Say "Hi" in this Thread

[milo]

Hello, I used to write poetry. But, I kind of felt like that fat guy in slingblade with his parting the waters of the medulla oblongata.
Actually, I think when I saw that scene the second or third time was the last time I tried to write anything.
I guess I felt like I sounded like him. Some brute trying to sound deep and just sounding stupid.

But tonight I wrote a poem:

My spirit is restless tonight.
It is a wild and undulating thing made up of tarnished mechanical bits and pieces
And I cannot sleep.
It moves erratically and unpredictably like some varmint rustling through the leaves.
It seems to freeze in place when I try to lock on to it, its shape or intent.
Only to spasm and jerk into motion showing fleeting glimpses of what it is
What it wants
What it looks like
Where it is broken

Hi. Many people feel fat quite often. Just look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I am beautiful as I am."
