Stranger On A Foriegn Shore


“And you can’t even begin to believe

There’s so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me” –Ben Gibbard


Once again, the train of thoughts in circling the lining of my skull must make a pit stop and drop another entry of the random babblings that is my blog. The splatter of word vomit on the page, distributing matches the pattern of word vomit issuing from my mouth these days.


Confucius say!: Why use the end to start? (All quotes resembling persons live or dead are unintended and incidental)


Ode To The Futbol Jersey


Ode to that guy in the soccer jersey

Brightly colored

Escudo, living a distant land…not his land

Jersey not just worn, protected.


The jersey acts as a second skin,

The jersey lives on an island, feed by fish

The skyscrapers in the distance do not represent dreams

They represent distance, not progress, distance.


Distance from all that is

Humanity derived from a stubborn land

A lifestyle fading away into existence

All’s fare in jersey


The dirt accumulates as the day’s chores pass

Not a look, nor any appearance of glamour.

Days upon days, continue,

As the jersey remains bonded to its master.


If cloth hits dirt,

Foreign fingers find, fishing fresh

Clothes, to protect against the world, their chores

Water brings life, to the man…and his jersey.


Random factoid: Bach's cello suite #1 touches me on a deep level.
