where were you?
where are you? while youth gets an old and bitter steak knife pointed towards its carotid and rich men with large, cold beds sink deeper into their doomed philosophies and try with their mangled sincerity to defame the romance in our recklessness and the creativity in our cruelty can you remember ever wanting any of it? or wanting a life at all? for all my lovely words i have loved nothing trying too hard grasping at cleverness they can have the world while i count the days until you can recall with joy how we've already poisoned what we inherited so young PP... I really appreciate the clarity you bring to your voice... and our eyes... our hearts to connect... your creativity inspires me to envy.. shame on me.. but I love your work.. |

Really loved this one PP. A snapshot of the world today. You make me feel the deterioration.
I especially appreciate these paradoxical lines of truth: you are beauty and horror hell's reluctant kiss the lisp of an infinite wisdom |
