Where do I start How should i begin, I guess i will just write until the very end, I could start with my name and where i am from, Yes, I will start with that and then more will come, My name is Dylan and I was born in North Carolina, I am nineteen years old but I feel even older, I look much younger or so I am told My days are long and filled with joy I have a daughter No, not a boy I work, go to school, and am a father I own my own business As God as my witness I have a beautiful companion who is full of life She is my joy No, not a boy My two girls are my life one is my daughter The other my future wife My Passion is Business My title is Entrepreneur I love what i do Which is more than most If you love your work Than you too can boast My business is a brand Perception Apparel is the name I create unique Clothes And nothing is quite the same Check me out, The website is the name! Among my hobbies sports are fairly high Basketball is my favorite Still not sure why Other interests  may include: Food, movies, and long walks on the beach This is begining to sound like a date I can't think of anything else to say My life in 300 words It is sort of sad in a way My life in one paragraph Yet i have nothing left to say? Well It seems I have begun to rant I hope now you may know me There is not much to see For this is all there is to me In essence of time let's bring this to a close And if you are lost, this was my Prose.

Let a man call misunderstanding bad luck. God of Mercy, is it misunderstanding or bad luck. Devil say is a bad luck and they trust. I say is a misunderstanding but they do not trust. Any training is a bad luck to you Any tough moment is a bad luck to you Is it not misunderstanding, this is misunderstanding. Is it a bad luck or misunderstanding? Is it fair for an unrecognized entrepreneur to search for a job? If yes that is misunderstanding, pray for him/her to understand. Is it fair for one man to get a Job and ten become jobless?

With that, my Parapets should find Content Knowing you and all Involved will migrate But only sever out those Post-Chains sent Will I be Enlightened from this Debate I should go first, seeing this Program, I, The Valleyed Entrepreneur once invest For special - Hearts which ferrimost go by And boost this Capital for all your Best Only a matter when my eyes Break Lens Which, for once, these Songs never did Exist Since configured to Sportive Water's sense Those Borrowed Drums whose Beat will now resist. With my lips pursed, to the top of my mane I Thank you once again, Beauty's Maiden Name.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - NINETY-SIX - TOM DALEY: M'AM DEBBIE DALEY - RESOLVE
Halfway between Malta and Saco, Highway 2 stops a minute To look back... Beside the road A little shrine waits The traveler: A stone, naturally shaped To form a sleeping buffalo, But etched with lines to emphasize The dozing buff's back and sides And drowsing head. Nearby, a 1920s entrepreneur Saw money to be made... Set up a happenstance hotel Beside the hot and sulf'rus spring, And "Sleeping Buffalo" was born To "heal" and to amuse Odd tourists in their wandering. Not much has changed... The old buff sleeps, But now inside a little pen To keep the tourist vandals Safely from his way. The old resort is open still... Same rusty pipes and yellowed walls And rusty water Warm enough to stain Unlucky bathing suits. (The smell's enough to force The bather to the bath as medicine....) On my way to other places I have stopped along the road To meditate beside the old stone bull... I understand, a little, Now that I am growing old, Tobacco offerings left Beside the sleeping stone. Though not a Pagan, I can feel the distant Ways Before our Western ways Made tourists of us all.

Sleeping Buffalo
I wept as I walked down the aisle My heart was throbbing in severe pain A bouquet of roses in my shivering  hands I felt like a zombie in a wedding dress My dad, dashing in tuxedo Smiling proudly as he gave my hand To this total stranger... A wealthy entrepreneur  ... His type of son in law Very little information that I knew about Marriage was not something that i planned Marriage was something that arranged in my culture My So called Happiness was set before me Just needed me to say I Do Love marriage is something impossible Falling in love? Yet another taboo I cried oh I cried I wanted to see the world I have so much to do Places to visit People to meet Happiness is what I sought for On my own   Yes the diamond ring i was tempted to wear Wasn't so sure should I tie the knot. Should i travel the universe I hated what I did But I was not regretting either Sorry daddy What a big disappointment today... Once again... I had to be a runaway bride...

Runaway Bride
Two blocks up , I am in a different country Land Rover solves the dodgy directions The movie bar in Calacoto feels like home Wood fire outside smoky smoking area Drink fuels the inside outside conversation An almost Irish pub mix of entrepreneur and Adventurer and lawyer and endless talk Between pizza and passion is the fire of love Four hours to wake up call ends the night As midnight curfew calls the others home.

