Though the sketch is getting old now, the cracks don't show.

the fan in my room rings harmonic
the hand in front of me pauses
mind rolls on
how tempting lately, how terrible
how benign it all seemed in retrospect.
watch the lights flicker in instrumental giddiness.
grinning skulls stare cold judgemental
the earth vibrates just so i can feel
feel i do, too much
close drooping lids catch a moment
perfection in a ten-minute song.
in a twitch it all vanishes
but here i sit.
alone bombarded
alone where i should be sleeping
and cant
run a hand over this cold body
wishing its ridges were more defined

When is the last time you had a good laugh? Hope the world will give you some balance...find some laughter. I miss you old friend. We should all go to Vegas for our birthdays! Brian needs a laugh too... Lord knows you two have fun in Vegas. Take care and think about it! =)
