i think that each of us is capable of being midwives to our personal philosophies and thus can easily dissuade the influence of powerhouse schools of thought we find pervasive in mass media, our parents, church, and even institutions of learning. i think we can be assassins of mediocrity and boredom, and can prove to ourselves that the world is not set...that we are authors of our books, spies of our perceptions, and scientists of our behaviors.

Under a hoodie
Today I saw an old man,
knee high socks, sandals,
sparce hair and loneliness,
showering the pigeons with grain.
I saw a cloud-making machine,
each nimbus evolving one after the other.
A man with dark bags under his eyes
sees life with a tint.
He sits at the bus stop,
awaiting his time to come.
After looking at these people,
I felt l was looking at myself.
I am the product of cats inside out
on the left lane freeway.
I hate that how I feel is always at
the tip of my tongue, and that it's never
appropriate to say how i feel.
Laying penniless in a wishing well,
it's impossible to wish well for anyone.
