The Selfishness of Selflessness
construct for the warmth at hand
winds circle to mounding sand
hardened by the throws of rain
fired by the past of pain
higher, than the angels climb
stronger, than the poets rhyme
passersby pay no heed to end
space for only family and...
oh, shit. there's no door.

About Me
About me
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "
