crest.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieses are extracted from my book of prose, “50 Truths and 50 Lies, the first 50 years.” Available From: http://www.cafepress.com/byrongates.26516064

there comes a time when life seems to just…crest.
as though there is an alignment
of all the planets.
when all good and all evil just cancel out.

no excellence.
no wickedness.

no positive.
no negative.

no progress.
no movement.

no happiness.
no sadness.

just…calmness
and…anxiety.

neither looks ok,
both appear fine.

crest, that medium place,
an even point,
the fine line,
when life is as worthless as death.

when there is no difference

between going on…and going off.
