pound out the keys
down and out the life
pressures build then recede

knowing isn't half the battle
more like 25% or so
frustration of wasted talent

no help or quarter given
held up by angels and demons
protected by angels and demons

stalemate in the cosmic design
when will the way burst?
will i be ready when it does?

two questions in a row
i'm not loving that
the song that boring brings

break out
no break down
yes i'm ready for dinner

"I believe that all human beings must dedicate themselves to writing poetry for half an hour every day, without worrying if the writing is good or bad, if it will be commercially successful or not. Poetry as a constant in life purifies the ego."

-Psychomagic: the Transformative Power of Shamanic Psychotherapy by Alejandro Jodorowsky
