Enclave

Ensconced in Tepoztlan,

minority of awake, in ghetto 

of saints posing no threat,

open source power spot

hidden in plain view.

All the world is in a stage

of unprecedented upheaval

with no place to hide. Oasis

of sanity rare as coffee break.

Simple problems here; why 

the store isn't open yet, when

the power will come back on.

It's usually a matter of time.

No one can solve human 

complexity by making it more so.

Rococo is cute but tiresome...

a blade of grass in a glass of water

is equally profound, depending 

on the mind.

In an eddy of civilization swirl,

backwater avoided by swift current

of events. Front seat in the theatre

of the absurd...pass the popcorn.
