A past that never happened In her mind things were simpler a while back. As she types out her latest missive, she knows that was never the case. We have mythologized the past into something it has never been. A time of no road rage, no lines and low […]
I Don’t Know It could be a void I could slip into nothing An emptiness could be happiness Your false being has destroyed From the beginning you have been fading Out from the blackness comes a light madness Two bits to every side A void is full A […]
