I sit for what seems like hours in front of my ancient mirror
staring at the body that carries my soul through stoplights and hallways. I widen my eyes and twitch my nose. I'm practicing shocked expressions to turn on each time someone tells a story of insignificant but personal terror. At school I wander past the restrooms with grafittied stalls to a place where even the darkness of my words is grey when compared With all all the other Great Minds captured and bound in each book. I stay for what seems like mere minutes next to a window Pouring in sun that warms the words of ink on each page. I absorb every image and sound recreated in my mind. I wonder how I look to everyone else who passes me at my spot. Do they understand they could be here too? Seduced by a fantasy realm of giant butterflies and amphibian acrobats on lily pads? Or do they recognize only the silence of my favorite place? Rowen |

It's beautiful. Like the speaker is thinking like he does everyday, only their thoughts are special. Did that make sense?
I love these lines the best: QUOTE Do they understand they could be here too? Seduced by a fantasy realm of giant butterflies and amphibian acrobats on lily pads? Or do they recognize only the silence of my favorite place? It's so poetic. |
