Favorite Quote:
"Irony [is] the song of a prisoner who's come to love his cage" - David Foster Wallace


A pedestal that grafts bones for its support

Accepted for the moments it would bring us rapport

Feet glued to some king we’re all trying to be

We can’t see that we’re lost in a storm

 

Sightlines bring freedom,

travel to our kingdom

We would return seldom

to ground.

 

Obscuring our vision

with the bone of our own

 

A seam of sawdust in the sky

and sorrow is the soft rag;

and too a blindfold

We don as we trace our tongues over the line
