"There are limitations and there are protocols and I’ve been warned that I’m not supposed to threaten or beg for pieces of someone’s soul."

Richard Siken, ‘The Long and Short of It

"My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean" -unknown

Music pulsing through us
speeding past everyone else
the world flashes by
a blur of blue and green and gray
happiness doesn't stay
but for this one moment
i think I can say
that this is happiness that I'm feeling
today
