RER

I feel like some fish, that's lost in the sea. I feel right at home, where I really shouldn't be.

About Me

i am 24 and it's good to be alive again. and another thing, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop: one two three, three!"How could it be that one day I will say goodbye to all of this and miss the lilac spring, the May times whistling on the wing, and the robin's kiss? In the summertime, when days and evenings are in rhyme, you will not find me in the grove among the lilies in repose or weeding in the garden path where scented seedlings hold on fast. When autumn falls I'll cast no shadow on the wall or hear the owl's haunted hoot high above the rotting root. When all is orange russet red I will not be with you in bed. The day the silent snow descends and lolls to sleep all living friends, I too will slumber in the earth among the seeds and squirrel's birth. Who will miss me? Who will care? When I am called and no one's there?" - Duane Michals

My Interests

"dreaming in between the sheets"waiting for birds to sing deciding what to do with time enacting on the decisions i happen upon listening to the mockingbird biting into a green lime stretching limbs like branches feeling the air like a dog out of a window my breatdth escapes the width of my scope pretend to write poetry: even if it doesn't work you can always remember: it doesn't matter.
