Favorite Quote:
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes &#039;Awww!&quot;<br /> &mdash; Jack Kerouac

right up close, breathing in my face

but not singing
in tandem with the plink of piano keys

is the question


there, exactly

phrases rising

I doubt

saying yes

elegies longing to swell

rest


time and time again

I find that
smiling beneath a swirling sky

is the only answer
