Favorite Quote:
"Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together," Eugene Ionesco


The math man says
our days are numbered.
His arms stretch
and his hands twist
to pantomime
an infinite oneness.
He takes our youth,
he takes our faces.

When I think about
how far my body
is from your mouth,
and how close
you seem
when you’re wrong,
the seconds falling away
don’t seem much like magic.

I love the line, "to pantomine an infinite oneness". Great poem!
