We all have walls

We all have our walls. 

Some of us let one wall drop, revealing our audiences. 

Some of us let two walls drop, allowing opposites in, demanding we choose. 

Some of us let three walls drop and think we can hide behind the one remaining. 

When some of us let all four drop, what our walls have heard is no longer secretive and we're exposed, for better or for worse. 

Those who let no walls drop are doomed to pace relentlessly, getting nowhere, within windowless, door-less constraints.

Winter Haiku

Deep beneath the cold,

the ice, the sting, the freezings

is the warmth of mirth.

Quantum Fork

I would so much

like to be me

who in the clutch

chose diff'rently

and went on his merry way--

left me my own today.

S’incerity

Since sin is in

She's in his'interest

Sincere as'in

It's'instability.

Since sin is'in

As'incestuous

Sincere a sin

As'in stability.

Since sin is'in

He is'in, she is'in

It is singly sinful.

Agape for the gift of life

Reflections

Red escapes alone,

But white with all the colors,

Including its blue.

The Encoded

My secrets are hidden from even me.

But I'll pass some down to my progeny.

I only show part of what I could be.

Scripted nucleic acid, deoxy.

Be’Attitude

We all need the blame

We all feed the shame

We all lead the aim

We all seed the game

We all breed the fame

We all cede acclaim

We all heed the claim

We all plead insane

We all deed the name

We all weed the lame

We all speed the flame

We all freed the tame

We all 'greed He came

We all bleed the same
