Nothing is heard as my mind explodes, the debris contained as time itself slows. Yet it all goes so quickly, leaving nowhere to turn, as exhaustion sets in, I just let myself burn. I stare at the canvas, trying to think, unable to distinguish between safety and brink. There...

billions of atoms go eye to eye, staring long enough for cellular renewal but not a change of heart ~ with its septillions of atoms. I'm disappearing. missing crucial elements: colour drained, to fill the backdrop more than me. I become just an object with a story. this...

Premium Member Lichtenstein Mustard on White
You can go too far I could go too far In the pursuit of shocking oneself into life Take a whole dollop of stomach ache Shovel in it Masquerade it as something innocuous Now I like mustard And I like people who like mustard But without wishing to state the obvious There's such a thing As too much mustard I admit to...
