"thumps" poems
I might be dying. I don't know yet. The doctors are still deciding if I will meet Death. I can feel all the weird thumps. I just don't know... I'm in a slump. The doctors have done the tests, but no one knows yet. Am I the subject of a pest, or a huge destructive mess?

Death
The snow glimmers like diamonds, each falling flake sparkling in its own array of prismatic colors. The sky, clear and blue, is sprinkled with these small gems. breathe in.       The air is cool and crisp, stinging her nose on every intake, but filling her lungs with clean fresh air. breathe out.       Little puffs of steam flow from her mouth and into the world, each little droplet tumbling over another as they scramble to explore this new universe, until they vanish completely from sight. breathe in.       The soft breeze drifts carelessly over the snow, leaving an icy touch in its wake. breathe out.       The thumps of her heart increase and fill her ears as she approaches the gate. breathe in.       The thumps become steady, a rhythmic beat to keep the time. breathe out.       Three. The hand goes up. breathe in.       Two. silence.       One. It drops. breathe out       She is gone.

Like a male monkey you rises up And thumps hard your chest-it is you and you only! O Man! You forgets, who you are and what you are is Nature’s She generously gives and she avariciously takes- Just a few chances she is giving you to repent before she ruthlessly returns She is a sharp, doubled edged sword-merciful and merciless! Man, Humanity is not hostility: Humanity is humility! Like Sheol that is never satisfied you want to swallow the whole world Like death you want to take everything, big-small-you want to stomach all Everything you want to keep to yourself, to be to your entitlements You take and leave nothing at all for the harmless hopeless-the voiceless Yet you easily forgets, when the angel of death calls it’s only you and your soul in burials Your ill amassed pride, wealth and health is not with you anywhere in this your brutal trials Man, Humanity is not gullibility: Humanity is generosity! O man! O man! You fills the whole world with mortality You have killed the sole essence of the soul’s endless immortality With your undignified dishonesty, your free-will to filthy immorality War you begins wealthy to get-war is a supernormal profiting business Man, Humanity souls has never been subjects to severity but sanctity! Innocent-as little as little children-you murders-they were inevitable! Common civilians’ deaths are collateral damages-inescapable! You forgets who you are-you are a little loaned, little you returns for judgment Here no allies to look after your backs, no cracks to corruption kickbacks- It is the fairest of all hearings, a ***** for a ***** it is not for a big spoon! Man, Humanity is not ignobility: Humanity is dignity! What you are given to govern you governs not What you are given to take care of you pilfers all For you and your lineages eternal legacies-the richest ever to have graced the earth! Yet you forgets, Master a little while returns to put you to a rigorous account And whoever much is given-that much is also expected, what will be your report? Man, Humanity is not royalty: Humanity is loyalty! Humanity is a community, not a sorority of individuality! Humanity is not infidelity: Humanity is honesty Humanity is not how wealthy: Humanity is how a loyal legacy Humanity is not how large is your multinationals entity: Humanity is how huge is your small heart-its hospitality Humanity is a humble history, a saintly story! © Kìùra Kabiri.

Packed like sardines inside a jeepney— Too full, with a jeepney strike going on. Rushing, mother and child ride along. Greasy, ***** malnourished… The woman holds a can— a makeshift drum. Little boy hands out envelopes, he looks like he's 3 years old, he's most likely 6. Woman beats her drum, nobody listens chatter drowning out the rhythm… Invisible ears to go with invisible envelopes His head touches my legs, dissipating heat— an indicator of how long he's been under the sun and smog The thought chills me… He stares at my sister's shopping bags with searing eyes… Windows that I can’t bear to look into, afraid to see my reflection of clouded guilt and frustration I shake my head, no food to share but my hands reach out to his, to give him some money. My sister remembers a bottle of iced tea, and hands it to him. He has a hard time opening it, and asks for help from the school girls… Invisible again. I reach out and get the bottle from him Temporary refreshment for a body that is parched, for a soul who is thirsty for so much more. I cannot help but gulp in guilty air. He sits on the aisle, savoring the tea as his mother thumps on the can. The little boy retrieves envelopes, all empty— as hollow as the sound of the beating drum. What do you do, what can you do? The jeepney stops. They alight from it... The mother looks back and says, "Salamat." It goes straight to my heart. Her eyes move me most— one eye is cloudy, grayed out, perhaps a manifestation of the storms in her life? That single word seared through me, and I felt how much she meant it… Her thank you made me want to give so much more, to call out to her and give whatever I had at the moment but they are gone... Lost in a crowd of faceless people, and I myself want to get lost, hide my face in shame… What can you do?

