Favorite Quote:
"When I said that Mercy stood
Within the borders by the wood,
I meant the lenient beast with claws
And bloody swift-dispatching jaws."
~LAWRENCE SPINGARN


I set my mind to obfuscate,
And start my thoughts to dulling,
But little can I tolerate
To bring what I know to culling.
And I find that all despite
My curiosity's eternal vigil
I cannot condone the trite,
And still love the words that acts as sigils.

This poem is about curiosity, and reading in on topics or things you end up regretting having researched. This poem is about not being able to shut your brain off and being unable to forget all the things you wish you could.
