As time it turns the river flows
a destined dawn approaches

-Dante Carmelo Cullari

Poets speak of time as flowing like a river winding past trees, over waterfalls, merging with the ocean. Maybe, after all, this may not be so wrong, partly anyway.  I find myself, at rare times lying awake late in the night, or early in the morning alone with my thoughts.   And just what is it that occupies my sleepless mind when Morpheus abandons me in the dark? Time.  Not that red faced tormentor flashing its red eyes at me, reminding me of the hour of the evening that I lay there sleepless.  It is Time that consumes my time, trying with my mechanically inclined mind to ferret out times enigma.  And as time, it turns, a destined dawn approaches.  Morpheus, your cruel abandonment is the wellspring of many a thoughts.

The Stylist, What’s in a name? Segment One.

The book heavy in his hand, pages crisp. As the pages are turned, a deafening crackle breaks the silence of the room. Heavy breath as line by line his right finger scrolls down the pages. Lips moving as he reads. Sweat forms on his upper lip. Name by name his heart beat quickens. His finger comes to rest at the name he had been looking for. He lets out a long groaning sigh. “Yes. 1432 Brentwood Terrace.”

Humans like to roam and always have. Wherever people choose to travel, they find a way, not just today but even in our distant past. Wherever there is land, people have gone there. If it was habitable, people stayed and flourished. As humans have traveled, a record has been left in the archeology of the land. What that record says is not easy to read, the clues are faded, languages lost, memories no longer exist, yet some very old stories do exist.

Nixon bowed and every Republican said;  “Ata-boy, more cheap labor and more profits.”  Bush made-out with an Arab leader in public, they kissed and held hands and every Republican said;  “Ata-boy, more oil deals, more profits.”  Obama bowed and every Republican said;  “Obama made America look weak.”  Who are these dumb asses?
