Words begin to sing,
when read to a beat.
Trochees and spondees
march with stumbling feet.

Your tongue slap-tapping
the dark side of your teeth,
and flipping syllables about,

until the day that they burn
to be shouted with intensity and rage.

I'm sorry the situation just keeps getting worse, but I'm glad you finally have motivation to get the hell out of there. For as wonderful as I think working in a bookstore would be, I'm aware that you are capable of much more. So, get to it.
paperairplanes:
It's barely been a month since I saw you last and it feels like years. I miss you.



I hope everything is going well. Give me an update kid.
