&quot;I write about...the masses! The individual doesn&#039;t count in modern society.&quot;<br /> &quot;But aren&#039;t the masses made up of individuals?&quot;<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t quibble.&quot;<br /> (not my own personal quote, but I like it - from &quot;Stage Door&quot;)


The sky was stained by a brilliant blue
As smiling clouds rolled, lazy, across it.
How calm, welcome, the beach was then, and safe,
But that small wave was a beckoning hand.

But lo, the wave grows so high and mighty!
Building its vast empire of water.
The floating raft is ignored, pushed away.
I watch it leave you sinking slowly down.

Last glance up, you see the sunlight above
Not to be touched, the sea swallows your life.
