The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Proof of Live Birth

I've been expelled from the everyday life

by clocks' ticking

I keep on waking up enclosed

in an expensive box...

On bare walls I hang up my imagination

It's unframed and wild - 

A bitter-sweet Freedom keeps haunting me:

to FLY with a family of pelicans to the unknown

or to DIE  all alone

     under a freeway overpass

I see my fingerprints disappear

one-by-one...


I am writing this as PROOF that

I existed in a World where

ink is Invisible and echoes are Mute