Lend me your eyes. So I could fill them with the bursting stars. Telling tales of the spellbinding universe, singing songs of exploding suns... and of splintering quasars. Lend me your thoughts. So that if I may, write of them. Fantastical scribbles of love and praise. Meticulously lined and carefully stitched... with immaculate lace at the hems. Lend me your breaths. I'd catch them as they fall... between the words you would say. Merging mine with yours... introducing colour... and vigour to my monochromatic world of black, white and grey. Lend me your heartbeats... for mine thumps erratic. As if beating in silent mock. I depend on the steadiness in yours. So they could usurp the ticks of worldly clocks. Lend me your hands. Palms up as a sign, perhaps as an invitation... for me to take them. And maybe... hopefully fill them... with mine...

Lend Me...
Sometimes in the mountains On a wall up in the sky I hear music It’s not the wind through trees Or falling rocks (Those these chime in From time to time) But within my chest My heartbeat thumps My breath Floats to my ears A song you sang I can’t recall Is sung again In me

Wind Chimes
With narrowed eyes I glare out the window Ridiculed by the harsh beams of light that glare back at me. My ankles fidget Shoulders lean forward to see the unknowing plane fly innocently overhead and my bike leaning unforgotten against the rotting fence. I stumble back Spinning In a whirring machine that screeches and shudders and thumps on the door Can I come in? Worried eyes flit my way Take it easy Like a fragile possession Teetering on the edge Crowds gather to catch My faults With walls binding me I take comfort in darkness It soothes my body and warms my tears but nourishes my fears

Concussion
She made me dance till I sweat my soul out on the crowd, the girl in the tight dress with legs up to heaven and back put her hands on my tired shoulders She made me laugh out my heart, across the lights and bass thumps that rattled my rib cage while the music played and the friends on my arms held me up to heaven and back with their helping grins She made me happy as I sang my lungs out with a fox lady whose nails scratched sweet life all over my back and I fell in love I fell in love with the way She made me dance

"Made Me Dance"
The music thumps, the walls jump, she pole dances against the jamb. Dust rag in her right. polish in her left hand. House is hers for a few hours to fulfill a fantasy. Bump and grind it babe, the vacumn whiiiirrrs away. Shake that ***** strut that stuff, transfer clothes in washer to dryer. Wearing faded blue jeans, kick that leg up higher. Beds are made, bunnies dusted, she cat walks looking demure. Practices a sultry pout, wiping spots from the mirror. Work the shoulders, drop to a deep squa,t then stick the **** up in the air. Family is due home very soon, straighten her clothing with care. Greet the kids with hugs, husband with kisses, getting dinner to the table. While news plays in the background, her life is happy, solid and stable. Dishes washed, kids off to sleep, taking my husband by the hand, this housewife leads him to our room, where her stripper soul takes command

Soul Of A Stripper, Life Of A Housewife
Often times I’m staring Awing in the curves of full blooming lips Carved jawbone covered with deepening dark moss The journey through the damp forest after warm rain It is all awake alive and breathing clearly Rising and falling like the rare drops from deciduous leaves I cannot tell you how inhuman you feel to me Your skin darkens around your eyes from nights up Long evenings too many and whiskey that never even made it to a cup Sometimes I cannot break a gaze from the casement around your pupil The pools of honey drip further toward me My feet find it impossible to remove themselves So much like quicksand but sweet calming and warm Smooth and simplistic in youth the way skin drapes Hangs over structured bones in the most phenomenal way Just as your eyes are lavished in graham brown You stay glowing even in the cold weather from blessed ancestry Down to tender arteries and muscle where I’ve placed lips a thousand times Shoulders swoop outwards like broad boulders Distinguishable markers play connect the dots toward inked surfaced skin Permanence of scarred lines forming a hot air balloon and anchor pulling it down It’s from your favorite band, I’m noticing synapses collide on the concept Elongated extended vines lead to tools that hold and create masterpieces Strong slender hands with fingertips that press and pluck strings Coat themselves with paint on late evening or early mornings Tread lightly on my skin and illuminate my face with a coaxing touch You are the rain forest from sunrise My heart thumps to the sense of danger behind a corner But I know such things and if they were to **** me, I would be treasured in becoming a tall Kapok With roots buried miles deep

