Fly me to the moon.
Hand my hand and don’t let go.
Life will find a way.

Blast from the Past:

I close both my eyes
Because you can pierce through them
Right into my soul

Ants run about like
The flurry of activities
That amounted to
Not much that the one you loved
Would perform every day

Blast from the Past:

There is nothing
More fascinating than
Another person

Suppose you and I are the same.
Then you multiply me the same way I multiply myself
What if I then take the way you multiply yourself?
You and me multiplies with you without me the same way you multiply with me without you.
Ok, just divide you without me.
What is left?
You and I are the same as just you.
You are the same as two of me
As you become nothing

Blast from the Past:

Persuasive rebuke
A studied provocation
Influence lingered

What questions persist,
What keeps you going
After the dew fades

Blast from the Past:

Because I did nothing,
Because I did too much,
Because I did not intervene enough,
Because I interjected too much,
I am leaving your because

I sit in your box
Wondering the next moment
I can move beyond these walls

Blast from the Past:

I tried but was ignored. Moving on.
Your mind’s made up. Forced darkness.

A word to the wise:
Always remember to breathe
Instead of yelling

Blast from the Past:

Out of anger and spite
You shot yourself in the foot.
Forgot the ricochet
