“Unfinished Gift”

Just hours before an opalescent moon
Waxed in the sky over Brezoria County
Brightly freckled by the Alphae Librae
And the Zubeneschamali, the northern claw,
A green chemical engineer witnessed
The most beautiful miracle of life, appearing
As an infant child with sea-colored eyes.
After, in the makeshift neonatal unit
Of tiny Brazosport Community,
He thought about the woman his child would become.

“13:23”

The relentless wind
of a January day
should keep my sails full.

The Social Network

In case you’ve been in a cave for the last six months, the Social Network is a somewhat fictionalized account of the early days of Facebook, as told in the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. The film characterizes Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as a great innovator who, despite a nagging proclivity toward egotism and elitism (both of which became cornerstones of Facebook’s staggered rollout model), created a platform that has changed many people’s lives.
