VANISH
I wave my hand over Big Pine.
The perished businese’s and buildings of Big Pine Key. My Home.
Island Jim’s the Baltimore oyster house, Mountain Mikes pizza parlor/Coconut farm nursery, Big Pine grill, the Big Pine Inn, Scottys, the apartment over the old Texaco, like the air passing through my fingers are gone. Not there, any longer, vanished.
Wa la: But, I have an old photo you may say.
I contend the photo could have been taken anywhere. Those businesses those buildings, they were never there, they never have been.
Just as before this last century that has passed.
Is it not plain to see, the universe is small? We egress into the future by traveling into the past, by tearing it down.
Then as before it never was. We are traveling in reverse.
All we ever know is the past and the now, This moment just passed is gone then as the future before it never was it is gone.
POLITICIANS:
Look into there faces plastered on roadside signs.
Where, Mountain Mikes was now a pile of black tar resides there.
leeching darkness into the sub soil down into the strata.
I assume this crime is sanctioned by the faction of man that counts.
Step backwards to embrace the future.
Finding secret places in the depth’s of soul.
Reaching out towards the center. Inward.
Life and death occur’s between breathing in and out.
Knowing the future is as accurate as yesterdays storm forecast.
Nice call boy’s, no storm at all, now brace yourself for the upcoming landing.

With a little or a big supply of help from the Navajo small weathermen in my dream that said this. “The universe is small”
Devolve back to the core, this is understanding.
