Contemplating my next read, I find that I CRAVE a good epic tale. Perhaps one about a TRIBE that rises up to throw off imperialist forces, that have come to destroy the people’s way of life and put them to work, keeping the empire of the colonizers going. I want it to be engrossing, with an engaging set of leaders from each side, no one a simple BRUTE. Complex moral decisions and robust character development all over the place. Layered with reflections on clashes of culture and the meaning of life. Preferably stretched over several volumes. Ah, a satisfying read, like an excellent meal to be savored and remembered forever!

Living LARGE is to enjoy
the way a black cat looks on a fluffy
rose colored blanket.
Stretched like in a hammock
between cushions along with
the back of the couch.

PRIDE not so much
in our possessions
Or accomplishments.
Choosing pleasures that
won’t make us BROKE.
Relieved to have shelter
from BRUTE forces.
