Yay poem that was written on a paper table-cloth with charcoal made by burning sticks in candles at my cousin's graduation party.  Yeah.  FictionPress was being funky and not letting me upload stuff, so I decided to post it here.  So here it is.  Enjoy.

watching a flame
on the end of a stick
is to see
the flame of life
that burns within us.

watching an ember
on the end of a stick
is to see
a mind working
like an engine.

watching fire
on a stick or otherwise
is to see
the parallels drawn
throughout the universe.

I actually don't like it much.  Edited the thing twice and it still doesn't work right.  :P  Tell me what you think, please.
