Green Stone Messages
During this week's episode of
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues
Which I was watching last night on tape,
Caine gave a greenish, smooth, oval stone
With a stylized snake on it
To a young psychic girl,
Explaining that jade is a powerful stone
And that snakes are powerful creatures
Caine showed the girl his own stone pendant
And told her that with the help of their stones
They could communicate with each other
Later she was in grave danger
And used her stone to summon Caine,
Who rescued her on a rooftop
After clamboring lizardlike up a sheer wall
(A la Don Genaro in Castaneda's books)

Later in the evening
I resumed reading Sonic Boom Trap,
A Tom Swift, Jr. book
I had recently acquired
Tom presents a young woman
Whose life may be in danger
A green cameo ring,
Which controls a mobile robot
Following her for protection
The ring has a stone in the center
That she is to press
To activate the robot's defenses

Yesterday afternoon
I was sweeping out the garage,
Which I seldom do,
When a shaft of light
Speared my attention
From the garage floor
A small chunk of broken glass,
A bright, sparkling, green speck,
Was set on fire by the setting sun's rays
