An Ode To That Which Is Given

I Moby Dick is a classic, so I've been told tried to read when was younger, tried to read when more old chastised my own self severely each time for not having interest in words so sublime. II Billy Budd caught attention and Kafka might mention Ayn Rand, Solzhenitsyn rebellist penchant. III Don't care much for jewelry or bright shiny things phone's likely to voice-mail when it ever rings keepin' up with the Joneses unappetizing introversion my given from generating. Norms cramp my style more often than not I don't watch tv thus have no clue what's hot making up words when I need them is fun inside I try fiercely to douse smoking gun. IV A gift this life given sheer mystery resplendent with wisdom, compassion and love From whence came the spark that lent life to dark? Within without all the same heartbeat.

And those who have that special spark of understanding are ours to befriend. Although I write this while watching the Browns on TV. Ha, Tony
