first ever impulse, that is
to say he was the type of
man who could...

Kind Of Blue (For Miles Davis)

Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx Ny 1991


Before they could lower Miles 
into the damp, dark ground
Two of the PALL BEARERS
Thought they heard musical sounds

He looked back

But there was nothing...

Deep in the darkest halls of hell
The air is thick and black as night
The ravens crow is only heard
To mark a death or a dying right

When you're mine 
my feelings are fine
when your not 
my feelings are shocked
I gave you my heart 
I gave you my soul

I gave you a show 
my feelings are hurt 
because of your work 
I must go now to lie...

sure I'm 11 but i love my stuffed animal bunny
I have brown curly hair 
with tiny little flares 
I'm 5 feet tall 
and hate the school's bathroom stalls
I've got blue eyes 
and I'm not...
