IdiocyI always used to smudge the page By leaning on the ink as it dried. Not any more: I've come of age.Idiocy
Now the ink has been left still And not a thing can alter it.
All anyone has now is will
To create or to destroy. What I really wonder is When again will we see joy?
ArtistryThe true artist wastes no time between his evenly crafted lies stripping paint that's not yet dry.Artistry
Because he knows, of course, there is no way to quicken the course of day.
He waits, instead, for blood to slow, hearts to stop and souls to flow.
Then he paints his masterpiece: a mortal man without a crease laying still to rest in peace.

He soon picks up the pace, as we hear him filter mouthwash through his blackened teeth into the vortex of the toilet bowl.

I had found myself stumbling, wondering how all of this could have began.
When suddenly I
righted myself, remembered,
it doesn't matter one bit.
Because I know how it will end.
Life's still not fair

Everywhere I go I'm asked if the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. --Flannery O'Connor

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.
