Favorite Quote:
&quot;I wonder if Beethoven held his breath<br /> the first time his fingers touched the keys<br /> the same way a soldier holds his breath<br /> the first time his finger clicks the trigger.<br /> We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.&rdquo; -Andrea Gibson

pale white faces show no pain
only red and black
and the attention that they gain

plod your muddy way through adolescence
lift up your tearstained cheeks and smile
you don’t have to get a real job for a while
