月明かりに照らされて

Jack Kerouac
The Obligatory Cat Photo
Jack Kerouac – or Kero-chan as he is mostly known as by his family, friends, and cool people like me – has been unusually kind to me lately (Kero-chan is wholly and completely the lovely and loving wife’s cat and rarely acknowledges my existence so I’m pretty sure I’m being set up for reasons currently unknown to me and which will certainly play out to his liking and advantage sometime in the future) so I figured now is as good as time as any to get the obligatory cat photo out of the way. I might not ever have another opportunity…
At least not while in such relatively good graces of his.
Besides, if such an awesome and legit photographer as Timothy Price can make such a public and artistic display of affection for his cats, then why couldn’t a hack shot such as me, right…
Right?
Anyway…

Heroes of Dystopia
Heroes of Dystopia
WITH SO MANY THREATS TO WORLD PEACE AND THE INTERNATIONAL ORDER
The rise of China
The decline of the United States
The vulnerability of Western alliances
The emboldened and hostile rogue nations
The turmoil caused by the Arab Awakening
The horror and ruthlessness of the Mexican Drug Cartels
The collusion between terrorist and transnational crime networks
The lawlessness and weaponization of cyberspace
The advancements in nano, bio, and quantum technologies
The cognitive awakening of robots
The corrupted and inept societal institutions
The oligarchical hegemony
The decimated middle class
The blight of generational poverty
The depleted potable water supplies
The destructive weather patterns
The rampant pandemic viruses
And all the rest of the rot…
IT TOOK ONLY ONE UNFORESEEN EVENT TO OBLITERATE THE ORDER AND INCITE CHAOS AND DISASTER ON A GLOBAL SCALE
Economies and governments collapse
Mass violence and wars erupt
Civility is abandoned
Autocracies thrive
Democracies fail
Hope is lost
DYSTOPIA RISES
who are the heroes
the heroes of dystopia
who will rise the dawn

ピアノ弾きは、今日も奏でる。
心の赴くままに －
彼のスタインウェイに
五線譜はいらない

Snow Falling On Field & Farm House

The snow falling as it is
The snow falling as it is
As a dream within a dream within a dream is
Leads me to where my home is
Not to where my house is
But to where my heart is
To where the the forest of my chaste chastened childhood is
To where the sage old oak of that forest is
To where the thickened and knotted and crooked branch of that sage old oak is
To where that branch I used to climb to to
think to
hope to
hide to
hate to
cry to
live to
die to
wonder and why and why and why to
as the snow falls
as a dream within a dream within a dream is
