8 - count
On a clear night you can see for days
While cloudy drinks lick your lips
So tasty
On a journey, once, I saw the moment
Though only once, it's momentary
Repetitive
On a binge you can find small truths
But clouds don't distort, they block
Gigantic
On a train your mind is soothed
This allows one to fully enjoy movement
Kinetic
On a park bench lay the oxymoron
Cloudy dreams crystallize in the daylight
How complete
On a stage all movement is false
It can find no justification for existence
Cynical
On a clear day you could see mountains
But be careful not to strain in vain
Rhymes
On a dare once, emotions shared
And a glancing blow staggers the champ
8-count.

Happy May Day!
If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people.
Prose: Karl Marx, Letter to His Father, 1837
Painting: Alexander Bogomazov, "Sawyers"
