Favorite Quote:
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”


My eyes have gone dizzy.
Blink once, fever pitch
Forward into spinning spirals.

Slanted keyboards dangle
From distant galaxies, these
Concrete thoughts hanging in,

Hanging on oblivion.
A final chance to grasp you,
Your broken being,

Your slurred comatose words.
Blink twice, brain carousels
Around and pivots downward.

I am very lost and all I see is
Sideways slides that shoot back
Into a puddle of your heart.
