Or mythical
Zero to do with being political
Yet they'll treat you li...

It was time to visit the stars
To embrace them with my senses
Though the price was astronomic

Paint streaks...

Looking To Nobody To Save the World
...I hear it more and more,
Every time I visit the store,
Walk along the shore,
Or hear our neighbors next door.
"Nobody is going to tell me what to do",

To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –

It's Not a Bluebird But It's What I Have

No bird lives
in my heart. An
inhospitable place, flooding
