 <\/p>\n

I capture thoughts as they come.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May they entertain or educate someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why they keep saying that<\/span><\/p>\n

poetry is dead, on its final terminal breath,<\/span><\/p>\n

when there has been such an explosion<\/span><\/p>\n

of new interest and events in the cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially <\/span>here<\/span><\/i>, in Spokane.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spokane, where I can often walk to the<\/span><\/p>\n

next poetry show or take the bus in the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps a Lyft if I am feeling fancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid the mating wooly aphid swarm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there any chance that there exists<\/span><\/p>\n

something before you that you\u2019re not seeing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Because <\/span>I do. <\/span><\/i>Poetry <\/span>is Truth<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is an exhalation of exaltations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a dagger <\/span>thrust <\/span><\/i>into The Heart of Deception<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(person <\/span>or otherwise<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My cries, they come forward<\/span><\/p>\n

in waves, most days.<\/span><\/p>\n

They <\/span>must <\/span><\/i>be brought <\/span>forth<\/span><\/i>, to completion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once written, it becomes a validation of The Self.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping it <\/span>inward <\/span><\/i>is a personal Hell.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>A Question, anymore.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I capture thoughts as they arrive in due course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each verse, it is A New Beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, of course, <\/span>it must end<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

to <\/span>complete The Cycle.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I WILL NEVER STOP<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

UNTIL IT IS DONE.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This feeling, I WANT<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

FOR EVERYONE.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
