Sole Full of Roles

In this Universe,
it isn't you go first.
It's all for one,
or all is undone.

In old Sol's System,
it's equally vicious:
step out of line
and you might

as well walk on the Sun.

La Gravità Sociale

Emotion ran high from the onset--

then came the condescending non-sense
of gossip: an impossible process
born of broken promises.
There's no armistice
in derogatory comments--
astrological comets
flying, falling, flaring down--
blaring sounds and varied nouns,
confounding the people I meet,
the people speaking to me....
Free speech is not always enlightening--
in spite of the peace I've tried to keep,
these sheeple keep on bleating at me--

until I'm defeated by deceit.
