    time to close my eyes
    to dream the ultimate dream
    go out with a bang

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Go out with a bang
    make an impression tonight
    a legend is made
    Les Miserables,
    Volume 1, Fifth Book, Chapter 3
    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    A legend is made
    forged in the glass of your heart
    shatter the world

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Because I'm only ten.
    The world is a mystery,
    Too young for the snow.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?
    Eliot

    that old broken-smiled crone
    laughing in the wind

    Slick smirk across your pale face.
    I know you're crying.

    I know you're crying
    Your skin quivers, your bones shake
    Whirlpools in your mind
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy

    Whirlpools in your mind,
    exploring and creating.
    Shh, they might hear you.

    Shh, they might hear you
    Let's play quietly
    Like two little mice
    Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;
    Our meddling intellect
    Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:
    We murder to dissect. -Wordsworth

    creeping into the brown box.
    Nope, it is taken.

    Bonded in the mind
    Two brains connecting - apart
    Thus not in the flesh
    It is not too late, to be wild for roundabouts - to be wild for life
    Wolfsheim - It is not too late
