Masculinity (Part II)

hunt a deer
start a fire (from scratch)
build this bridge with bricks
repair broken buses
Dead Sea, swim
abseil the deepest, darkest range
hop-climb quickly, the mountain fades
eat the duck-billed platypus
feed the mother, of the snake
juggle babies
lift me, high

without harnesses
show me strength
Cheetah? but you run faster.

You hoist humanity in your palm.
I hope we make a way for you.
At your best, ask me,
I will walk with you in contented stance.

I may deny it presently,
But non may bring me more delight, than to
Hold your hand, mine underneath,
And kiss you, in close reach.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.

Whoever you are, thank you.

I am unfortunately a product of my generation. All I have revealed of myself is my heart, through my poetry and music, shared to friends I know in my physical life.

I wish you would reveal yourself.

But yes, thank you
