'To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
He was a minimalist.
Like a sky without any stars,
a town busied by each our ghosts
or aims to breathe in a basin wide.
...
The longhand words etched,
metallic in color
lined themselves across vertical concrete,
faces tilted,
...
A ghost gone uphill bends my ear softly
whispers wearily "so help me God".
This. the construct of each institution I enter.
...
If life were some digital thing,
if the world was the mainframe
and the scenery, these AGP,
peripheral processing machines.
...
Even I know there are a hundred billion stars in the night sky
but you'd say perspective is an invisible concept,
no matter how many truths come to me in my dreams.
You're not as invisible as you think you are