Georgiana Seymour,             Duchess of Somerset crowned _'Queen of Beauty'_ at the 1839 Eglinton Tournament,    the first known                         beauty pageant; W European festivals dating to the medieval era provide the most direct lineage for beauty pageants. For example, English May Day celebrations always involved the selection of a May Queen. In the United States, the May Day tradition of selecting a woman to serve as a symbol of bounty and community ideals continued, as young beautiful women participated in public celebrations; such as the beauty pageant held during the Eglinton Tournament of 1839, organized by Archibald Montgomerie,           13th Earl of Eglinton, as part of a re-enactment of a medieval joust that was held in Scotland;                                the pageant was won by Georgiana Seymour,                                   Duchess of Somerset, wife of Edward Seymour,                             12th Duke of Somerset, and sister of Caroline Norton;                 Georgiana proclaimed _"Queen of Beauty"_; Entrepreneur Phineas Taylor Barnum staged the first modern American pageant in 1854,           his beauty contest closed down after public protest; However beauty contests became popular in the 1880s;     In 1888 the title of _'beauty queen'_ was awarded to an 18-year-old Creole contestant at a pageant in Spa, Belgium. All participants had to supply a photograph & a short description of themselves to be eligible to enter; a final selection of 21 judged by a formal panel. Such events were not regarded as respectable; But beauty contests came to be considered more respectable with the first modern _"Miss America"_            contest held in 1921; Still the oldest pageant in operation,   the Miss America pageant was organized in 1921 by a local businessman as a means to entice tourists to Atlantic City, New Jersey; The pageant hosted the winners of local             newspaper beauty contests in the _Inter-City Beauty Contest_ & was attended     by over one hundred thousand people; _Sixteen-year-old Margaret Gorman of Washington, D.C. was crowned Miss America 1921, having won both the popularity and beauty contests, and was awarded $100_

At the risk of sounding sexist I’d like to pay my highest respects today to the girl at my accountant’s with the beautiful ******* Usually the only things that jiggle there are the numbers on the ledger, but today a couple of numbers stuck out for me to admire. She knew it all added up spectacularly well as she bent down obligingly and pointed out where I should sign and showed me what I needed to see. She knew and I knew that capital gains and expenses were comparatively insignificant here. Saucy insouciance was the obvious upside. Of course, I shouldn’t have noticed, but then I'm afraid that's what happens when you’re more of a ****** than an entrepreneur. Mike T Minehan

Numerous number systems beyond the real: complex numbers, octonions, omnions which can eat whole black       holes.

Why has the experimentalism of the avant-garde, which has failed in       the novel, succeeded in poetry? Because poetry is always experimental; while the novel, on       the contrary, by its nature, cannot be . . . which is to say that experimentalism is synonymous       with poetry, and that applied to the novel, it leads simply to the substitution of the novel with       poetry. --Alberto Moravia Man made the town, Fibonacci inflated zero to be the wheel around which the universe turns and language is the soul walking and talking quietly or going angrily to war.

When my body turns to dust, I want the earth to know it. My knees will filter sunlight, sparkling shards of broken glass to feed the turned, fallen leaves. From my hands will rise a steam, lost from ghosts of wilted dahlias and pulling beads from snail shells. Softening footsteps in numbing silence, my scalp will take root in boulders: a lichen stretched anew. The crunch of my nails will lilt, a filling sound which bleeds the heart. My heart, itself, a rotten composition (spoiled as tender and cloying fruits) will slip through Her fingers, drench Her purpose in richness, and swallow my searing in depth. My skin, taken first as appetizer, breeds microcosms of tiny dancers and will never forget that feeling. Collapsed and empty, one lung and the other will cease to feed themselves, twisting from entrepreneur to altruist. Other sundry organs, bones, hair and ligaments: a donation of retribution, payment for what was stolen, recompense for an unforgivable abuse. It is all I have, and it will be everything.

There is an abundance of knowledge That I’ve grown to know about life, Such as how some green teas, Brew at a temperature of one hundred and fifty degrees, Or the way that hues of paint, Swirl upon a canvas to appear delicate and quaint. And lastly how my friendships are like little lights, Illuminating the darkest corners of my life, bright, And though my brain holds knowledge of, All that I have mentioned above, That that I knew not outweighs that of which I do, Such as the way I feel about you, Or how the hours spent with you feel so few, And how every moment spent brings something wonderful and new, I never knew. I never knew love, That my heart could race so fast, To the melody of the piano instrumentals we listened to last, Or that I would love the way your fingers run through my hair, Or how you hold my hand and kiss my fingers tenderly with care, I did not know. I did not know love, That the aroma of Amazni tea Would bring countless thoughts of you and me, And that butterflies to my surprise, Would flutter within every time I’m gazing in your eyes, Perhaps it is the way you say the word Chicago, Or you have an appreciation for flakes of snow, Maybe it’s the way you draw invisible lines on my skin, I hope you know that this feeling makes me feel beautiful within, And though I know of this now, I did not know, I did not know love, That I had been waiting twenty five days shy of seven thousand-three hundred and seventy four, To meet the one who would make me feel something I’ve never felt before. He who understands of my fears, And is comforting when I’m at the point of tears, Maybe it is his entrepreneur set mind, Or the way our fingers are entwined, Maybe it is the way we write our own poetry with our mouths, Or the way we are both not from the South. It could be any of these, But I do know that, I do know love that, I’ve learned much during these thirty one days, And as I waltz and frolic through this endless maze, The only thought I have of which is meaningful, (Is this) “I did not know that love could be this beautiful.“

