I thought I understood the measure of self, perpetuating self obsession in the skrying glass now profaned by razor's edge hieroglyphic history just as scars record a war mapping with pushpin precise exactly where I ought to be moaning that reality is accurate to scale. The only thing I did was blink-- dropping crumbs of spot of ink-- just a slip of arm and I knew that I had failed. |

yea, just a blink. But we must blink or we'll be blind, imagine doing it blind? so not failed, but blinked and slipped... difference. I like this piece. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Serenity~ Lost...Failed? Not you not ever. Those 2 words shouldn't even be part of your vocabulary. Too blink is to look at things from a different perspective.

'moaning that reality is accurate to scale.' And therein lies the problem... |
