Nothing new under the sun
"It isn't enough for a sole voice of reason to exist. In this time of uncertainty, we are so sure that villains lurk around every corner that we will create them ourselves if we can't find them — for while fear may keep us vigilant, it's also fear that tears us apart — a fear that sadly exists only too often — outside the Twilight Zone." This is the closing narrative from an episode of The Twilight Zone that first aired March 4, 1960: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.
Poetry or prose
It’s all been Done
Locked and filed.
But above the Sun
there hovers potential
on the dark periphery
not yet vulnerable
to critique
of mind... time
or its gadgetry
weightless like all things
in outer space afloat
and formless in the void,
that composite blackness
from which all inklings
emerge, uncuffed
light lined and
twinkling
as fathomable
...Released
like prisoners
on parole
