One & only, or...

You...anyone.
I stick to the idea,
Relish the feeling,
Regret the loss,
As if there were
Loss.

I am.

Humanity,

Stitched from a patchwork of banality
Erupting into a rich palette of color
Because of the inevitable stumble
Brought on by the push and pull
Of animalistic emotionality
Calling forth complexity
By mixing the carnal
With the conscious;
Creating our mind.

Child

You tear the seam
That binds the wound
With warm utterances.

The ulcer festers
To be rebound
With glue and gauze.

Better to unlisten
To unlearn the smell and sound
Of your 'kindness.'

Life Well Lived

Optimism,
Cynicism,
Compassion.

Smile!

There's nothing like a smile
To remind you of the emptiness of it all.
