Tired boy with lethal imagination

His eyes were wide,
wide like
a Hollywood breast augmenter
who’d been exposed to too much
northern exposure,
hence the high brows
and eyes wide wide.

He was a hoarder of
something pretties.
For if it was
something pretty,
he would hoard it,
and by God
he would adore it.

He never quite understood
some of the simpler
things in life.
Mirrors, fire, water
and women,
in that order.
But he knew enough to
constitute as being confused.

He lived levitated
in his own lost man heaven,
with nothing but paper,
ultra fine sharpie permanent markers
and a bowl of ice cubes to snack on.

He had freedom of speech,
but when he would go to exercise
his listeners gave him the privilege
to bleed.

He was awake
his whole naturally lived life.
The rest of the time
he was sleeping,
which had nothing to do
with natural being.

[Insert quote of wisdom here]

I started out thinking I would qoute lines that I found particularily significant, and found I was quoting the work in total. You make me think, about the words, the idea behind the words, how you meant them, and how I interpret them. Very nice work.

You know, I always feel as if I have gone on some wonderful journey when I have read your poems.

Thank you for taking me with you.

Dang it, I just LIKE the way you draw these charcoal sketches of things, and then make 'em start walking around, alive.

"He had freedom of speech, but when he would go to exersise, his listeners gave him the privelege to bleed" is great, as is the musings about mirrors, fire, water and women.

I imagine Totem Poles, so simply put.
