Greece: Six months after

A cog in the broadcasting industry;
I was there, and now, there is on my shelf
manufactured like a dollar candle unlit,
next to plush Athena and Phoebos,
books partially read, and 1500 pictures
last summer, good deal, had to grab it:
the candle, five dollars, the gods, five euros.

Putting the Parthenon on hold for poetry

Mother put me back in, I dream?nothing is enough
can’t fit on a CD, but it’d be a nice experience
is temporary, truth is
forever catch the spectator, the cleaning lady, not the athlete, the exec,
move to Athens,
move to Mars,
if beauty is in the heartache,
you will be the happiest man on Earth and question your need for God.
now and here will never be again, you know,
but then again,
now will never be here,
anywhere.

Special: follow Stephen in Athens

Howdy, I’m in Athens right now and won’t be posting too often. You are welcome to read my temporary blog though.
