[hometext] => A poem about that something special that we all share as poets.
[bodytext] => Here is a poem about my way of things. It is both a blessing and a curse in that a simple phrase, whispered on a whim, can inspire, appease, or make whole an individual with not one iota of effort or “I give a damn.”, while, at the same time, my tongue is so saturated with undertones and deeper meaning that I am bound to be misread, or misunderstood, everywhere I go. I love the world I live in, the breeze on my naked toes, the beauty in the vulgar mess of Gaea, struggling to hold back the mighty corporation, in a border dispute that rivals the Koreas’. I love anthills and nuclear weapons; I envy the elderly, the mother who is with child, and the snow. And in honor of all of that, here is a poem to inspire insight and personal growth, and to confuse the hell out of you.
