what a mixed up screw ball life legs stuffed Levis jean a soda pop Crush the games with teens I can’t figure what the purpose is I feel like I’m takin’ some kinda quiz... can you tell me God..? you know I’d want a please understand what it all means I can’t hear all what your sayin’ ‘cause this world’s a frosty freeze It’s mad... It’s sad..! It doesn’t make no sense I’m stuck in times with people that seem so dense I need help can you find me..? will You look “cause I can’t see..! There’s something special “bout this place I feel the things, and I thought where to look but it’s just to hard to give upon such significance so I need your help does that make sense..? or am I just some forsook ? age 14 Don’t Worry don’t worry everyone says... my life is ahead unplanned and still unaware don’t hurry things you must realize..! listen I don’t know what to do I’m hanging on a star with no one to talk to but God and it’s so noisy I can’t even hear if He’s said a thing I’m years ahead of myself much too small for any adulthood but there’s reasons and that’s all I’ve heard won't you just tell me..! I’m blind deaf dumb and with out your voice... I’m sure I belong.... at least some where..! I know..! but, but don’t worry everyone says... just, don’t worry age 16 the ‘ol man of winter can turn familiar territory into a fantasy land or into a gleaming nightmare a bearded man said as I sat close by drinking my hot coffee right after a winter earthquake of two thousand 1 and my surgery he said you got to know many seasonal & winter skills which will most certainly know and tell which would determine a mountain man from a city, he carried on for it seemed like hours how nothing was open 24 hours around the clock except a hospital many miles away and most likely the cops I wondered if I was supposed to be scared..? 2/28/2001 Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 03-02-2001).] |

Very cool. I'm imagining a sculpture in the shape of your poem lying on the floor. And the rhythm reminded me very much of a seismograph/quake reading, so when I passed over the words "earthquake" I felt all excited. Yay! Anyway, awesome writing. Mike |
