Favorite Quote:
"The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality."
- T.S. Eliot


employed at a store –
standing idle,
the store is vacant,
the merchandise exchanges frolics,
i watch, envious,
i wish i had someone to talk to –
but nothing except
lifeless objects are here to listen,
correspond with me,
as i sit,
under idle lights
