If she was the one who unbuttoned her blouse first, who closed the door, who whispered “Come on, don’t be shy,” and still—he said no. If she was the one who laid herself bare, threw herself at him like a dare in a quiet room—was he man enough to say he didn’t want it? To...

Enough, he said with voice pitched low Enough for now, he whispered slow And curled in upon himself Having nothing left to show Knowing no one and nonself Enough, he cried though no one heeded Enough for now, as he retreated And left another piece behind Having no faith to be intreated Perceiving his own broken mind Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor Enough for...

Abstract ideas flitter about in my brain like butterflies navigating a stiff August breeze. I try unifying them into something, a patchwork quilt of grandiose dreams showcasing profound thoughts that I feel are worthy of sharing with strangers and sycophants, maniacs and mentally sound, downtrodden and dignitaries, paupers and princesses in hopes of making a lasting impression that will forever change their lives. But before unveiling my...
