Favorite Quote:
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality... of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape...T.S Eliot


This is what I do everyday
regardless of the place and time.
Visions shift to the right every time I blink
and a line is added to my palm when I think.

I see the answer to a question.
It is unnoticeable.

I sit for fifty minutes
and listen to the scuffs of silly silhouettes trying to be stealthy
as they converse among themselves.

People accumulate in rooms
like scrambling ants
or spores of moss
amassing in the humidity.

I can see
everything

because I am irrelevant,
and I used to be afraid of irrelevancy
until it became my superpower.
Invisible

therefore invincilble.
