Favorite Quote:
O Captain, My Captain!
- Walt Whitman


Shall we paint the town red?
Or any other color that means more.
The boring streets.
Sweeping the rain.
Dressed with cars.

Or shall we walk away?
No, not on a Thursday.
Bleak?
Yes, tortured by our treading laces
And ornamented with our soles.

We will dip our fingers
Into the street
Like it was made of wine.
And throw a spectrum over it
As we cross on a red light.
