Favorite Quote:
“The only people for me are
the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be
saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn
or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow
roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle
you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”-Jack Kerouac


As the sun sets in the blushing sky,
I look back upon the great tracts
Of boundless desert, and see
A sidewinding serpent crossing
My steps, leaving its own tracks
Covering my own.

And as I watch more closely,
I realize that the tracks
Aren’t too different,
And that maybe
It was me
Who was going sideways.
