No one is speaking or singing, unless one is performing to oneself. We should speak the words of our poetry and sing them if they are also written to a tune, but only we can hear and listen, and whoever and whatever happen to be in our space, our vocal.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The Plot Thickens
Okay, think back. What happened after Debbie left, after I came out of my coma? I’m serious, man. She broke my heart bad, and I didn’t come out of my apartment for like a week, and then only because I was out of weed and booze. The guys actually came over and dragged my ass to band practice then force fed me chicken wings and IPA. Good dudes, always have my back.
