Rickey Henderson on third base
Takes a little lead

I have feared death for so long
In the end do you think I'll bleed?

Rickey takes a few small steps
In this world I ramble and roam

Slow throw back to the mound
Rickey stealing home:

                    Safe!

Standing on the beach, sand between my toes
What lays in my future, who will come and go
The sun beams down upon me,I look out
at the vast ocean in front of me,I wonder
I feel so insignificant compared to this ocean
What difference can I make,
will I even be given a chance
I realize then while standing there,
that all I have to do
Is listen to my heart
and it will pull me through
For strength and inspiration
are not material things
They come from deep inside of you
they give your soul its wings
So whenever you're in doubt
and you begin to stray
Take a look down deep inside
and the answer will come your way
If you only believe in yourself
you can make your dreams come true
For no one else can do it,
the power must come from you

The universities are shallow
Took me long to see

Even the elite ones
The elite ones especially

Find yourself a tutor
Greet the library

Read read read
Write eventually.

My music is best understood
                             by children and animals.

According to G.K. Chesterton

According to David Markson.

The patience of the Asians.

(according to me) :)

I wake from a frightening dream
Grateful for waking up

Make me a true team
Make me an empty cup

Sinful proclivities
Yes, I still got 'em

Still to do my best
My best from top to bottom

                  new day

I struggle with women
But I am very attracted to
And sometimes afraid of
Female beauty

I want to be a guardian
A protector
A teacher
To do my duty

i'm no one important
i'll die unknown
but at least once she said
What a cutie!
