Vis-a-Vis

     

 Continually haunted by the idea that we are wasting our time, our lives, 

we exhaust ourselves in distraction. To one his own,

the more daring the more exhausted

     The need to fuel oneself and the need to empty are one in the same
 and the most pleasant of times seems to be when we care about neither. 

This vicious cycle can be focused in beautiful ways,

yet...by letting it all go, it all gets done. This world seems to be won by those

who let it go, cause when we try and try, this life seems beyond winning.

We Could Be Anywhere

The quietest places always seems to be the most interesting.

Sheltered Spines

I was seated less then a meter away.

She sang her heart out, barefoot. 

On bare concrete. Bare boned.

Broken concrete. Surprisingly warm.

      

The more holes in her shirt the more charming. I counted four.

Playing and plucking and singing.

The evolution of Latin spilled from her voice.

Her pains

    

I'm sure that England was in her heart

     I'm sure that wine ran through her veins
