let them ring!

LINES WRITTEN@YOUTH POETRY SLAM WORDSHOP Sat Feb 12,2011

Synapses click! snap!
(Camera! Phone home!)

Universal voices speak
when silence breaks out/down

Stress each syllable
to make more bridges

Perfection can wait
We are only human.Only today.

The dogs of silence
meet the moon of words

Sacrifice the notion of "sacrifice"
so you might survive all rituals

It is as much as a bucket can carry-
A hole to fill/water to cry with

The tick of silliness-
2 clowns in a circus

Scrawled walls hieroglyphs
find graffitti sandwiches

Freedom is only what you can
when others say you can not

All alphabets end somewhere
This is where i stop.
