.

Often heated,

Bad habits, scarring and some

Evil-

Bloody mess...

Honest, my guts

torn asunder 

then more

Limbo, a sense of 

Death...

Dante,

One could say-

Then

In some particular way

the sun felt extra good today,

Felt my skin thirsting and gulping

every atom, warm and

Yum...

Like a perfectly ripe peach 

cannot be devoured without a

Smile.

Pure and True.

Each peach- the same and

Anew-

Even though, simplified

Into

As above, so it is

Below. 

To grow or die

this time around

the Sun.

(Re: Blade Runner 2049)

Just suppose:

On an October Monday before noon, 

you sit with your adult child

in a crowded theater to watch a matinee

set in the year 2049.

The others in the dark theater are all Senior

Citizens-

You would think it was 'Discount Day'.

And it may have been.

Then you wonder-

Who will be alive

at the end

of the story? In 2049,

which of us will be there

to hear and see the tiny Finale

and give full credit to the vision

passed on, past, with future tension and

Imaginations fused with Technologies, 

struggling for dominance

each, chasing memories.

Behind those pictures,  

someone remembers them 

as their own. 

What will they take away?

The silence is black.

 It was a dark and stormy night.

There was

Nothing real

about it. 

And then, your adult child asks about his Future

Discounts. 

The Time will come,

you promise.
