THE HIDDEN TRACK

The following passages are dedicated to Leopold, to the vernacular, to certain evil women (you know who you are), to certain wonderful people(they know who they are), to soft afternoons and quiet Sunday evenings, to Fall and seeing your breath for the first time since Spring, and to Isabelle Ya Feng ... a soul slipped by like two ships passing in the still, moonlit sea.
-- Abraham Ahmed, the Surfing Beatnik



An Example of Thought Change...


Oh how vast was the grandeur of that very morning,
Standing with my mind wide open and feet firmly interlaced with the ground below.
To become nothing but a something without endless warning,
Is to captivate intent with suspense and act and yell and jump and show.

All eyes on the impact with inquiries of why,
Forget not the sheepish who's fire is controlled though unable touch!
Hovering above and watching said I:
"Explode oh my interests of motorcycles, autos, and music and such."

Though today, this morning, I stood on the brink,
Decisive in thought. Content just to be. Willing to struggle and try.
To stop further treading, relax and just sink,
Is cowardice and shitty and shall be quickly passed by.

Yes the morning was grand and I knew it to be true,
I smelled-in the sweetness of life in all its disguises.
This ledge may be a fail-tool for you...
But I have tomorrow - as the sun always rises!"
