Yesterday's and Today's photos du jour were taken at Ed's house. The spray painter's mask yesterday was an irresistible image. It was disturbing, however, in a way that reminds me of chaos and war. Today a small bench with a head carved into each end of the seat. I don't know where they came from... what culture; but the face on each end is slightly disturbing, each in its own way. One seems angry; the other almost smiling... but perhaps a disturbing smile.RUSH

Hope has gone into hiding.
Civilization is lost.
Mankind can’t find its way
around the savage beasts
coming with bats and pipes
swinging, bashing, breaking
everything, loosing rage
beyond all sense and reason.

No calling back,
no withdrawal,
no second thought
in broad daylight,
intent on crippling,
perhaps all sense
of fairness
evaporated.