The Rain Forest
Often times I’m staring Awing in the curves of full blooming lips Carved jawbone covered with deepening dark moss The journey through the damp forest after warm rain It is all awake alive and breathing clearly Rising and falling like the rare drops from deciduous leaves I cannot tell you how inhuman you feel to me Your skin darkens around your eyes from nights up Long evenings too many and whiskey that never even made it to a cup Sometimes I cannot break a gaze from the casement around your pupil The pools of honey drip further toward me My feet find it impossible to remove themselves So much like quicksand but sweet calming and warm Smooth and simplistic in youth the way skin drapes Hangs over structured bones in the most phenomenal way Just as your eyes are lavished in graham brown You stay glowing even in the cold weather from blessed ancestry Down to tender arteries and muscle where I’ve placed lips a thousand times Shoulders swoop outwards like broad boulders Distinguishable markers play connect the dots toward inked surfaced skin Permanence of scarred lines forming a hot air balloon and anchor pulling it down It’s from your favorite band, I’m noticing synapses collide on the concept Elongated extended vines lead to tools that hold and create masterpieces Strong slender hands with fingertips that press and pluck strings Coat themselves with paint on late evening or early mornings Tread lightly on my skin and illuminate my face with a coaxing touch You are the rain forest from sunrise My heart thumps to the sense of danger behind a corner But I know such things and if they were to **** me, I would be treasured in becoming a tall Kapok With roots buried miles deep

they say that when the chain of your necklace is twisted it means someone is thinking about you well, you must think of me often i constantly fix it back into a straight line as i daydream of you my heart beats silent, deafening thumps that spell out your name i would stand my ground but it is rather difficult when i keep falling for you and until the day i saw you and felt that wonderful warmth of you beside me i hadn't quite realized just how small my hands were

sweetheart
He started feeling sorry for himself long before he had seen his reflection in shimmery linoleum tiles that stretched into blind corners before the snap of magnetic doors woke melancholy macaroni people strapped to rolling recliners staring past Plexiglas TV's He wore yesterday on his shirt a step at a time... one two, one two felt breaths collectively stop when he walked the halls... one two, one two like watching a one legged cricket with your hand over your mouth As cold as this place was his head had been on fire slammed into paper cups filled with pastel colored blues and pinks and why pills rattled at him like a baby He fell face first into tomorrows slobbered on wooden spoons for vanilla ice cream that he said tasted like Wednesday He would get animated when they ran out of Wednesday and had many rattle cup nights ****** up through a syringe hands and thumps pressed him up against heavy beds of oak bolted to the floor gloves pulled his hair when he smelled like yelling into plastic mattresses the same color as his ***** and no one wants him ******* while their eyes are closed they want to see it they want to say things like "we'll talk about this later" wrap his wrists in sheep's wool, in skin from his ******* clasped by buckles, pulled tight enough to close his eyes He should have **** his pants because chocolate doesn't have a taste and neither did feeling sorry for himself

Thorazine Shuffle
The music itself thumps in my chest
 My body moves all on its own
 My hips sway against yours
 we swing our heads in rhythm
 For in the moment 
 when a band takes the stage
 we all become the same 
 united under a song

 I believe this would be
 a perfect movie moment 
with you and I as the stars
 Our own little montage 

Because in this moment 
I can feel your heat
 We are one in the same
 Our souls entwined in the song

 We have to shout into each others ears 
to have a conversation 
though many words aren't needed
 Our bodies do the talking

 I guess this is what it means
 to feel accepted, in love, perfect
 because I can't imagine myself
 dancing to this song, with anyone else 
but you

Concert
'A triangle on the mount of mercury is certainly an auspicious sign' Thumping percussion of a native beat in my head, a gyrating hindsight The evening streams down pouring streaks of grey and mangled orange Walking past a bicycle chained to railings front wheel mangled into a rough square Squaring a circle, huh? How did that happen? two thumps and a sonant beat...and again... I see you sipping latte by Nero. Mangled, stream out of your eyes many coloured triangles rushing, wheeling at me. Vibrant beat, gyrating bottoms. The mercury is soaring. Ululations. The night-witch has charmed the city in her cloak. Stars, oh, I see mangled triangles out of her hat.

