"People are screwed up in this world. I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode." - Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story


Rocks fill the
barren wasteland
dull and grey
set in their scrupulous ways
cracked
shrouded by emerald vines
Until the wind comes
and overturns them
carries them
on its sweet
serendipitous
breeze
sets them down
vibrant and dazzling






Until time abrades
their smooth edges
Cracks form
and they all become
dull and grey
