The Tracks Go On Forever





















































I never sat down and decided to become a story.

I just wanted to tell one.

I never wanted to be thought of as special.

Just human.

I never set out to help people or make them feel better.

I just needed you because I felt alone.

I never wanted any credit for the way you feel.

I just want you to know.

The List Of Changes






















We can answer any question we have, like how do actors make themselves cry, so we never sit in wonder and wonder at the wonder of the world, anymore.

And anything we watch can be paused, so we never argue about what just happened while we were talking, anymore.

We cannot hope that we might have just missed their call, because our phones are always with us and if they didn't call, they didn't call.

No protests in the streets, just a button marked 'like'.

No one reads stories aloud, unless you are a child.

No letters. Just bills.

The Pattern Is A System Is A Maze









Of course it's complicated. If it wasn't, I probably wouldn't be interested in you.

The Arctic Dream






















Dreaming isn't hard. Dreaming while you walk, work and wonder, is another matter entirely.