Palmistry for beginners
I think moss is growing, webs are forming, poison ivy is creeping, weeds are sprouting, willows are weeping, inside my chest. I can hear the echo of a tiny, wavering voice, calling down the wishing well cavern inside my rib cage. "Help me..." "Don't forget me..." My shriveled, weary heart thumps and drums feebly against my flesh, crying out for attention, creating tremors, earthquakes, in my overgrown, suffocating, internal garden. The ripples, in the pools resting on my chest, tell me "You're still there." "Don't give up."

Poison Ivy
At least three times a week Thumps, bangs, a loud crash, Doors slamming, metallic echoes, Bumps, thuds, sharp edges, smash I hear shouting, muffled, no words, His voice booms and beats against the walls. Hushed stillness after, as i wait to hear him slam out Clattering feet on the stair to the street Airless, exhausted relief as they fade. Everything echoes in empty impersonal corridors Magnolia walls, polished floors, plain blank doors. The room behind one containing locked fear and silence. I sense it there Hear it breath through the walls It enters my room, far more than the noise A pounding, held in fear So loud that it keeps me awake As I listen, long after. Next morning, so aware of silence, When I hear a sound near my door I jump, as alert as a hunted animal. I hear her heart clench So linked to this stranger by sounds Though I have never imagined her face

Last night Gary Facebooked me: 11:03 PM "Can I ask you to be crazy with me?" Gary said he had been flirting with this girl, May for six months. She wanted to see him in person tonight, And he needed a ride. Gary and I met 11 days ago. Strangers brought together in the streets of Freeport by pokemon GO. he spotted me holding my phone out from a mile away. "Team Instinct? TEAM INSTINCT!" Lightning cracked above us as we cryed in harmony: "THERE IS NO SHELTER FROM THE STORM!" My knowledge of him consists of three things. 1. He works as a security guard Is first responder for medical emergency Tackles felons and escorts people with restraining orders. plays it up like he's a security guard for something mysterious He is a security guard for Wal-mart. 2. Gary buys peoples affection. Throws his money aimlessly Pointing at his trophies Prooving he too is expensive 3. To Gary, there is nothing better to do from 12 - 5am Than wander Looking for pikachu. With me. besides visiting this May. "A taxi would be $80 but I'd rather pay that to you, Bro." On the drive there, He is Squeeing, Singing, Flipping out. "I've got knots in my stomach Bro." Upon arrival, He readily jumps from my car "Go catch 'em Brock" I say. When I get back to Freeport he sends me a messege. 1:04 AM "Dude. I think she fell asleep waiting I'm not inside yet." I park my car in Freeport, Finish catching a Weedle. "I'm on my way, stay safe." "Man I'm so down." "She's not coming to the door Nick." "I'm just gonna curl up on the ground and cry." "I've called her 24 times" He heavily thumps his backpack into my backseat Slumps down into my car. "There is" "no shelter" "From" "the storm" "In my heart." We stare out the window. At the two homeless men With no teeth That he didn't beat. He's holding night vision binoculars And a clean Knife. "I'm sorry I got you involved, Nick I asked you to be crazy with me."

Some people die in Texas. Some people die in Spain. Some people die in their sleep. Some people die in pain. We were all in love with trauma. We were all in love with the same ideas we projected onto people and disguised with their name. I don't live in nine-eleven-land and neither do my peers. I've been monitored by other people's Gods for twenty-two ******* years. Coffee pots and cigarettes stimulate my day and keep the thoughts streaming, that eventually fade away. Some people die in Utah. Some people die in Prague. Some people never get married or have the family dog. We were all in love with status. We were all in love with goals that would make life poignant and make ourselves whole. I don't subscribe to the thought that my thoughts necessarily matter. If life is a horror movie, then I'm the fake blood splatter. Bible thumps and dead eyes, are all part of my design, and how I live and where I die means to separate my mind.

