Favorite Quote:
"The purpose of fiction is to combat loneliness."-David Foster Wallace


I can be lost in a world,
in more than one world,
just as long as I don't look up,
just as long as I don't turn around.

One moment can electrify,
make the mind seem limitless,
conjuring fantastic images
no one will ever see.

Next thing I know,
my world is invaded
by unwanted clones
of society's conformity.

They don't understand,
they never will.
Getting lost in my dreams
beats being found in reality.


The author's comments:
Oftentimes I find my mind wandering between images only the mind's eye can ever see, and at that distinct moment, I become fully aware of my imagination conflicting with the world around me, as I recoil at the world's unbendable nature.
