Contemplating incongruities fitting in…

Forever a Monument
Contemplating destiny and achievement…
Forever a Monument
He walked on the moon
With one small step for a man
He began
What would soon
Prove to be man’s greatest leap
For decades beyond comprehension to come
For we haven’t gone anywhere else since that moment
But he was there then and forever a monument
To what can be done
When we leap
His effort a boon
To the legacy of man
For with his small step he began
A course that leads to beyond this planet’s doom

In honor of Neil Armstrong…

Kept Away
Contemplating hysteria and conventional wisdom…
Kept Away
Traffic jams unseen
But predicted kept away
Normal traffic weaned

In sympathy with all the starving London businesses whose normal tourist traffic stayed away to avoid the crush of the Olympics. The crush that appears not to have happened…
Please share your thoughts…
Good And Bad
Contemplating bad breaks and how they’re made…
Good And Bad
Advantage drivel
Each size and weight good and bad
At higher levels
And conditions same
For both sides of the battle
So who gets the blame
Unless you can choose
To change the rules or the field
Deciding who’ll lose
