"I see - I see - I see"
I grinned.
"I can't be part
of anything!
The second that I do
I'm dead--
best to choose
another stead
than be part
of this-n-that--"

I see - I see - I see!
I laughed.

Then the bastard shot me dead.

Interesting take on knowing too much. Good write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Oh yes, let them see how much you know and they launch into a mission to prove you worthless...it's their own insecurities..

You DO see...much further then most, and for some that's pretty scary.

I don't ever tell them what I know

I have too many people in my line of work that say "I could tell ya, but then I'd hafta kill ya"

but they don't realize things are not hard to find out if you know the right people

You are, and ever shall be, the master of the clever epigram. In other words, everything else that I wish I was.

Subtle, bitter, cutting... it inspired a laugh... what more appropriate than a laugh? Epiphany is frightening, that's why the Israelites were so terrified of looking upon God directly. Knowledge is risky... you've taken that idea and given it form, and tone. Damn, what an artist, our dear Serenity.

I feel the need to remind you of how brilliant you are, with the hopes of inspiring more of this material for my library. God I love reading from you... you're such a natural.

Much love to you, Karen.

Brian? You hit the inspiration "dead on."

"Now you must die!" LMAO

I have missed you, you clever thang!

But absolutely, this was inspired by that very thought--"no man can look upon the face of God and live."

gleeeeeeeeeeee...

Thanks everybody for reading, and brian? thank YOU especially! *smoochies*

Nice. Very nice.

I believe the most important component of a poem is rhythm. Rhythm is the heartbeat of a poem. It is what makes poetry poetry.
