23. "I'm the Usain Bolt of Running From My Problems"

[viagra]

Intersection. Lyrics by viagra, music by encrefloue. Listen here. If you find yourself missing my dulcet tones, never fear! I had the honor of narrating my partner's piece, which you can find here. Please check it out and give him your support!

I sink softly down;
You’re sensing that.
Iron curtains
Being drawn in,
A metaphor too apt.

I am holy here

Fantastic! That closing stanza was perfect! I really loved this -
So tell me what to do;
You’re the only one who knows.
My feet are blistered, burning, tired.
And I need to just stop running. That can be a tired metaphor but you made it wholly original and it stopped me in my tracks. Nice work!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this intersection and I thought that my partner and I were able to make some really special pieces.

Thank you, thank you! I really appreciate it :)

What a terrific result-- two strong poems on our national crisis of unequal justice, and you got the chance to have a song made of yours as well!

I liked the second stanza a lot (the dual rhyming worked really well, and also felt 'natural'), as well as the chorus (which expresses how long and hard the avoidance has been and yet still hasn't worked).

Yes, it was quite a gift from encrefloue, and a very surreal experience to hear my words in a song! Thank you for the compliments!

Beautiful! You two intersected so well.

Thank you! It was a unique pleasure working with my partner on this one!
