Self Discovery
In search of himself...
Elimination process...
None is left but him...

Yet
Started the day earlier than expected,
yet, much later than usual
and yet,
as always,
on time...
Always, on time...
Yet,
always, outside it...

and yet,

Arresting Motion
Today,
at around noon,
I will stop becoming
for a couple of hours; who wants
to join?

Theory
Theoretically,
when I'm talking to myself,
do I hear voices?...
when I'm talking to myself,
do I hear voices?...

Automation
Finds self in darkness.
Doesn't miss a beat! Puts on shades.
Fits in, instantly!

Cracks
Always,
he's slipping in
between the cracks and, yet,
always, he'll still be trying to
get in...

Bid
Went to an auction
Fallen Angel's broken wings
Had the winning bid...

Open Annoying Letter To Annoying Wanna Be Doctors
Ideas are misinterpreted,
are distorted;
they lose their meaning,
assume the opposite of their meaning;
vanish in thin air, they die!
It may sound optimistic,
yet, don't rush to the rescue!
Let your sixth grade excitement wane...
Consider, perhaps, other callings...
As bad as it sounds, similar is the fate of men!

John Smith's Repatriation
Upon his return
took a stroll down his old neighborhood
- no reason -
didn't really notice much...
Born there,
grew up there,
left with nothing, came back with even less...
Ideal strolls, he thought,
should, at least, signify presence.
His couldn't even ignite a single memory
- no surprise there -
He already knew, he always did,
an uneventful life, a life full of non events,
comes full circle
and when wet finds its rope to hang and dry...

His couldn't even ignite a single memory

He already knew, he always did,
an uneventful life, a life full of non events,
comes full circle
and when wet finds its rope to hang and dry...

Playful
Conceptual play:
I think, therefore, I'm not sure...
(Use not in public)

Pertinent Question
Did she lose the ground
under her feet, or, perhaps,
she just learned to fly?...

Maria's Journey
Navigated her way
among clowns and thieves.
- Many a dark corner
breathed her sweet sweat -
A rumor had her
following her heart.
- A rumor proved unmerited;
her heart was going nowhere -
among clowns and thieves.
- Many a dark corner
breathed her sweet sweat -
A rumor had her
following her heart.
- A rumor proved unmerited;
her heart was going nowhere -
