VOICE: Ahmad Razvi

Listen to poem:

Fingers linger Thoughts flying everywhere and Stumble Crumble What was I thinking, where does this word come from How is it written How come that in my head thousands of lines tumble And not a word leaves my fingers My thoughts fumble What was I thinking, I cannot do this They said I could never do this Gather my thoughts sufficiently Succinctly Talk without stutter or tics Don't they know my thoughts are racing RAGING Myriads images are playing Hide and seek: Come catch us! Incapacitation feeds determination Nothing will ever be easy anymore Better be prepared boy and write your poems Ride your wheels Stop speaking with your mouth To begin with you were too loud Anyway! Let your hands talk for you Even if it takes your brain a while To make your fingers type that smile It isn't courage that you lack, So work, and don't look back!

Wow. This is so powerful. Who is reading? It sounds and reads and soaks in inflection. The mood is captured here. Great read. Wesley C.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not smart enough to read your poetry. This one is so cool and makes ya think without over-complicating itself. I admire your ability to write so freely.
