Long Term Goals


To live life with purpose, with passion,
sucking it all with great slurps
like sacred water,
orgasmic twitters fingering the high notes,
strumming the bass,
with finesse and grace.

To have descendants
ubiquitous and stubborn as sagebrush,
adaptable and illusive as coyotes,
challenging everywhere their colleagues,
their constituents, their countries
to ever expanding
scopes of integrity and
humanity.

And to write words that sweat truth
a century from now.
