Russ Goings and the "Now!" Experience
Within the experience, “Now” is the collective notion of what colors the moment, what colors the past, the present and the future.
My Fisherman's Sweater
The populace, attired in charcoal gray,
communicating sotto voce, plies
its ashen paths and paving stones today.
On sidewalks, pushing through the subway stiles,
Chimaera
Shadow sprite, a revenant bottom feeder,
spookfish, ratfish, rabbitfish, enigmata,
glides a mirror drone in the sun-comb strata,
Lastly, Anaflaximab
...And finishing on carbon macrophages.
Data show sustained ability
to activate reverse cholesterol
