I’ve said it before…and i’ll say it again…i’m convinced that blue is God’s favorite color. My first opportunity to go scuba diving presented itself to me a few months ago in Hawaii. I’ve always loved the water; swimming, floating, watching. It’s depth and power fascinate me.

With an asphalt Ascension
Into a playground pantheon
Of class-war champions
Beckoning for anyone who could
Pull off a palm of providence
With confidence.

And although our clumsy
Sleights of hand were always exposed,
Like a bungled party trick,
It didn’t stop us from trying
To create artistry out of artifice.
