which one?

in the distance

far beyond my reach

sits a curious quizzical lady

reflecting on

near misses and

wet kisses and

tardy attempts to connect

beat shaded under-rated

near-miss exchanges

sharing these changes

as time slips from us

while clouds, rain, thunder

sweeps over keeping

distances prim

far turns trim

blinking in the flash thinking

we cannot know how

to go

now to hear

one of our voices sing

what only wisdom brings


there's time enough for knowing.

Reactions to the Face On Mars

Reactions to the Face On Mars -- collage by douglas brent smith.      It seemed like a revelation, a sign. Pictures taken of the surface of mars seemed to show a face. Could this mean that there was an intelligent civilization there once upon a time? Many years later, when our cameras produced much higher resolution images we saw that it wasn't really a face at all. It's just something that people do -- we see faces everywhere. We anthropomorphize wildly.  Well, the illusion was fun while it lasted. And it lasted long enough to be on my mind when I made this collage in 1993.
