| The Comedian by s. lutjens Wounded, Hounded He lowers his eyes and trudges forward The bright lights The flashes Are too much for his deflated soul to take. Talent, money are plentiful but not enough He needs more. So alone, he dreams of innocence and beauty. A love that is pure. Who needs insecurities When half the world is expecting him to fail. As they whisper "Can he save himself?" 12/18/00 |
| untitled by s. lutjens The vastness consumes me as I become asphixiated in a bog of jargon and links. No where to go, not knowing what to do, I wander the data chips and fiberoptic cables looking for consolation. My eyes strained, my digits cramped I yearn for the hills and valleys of my memories. I have created my own prison, lost my way, and thrown away the key. 12/18/00 |
