Twelve Twelve

I do not much believe

in the viral phenomenon,

but now and again,,

I will float a balloon

into the stratosphere

simply to see what

might come of it.

Twelve Twelve.

Makes me smirk.

(and enough of getting up

at four in the morning.)

I am Dead, and Shining

I stole this title

and forget from where.

Forgive me, I can not provide

the needed attribution.

You know –

the footnote,

the hyperlink.

The action saying

I’m not the author

of this wonderful idea

and you need to know that

and my efforts to tell you so

are clearly deserved.

Two things.

Yes, I am a thief.

But I only steal the best.

I am dead, and shining.
