			<title>you've been here before</title>
			<description>I'm stuck afloat on the morbidity of beauty. A tragic, melancholy, experience, well it might be, anyways. Do humans--- are humans fated to, fall upon true beauty the moment they die? I often think of beauty when blue skies are above my head. But the sky is always renewing itself (I hope). And what o..</description>

			<description>Sitting, watching. My shoes they're walking without me. What the f**k? The mirror has moved but I have not. Outside looking in sadness, mood swing lack in connection. Ignorant in the words I choose accidents of a universe. Swigs from the flask that's attatched to my hip. We're exploring the unknowin..</description>

			<title>deciding upon importance</title>
			<description>I feel I've been here before. Stuck between false starts and false finishes. Grasping at clouds that are disappearing with the summer breeze. I'm talking to walls, and smiling at windmills. Friends are like butterflies; whittling their way in and out, forever beautiful. And I'm stuck with this pen i..</description>
