Yes, success. So much, what to do with it.
Flaunt it, give it a flavor, become it or drown.
Dennis Hopper died. Why am I so affected by it? Why can't I stop
thinking about him? A man of not so dubious distinction in an
era of self sacrifice, a great actor. While thousands of innocents may or may not live in the Helmand Province, Mexico, the Gulf, Haiti, the Congo, Korea, Palestine or right here in these so-called United States. The list too long on account of, because of the dime.

We move through that universe of ours,
that hiding place as if we will not be discovered.
We approach like a marauder
stealthy, oblivious.
We are each other, the minor and the major,
the oppressed and the abused.
We are the reflection circumspect,
the reject and the flame that will not expire.
