Sketch by Patrick Murphy: http://inspiredsketch.blogspot.com/ That which flows forever from the extremities and from the guts of the wounded cosmos sustains That which flows forever from the memory and from the friction of the nail against the flesh of love remains That which flowed with the anguished cries and with the salty sweat of a man…

The Number of Man

We had been looking for a conspiracy, a gov’t plot to implant microchips in us, or tattoo bar codes on our hands. Yet, there it was, implanted in every cell, and stamped in every double-helix…
