About the Author

This book is dedicated to my family and friends and

all those who listen…

Tempora labuntur,tactisque senescimus annis

(time passes and slowly over the years we grow old…)

OVID Metamorphoses

0K, Lord Kelvin,

(it is Absolute Zero, and beyond cold)

Okay so now this repetition has come to pass

And we can see How fragile life is in the variation of a few degrees

Tis mere illusion as LIFE shrinks back amidst the traffic and the cars

Only to resurge, in the reappearance of the light that begins dissolve this wintry freeze….

Singing firstly in the trees….but still it is and cold

What we compose in life, our stories, friendships, loves and lives

Is all that, both bold and old

even as our minds and bodies decompose, that they may just survive us …For a while

In and out of style?

How may our society fare so, when others too have disappeared?

Sumerians, Assyrians Phoenicians…
