Favorite Quote:
"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin - more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
Bertrand Russell


As I now grasp onto
the last fragments I have
of brittle consciousness I’d like to atone for
my adolescent trepidation,
or vitreous forgetfulness,
and maybe even meet your eyeline.
I’m sorry for leaving
stains on your bed sheets
that fit in about as much as I do
and I’m terribly sorry for
letting my words belie my body
because believe me
I’m bitter-blue
and choking out desire
as sure as the outline of your lips.
