This is a VERY COOL THING recommended to me by crepuscular ... it's called "Dizzy City" and offers 360' views of various streetcorners in New York and Chicago and more places coming soon ... http://www.dizzycity.com/ ... try it, it's addictive!
Other stuff is happening that is making my head spin (and not in a good way) ... I'll probably write about it eventually, but I need to let some of it get sorted out first. Crap that I thought I was "done with" showing up again and casting all sorts of doubt ... I just hate that.
Anyway ... another poem ... was feeling bad about not writing so now I'm nagging myself to pay more attention to it. Hopefully I'll get 10-15 done a month this year. Just what I need ... more nagging.
SHAKEN AT THE CORE OF STORMS
amazing conflicts
incalculable doubt
these systems betray us
spin out of control
disparate forces
form dire shearing tides
tearing the center
decaying the whole
what expectations
unfold within this?
what unscheduled plan
comes now into play
directing the hours
into strange arrays
and promising chaos
to established form
wild battles rage
beneath this haze
storms the surface
never shows
uncharted currents
scramble the course
realigned stars
make reckoning null
and from the darkness
from dim echoed pasts
new structures arise
which go against all
we can not process
can not determine
how these futures lie
on any one path
muddled by turmoil
stunned by confusion
we grasp at things
which seem most real
and try to read signs
both within and without
that might offer guidance
and ways to stay sane
