The Few

“THE FEW”


every loss for a man waters 
every abandoned seed from 
childhood.
it pulls the life from decision
and the decision from life.
murder of the mind keeps you 
animated: human being
murder of the animation keeps your
mind: human doing
if you lose both, 
consider yourself lucky.
it’s one less headache.
