&quot;I reject your reallity and substitute my own&quot;- Adam Savage<br /> &quot;Words have no power to impress without the exquisite horror of their reality.&quot;-Edgar Allen Poe<br /> &quot;It&#039;s not that the questions were too hard, it&#039;s that they were too easy.&quot;-Ayn Rand

The little velvet moose sits upon the floor
His silent tears glisten on his brown fur.
Nothing the same since I walked out the door.
Now he sits on the floor, never to stir.

I can’t tell the moose of my lasting love.
Or of the new nightmares and the new friend
Nor strange thoughts that have the coo of a dove
The only thoughts he has are of the end.

Now I walk back to the forgotten room.
The moose is on the floor facing the wall.
I open the door to a world of gloom.
I find the moose and take him to the hall.

Now the moose sits on my bed, just smiling.
Enjoying the love, no longer crying.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
