Burst top banking
erupts not as an
idle volcano, but
as an active friend
oozing collegiality
into woozy lands
brimmed by poverty
coughing the dusty
past days of decaying
centuries frail with
invaders, investors,
and others waving a
vast welcome under
the cool crush of 
the ongoing smile
David S. Pointer lives in Murfreesboro, TN.  Recent publications include "The Baseball Chronicle," "The American  Dissident," and "J Journal: New Writings on Justice." David is a  sociologist and has a recent surgical technology diploma.