Mysterious Night Come look on vistas ever sweeping the hills a maiden walks in white she seems to create Greater light follow her into the night where fire flies is her crown and lights up her curvaceous gown And the gentle dawn she breaks by her sleepy eyes that causes the heart to be the only sound that is Heard as it thumps with approval add a touch of dew to her hair if you dare a swaying week kneed man Isn’t the most attractive sight but what can be when you’re caught in the awe of such loveliness like the Current of the Seine just turn on the Paris lights stroll the west end the glow from the shop windows Adds to the flow mix it with jasmine and here the slow expressive violin drift along the empty street Its heaven coursing stop the carriage driver it is the perfect night for a carriage ride in the park Somewhere as you listen to the clip clop of the horse’s hooves you are transported to the sea coast Of ole Monterey out at the point of the peninsula the mighty waves crash over the rocks in the Moonlight the night does speak with wondrous overtures love is the thrill that covers all the land Mermaids sing from the hidden mysterious places that they alone know and then all the picturesque Vivid images end alas it was just a lovely dream if so why do I still smell the Jasmine and a perfume that is only sold in Paris

Mysterious Night
**I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, trembling and**      flash [I'm huddled in the                 kitchen corner, she's                 advancing on me, blocking                 every way of escape] **wishing I could be ok again, wishing I wasn't damaged beyond**      flash [I'm on the                 stairs, crouched over so                 she can't reach my                 stomach because I'm already                 crying hard enough to almost                 be throwing up, gagging                 around screams] **any kind of repair that I can foresee, praying that**      flash [I'm curled on my bed like                 a foetus, I ran away until                 there was no further                 to run and still                 she followed me. Hit                 my back, it hurts                 the least there] **the terror will pass, and I won't have to remember**      flash [I'm thinking desperately                 around the thumps of                 knuckles on flesh and the screams                 I can't contain that next time I                 will hit back I won't                 be frozen in place, wishing                 bitterly I wasn't shamelessly                 lying to myself] this.      flash [I can't breathe.]

Thomas, Tommy baby, you are both hot, and sweet. Tom Cat you’re red hot-- when I catch you in your Tom Cat Strut, sauntering across campus, strolling like it ain’t no thing, cuz it don’t meant a thing if it ain’t got that swing baby. So dig this, Tommy Gun, you groove with the best of ‘em when I spot you strollin’— Your head, teetering left and right like a seesaw, boppin’ baby, arms hangin’ loosely, swinging freely, wildly, go! go! legs scooping forward in boisterous trombone slides-- Groooooove Tommy baby! You’re Louis’s best blows-- ten feet from the mic and the Fives baby, you’re hot, red hot, any closer and I'll burn up! Go! But you’re cool, real cool, and oh so sweet. Super sweet-- in your beard like a pepper and salt shaker tossed across the table, I look to see those rosy lips part, and peep those pearly whites shinin' like the bell of Louis’s cornet brandished in the air, under those ballroom lights-- you’re screamin’ Tommy! Let me hear that laugh that shakes the room, punches like Blakey’s bass drum, thumps like Mingus-- T-Bird you’ve got that hard bop in your soul, you’re gonna bop to the top TB, into the third heaven where the angels fall in line to your swing, that incessant strut that keeps the devil at bay, Blow! Blow! Blow! And I see you now Tom Cat, up there in the clouds, digging your way across eternity, bopping and jiving, swinging and blowing, in your faded khaki pants and worn tennis shoes, loosely buttoned collared shirt, tight rectangular glasses that glistened the bell of your eyes even more-- I gotta stand twenty feet away Tommy baby! You glance down at me and wink, rearing your head back to let loose that Mingus and Blakey bottom-end laugh, guffaw guffaw guffaw!!! --so hearty and rich, the backbone of every nervous first-year classroom, and the sniggering seniors you continued to befuddle and dazzle with your mysterious ways and insatiable swing. So blow, Tommy Gun, blow! Go Tom Cat go! Dig T-Bird dig! Let loose Tommy boy! Swing for us, swing swing swing-- Hot and Sweet, Tommy baby, hot and sweet.