I did not know love, That the aroma of Amazni tea Would bring countless thoughts of you and me, And that butterflies to my surprise, Would flutter within every time I’m gazing in your eyes, Perhaps it is the way you say the word Chicago, Or you have an appreciation for flakes of snow, Maybe it’s the way you draw invisible lines on my skin, I hope you know that this feeling makes me feel beautiful within, And though I know of this now, I did not know, I did not know love, That I had been waiting twenty five days shy of seven thousand-three hundred and seventy four, To meet the one who would make me feel something I’ve never felt before. He who understands of my fears, And is comforting when I’m at the point of tears, Maybe it is his entrepreneur set mind, Or the way our fingers are entwined, Maybe it is the way we write our own poetry with our mouths, Or the way we are both not from the South. It could be any of these, But I do know that, I do know love that, I’ve learned much during these thirty one days, And as I waltz and frolic through this endless maze, The only thought I have of which is meaningful, (Is this) “I did not know that love could be this beautiful.“

Calling the two blocks of brick shantys a “neighborhood” is like calling Chris Columbus an entrepreneur. Columbus had three wooden pontoon boats & a palace in the new world. My students have Columbus’ outhouses. I don’t even enjoy walking through there anymore. It’s not a stroll in the park. There’s only so much imperialistic **** you can step in and wipe away before you start to track it in your house.

The Projects
Don’t quit a book until you’ve read the first 50 pages Because she is not a **** Rather an opportunist And she is not easy… Rather extremely open And lastly, she is not a ***** Rather a budding entrepreneur Life is about perspective.

'Poetry is for emos!' screamed a prosaic once Don't worry, he's dead now I shot him with my gun which is made from words 'Poetry is for the beautiful minds' Someone once said 'No, silly! Poetry is for the scarred soul' replied a maiden 'Poetry is for people like me!' screamed Mr.R 'No happiness but chests filled with money!' 'Poetry is my hobby.' said a future entrepreneur 'Poetry is for the one dealing with loss' said the scientist 'I don't care about poetry, How often do you floss?' said my dentist. 'Poetry is dumb.' said the misanthrope 'Poetry makes me think about him' said the victim of infatuation I cleared my throat and spoke to clear the confusion '*You're wrong to say poetry ain't fun poetry is for everyone*'

I AM ME!!!
He plunged his hand in the half-fitted electrical socket, absorbing electrons and sluicing them through to his core. A recreation fit for a man of no station. The nightmare of homelessness’ prospect, the jarring from entrepreneur to beggar was not a loosely whispered theme but the pocket-guarding we recognize, whose opening threatens to spill more than simple vanity. His watched as his insides tumbled into the street, broken beans of pride nestled between the acid and the hernia he gave himself coughing out the last of his security amongst the well-wishers attempting to shield themselves from his need. Discomfiture had not yet defecated itself through his seams and the letters and links he sent out as a man trying to hold a lifeboat without the fervor of clinging hands. The ache to survive not a desperate one, desperation having kicked itself out over the politeness of circumstances that called for something else. Turning back into himself, he ***** his fingers as he pulls himself out of the electrical socket, and walks to pick up his innards on the street where they lay, his pride now a forgotten thing like the pocket-guarded slacks with the loose seams.

Nightmare
Surmounting expectations create competition with me and my companions. People now bumping into each other from exponential expansion. Existential Conundrum. It happens. You have to get a job, be better than everyone else. You gotta get rich, but donate and be "selfless". Be an entrepreneur with millions that saves dolphins, bungee off the Eiffel Tower with the Prime Minister of Ireland. Can't help but feel like we were born in a sandbox with too much expected from us, with such little, never promised rewards. Cardboard presentations with glitter and glue, high scores on the whiteboard. "Mom, please... I'm bored." A Mr. or Mrs. Perfect, immune to hangovers and pressure, while keeping a 4.0 who must always be "in the moment", in full control. Yeah, right. Maybe with a rich football coach who lets you smoke and dope if you run a ball and don't choke... Pray you don't grow old and dash his championship goal. So when I feel my life is diminutive, worthless with no conviction, I just tell myself that I helped people I never remembered or knew. Nobody really has a clue with all this media, race and religion. Whether you think it's science, fact, or fiction, It's just a temporary illusion of your imagination.
