Array ( [sid] => 101415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => and He knows nothing [time] => 2005-07-17 00:59:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I saw him poke his head outside his box
as he was hovering over mine
and together we made a decision:
We were to detach our dusty shackles.
It wasn't too puzzling.

I said I wanted to find some truth.
He said, "Truth? We know nothing."

The street lights were hiding the stars
and he began to anxiously strip the gutter of its starlight.
I knew what he was doing was against the norm
but it was beautiful.

"Something has to exist," I say.
As he cleaned off the stars he stole, he said "I know nothing."

We sat down as several boxes with pious symbols
began chasing a number of stray truths right past us.
We embraced the silence.

He grabbed my hand and said to me,
"You see, there lies another world
behind my eyes that I could spend
my forever exploring.
That is all I'm sure of."

At that moment,
I saw the stars blink as if they had
awakened for the very first time. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 198 [topic] => 25 [informant] => girlxwithxpen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Hmmmm...I rather like your abstract style of write. Well done. You express yourself in a unique way...I like that. Welcome to YPDC!
