brilliantly cowardice
a flavorful juxtaposition
hellishly gagged and bound
in the confines of that tiny apartment
a stirring genius
against the will of the Heavens
wasting away
such a heavy pressure
you are nothing in this town
staggering that slim line
between glory and crazy
often on this side
less than often on that
well for the art of it all
they say
for the sake of the art
or for sanity
or vulnerability
or fear
always coming back to fear.
