the area dividing the brain and the soul<br /> is affected in many ways by <br /> experience&mdash;<br /> some lose all mind and become soul:<br /> insane.<br /> some lose all soul and become mind:<br /> intellectual.<br /> some lose both and become:<br /> accepted.<br /> -Charles Bukowski

small things:
lit cigarettes
tantrums
flickered fingers
sweaty sheets
a creaky gate
mostly empty brown bottles
ink smears on hands
late-night texts
cheap rubber
disregarded signs
dirty laundry
quick glances
pointed words
internet searches
because in the end
in our own way
we're all just
anarchists

well, anarchy's my favorite word, so I built off that. I hope that the reader finds through this piece that they're an accidental anarchist every day.