Hot and Sweet
Thomas, Tommy baby, you are both hot, and sweet. Tom Cat you’re red hot-- when I catch you in your Tom Cat Strut, sauntering across campus, strolling like it ain’t no thing, cuz it don’t meant a thing if it ain’t got that swing baby. So dig this, Tommy Gun, you groove with the best of ‘em when I spot you strollin’— Your head, teetering left and right like a seesaw, boppin’ baby, arms hangin’ loosely, swinging freely, wildly, go! go! legs scooping forward in boisterous trombone slides-- Groooooove Tommy baby! You’re Louis’s best blows-- ten feet from the mic and the Fives baby, you’re hot, red hot, any closer and I'll burn up! Go! But you’re cool, real cool, and oh so sweet. Super sweet-- in your beard like a pepper and salt shaker tossed across the table, I look to see those rosy lips part, and peep those pearly whites shinin' like the bell of Louis’s cornet brandished in the air, under those ballroom lights-- you’re screamin’ Tommy! Let me hear that laugh that shakes the room, punches like Blakey’s bass drum, thumps like Mingus-- T-Bird you’ve got that hard bop in your soul, you’re gonna bop to the top TB, into the third heaven where the angels fall in line to your swing, that incessant strut that keeps the devil at bay, Blow! Blow! Blow! And I see you now Tom Cat, up there in the clouds, digging your way across eternity, bopping and jiving, swinging and blowing, in your faded khaki pants and worn tennis shoes, loosely buttoned collared shirt, tight rectangular glasses that glistened the bell of your eyes even more-- I gotta stand twenty feet away Tommy baby!

Him
A school bag against a wall, paint peeling at the edges, grass growing upwards, clinging to life between the cracks of the pavement. A hand on the school bag clenched around the handle, fingers pressed together, curled, and the nails press into the heel of the palm. They leave dark little crescents. A boy; he curls tighter against the wall, a shadow throws itself over the bruise on his chin. The boy pulls his school bag towards him, rests his bruise on it. His fingers grasp at the worn weave of it. Eyes close, wrinkle shut. Obscure all other senses, so hearing is the sharpest. Not yet, not yet. No footsteps yet. Breath shudders, suppressed from flaring nostrils. Barely escapes from his lungs, that are squished against all his other organs, in that winding space of a box compressing all of his organs. No footsteps, no footsteps yet. Breathe, breathe. Footsteps. Laughter, slinking around the corner, ahead of the approaching group. It plunges into the taught space of his ears. Echoes there. Thumps against his skull. Footsteps. A school bag, pressed tight against a boy, who wraps his person around it, begs it to be a shield. A hand, curling into a fist. Footsteps. A boy, and three others. Three grin, one does not. He can't see their teeth, his eyes are stuck tight. "Look at this pathetic **** A slap of sole on pavement. A boy stepping forward, body harsh. A flinch. A laugh. ******* hell, I can't even be bothered." Footsteps. A high, quiet sob. Fingers on a schoolbag, loosen.

Give me the sea and I'll drink it all of it Give me the sky and I'll blot it out cut it out leave the gaping earth barren of its liquid dressing and leave the sky naked of its blue face there is no compare that is not to say you are not enough for me not at all it is to say you are more than I could have desired more than I could have dreamed and I do not tire of you not in my darkest moments when I'm stretched thin and there is no longer a devil-may-care draped about my addled mind when my patience snaps when my jaw clamps my eyes droop my brain thumps against my skull not even then with the last vestiges of civility held in grasp not even then can I think to lash out at you not even when you poke or **** plod about my sensibilities maim my sensitivities not even then not even when you roll your eyes give me that long 'hmmmm - really...' I don't give in to the nagging, nigh satisfying itch to shake with rage and curse everything that stems from the womb I am cool as a cucumber placid as a windless lake I roll my shoulders flutter my eyelashes look you up and down say, 'My... my... tired aren't you?' Your shoulders slump Your efforts to topple me abate You nod your head curl up on my lap isn't it funny how comforted we become when we are offered solace in exchange for an argument that neither of us would win?

The Raised Hairs Of Lions...
First Meetings First meetings, open doors, first time my eyes explores. my heart thumps, my breath quickens, be gone jitterbugs and good riddance. First meetings, doors wide open, words kept close,words unspoken. life is short, so keep it simple. keep your heart like its a temple. First meeting, doors arise . I see the upcoming demise. I see it in your eyes. the windows of your soul are shining back. the windows of your soul are ready to attack. First meetings , your heart sets ablaze of wonder and fun. your spirit like thunder, your heart just a blunder , it went off like a gun. It shot me straight in the heart, you shot so straight you almost tore me apart. first meetings, cautious doors, no time to be explored. First meetings, first encounters, first loves. ~When there’s a first remember there's always a last.
