Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

The Edge of Time

Posted December 1, 1999 8:39pm ET

Time slips through unclenched fingers
Words fall through cracks in idle minds
Fear flows out through false ambition
Occurrences once more of malformed kinds
Will you slide unto the depths
Of unclear lunacy?
And when you close your eyes
What do you see?

Breaths slide silently through pursed lips
Sounds fly quietly through untuned ears
Pain curses desperately in closed minds
There’s nothing at all to fear, except for fears
Are you present in the depths
Of untamed lunacy?
And when you close your eyes
What do you see?

Can thoughts of lost tomorrows haunt us still
Can fears of pain and suffering freeze our mind
Will these things help us live months later
Or slip the windswept edge of time
Have we fallen unto the depths
Of unthought lunacy?
And when we close our eyes
What do we see?

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
