i've been looking for poignant truths that i can force into poetry recently things that will be like pebbles into ponds of thought concepts veiled in fact overlooked ideas that i could reconstruct my life around because poignant truths are like raspberries late in the season rare sweet and sunny only a few ever find them i tried to scrape back the dust and the rust of my mind and hoped to discover that i had some sort of enlightenment stored there like pennies tucked away for safe keeping recently but sometimes a glass is neither half empty or half full
