Fragmentos Faces reflected in a pond look attentive. The muses are all in bed with me, and they're creating a ruckus! The unspoken truth speaks for itself. The magician's tricks went unnoticed. Pursed lips leave no doubt. Little windows of light bring hope to the darkened minds of madmen. When Mammon speaks, the oligarchs listen. She loved a hairy beast of a man, for reasons not known to this day. Her sudden appearance caused the culprits to flee, leaving their fruit stands unattended.

About the Author
David M. Calandra began his long journey on August 17, 1951 in Cleveland, Ohio. Finding himself to be one of billions of human beings traversing Our Beloved Planet, he felt he had a few things to say along the way. He currently lives in the High Desert of Northern Arizona, where he finds a degree of clarity in which to work. Dr. Calandra always recommends taking a break from electronic devices to spend some time with a good book. He also recommends trying your hand at writing poetry if you’re interested in spending some quality time getting to know yourself. As a proponent of peaceful co-existence, he’s all for pounding swords into ploughshares and urges you to consider doing the same. Dr. Calandra considers himself a minimalist, but not really a neo-Luddite. He believes in the old adage, “Dharma for One may supplant duality, but tea for two encourages friendly discourse.” With this said, he hopes you will find some solace from the pages within.
