the beauty of blindness is imagination

the beauty of image is endless

WHITE SWAN EFFECT
If i am not a white swan-

Children with mouths open for rain get flies
Elders wheeled into a corner &parked
DO NOT FALL!(there is no safety net)

on a cell phone party text chat line
Love to be instant -but no time!

HOW TO FORGET
Dreams forget me.I return the favor.
Memories get lodged in my teeth.So i take them out.
I heard a song about time.Took me 3 minutes to forget
She knew all the people i knew.Biblically.Atheist me
My dentists requests return.My teeth are holy. Believe!
Taught to remember.Warned to forget.

WE GET ISSUED ONE LIFE@A TIME
