Trial.
Dear Scratchers,
I too am one of the world of reform,

a friend once pushed me into
the understanding of her being.

she said that she studied naked in
her room.

of classical doggerel verse.
I think this is why we were such fond friends.
or maybe because i pictured megan nude,
and enjoyed the idea. -
yes, the stained glass ceilings
willfully filling the interior as candles
in the storm. you see, you should not
settle for the faces at the bottom of the base
-ment. where you can look
and stare stuck
in the stones that are the busy
everyday. you question how they cant see
or simply find a place for the design
in their vessels. but you shouldn’t press upon
your self in a negative sense. its not
either of your doings. you felt, and explored
the acquisition of floral.
