Four Letter Words

the text

You realize that a simple
reclusive man crazy on the
outside
The guy who won't fight back
can take a list
of four-letter words& slowly
word by fucking word, pick the perfect one.
It helps you solve all
kinds of problems.
True or False?
This understanding
doesn't happen overnight.
No Shit.
It's n' uncomfortable
secret talents
who knew?
Like you I know the pleasure of concealment.

Revivify Life

the text

the most challenging ambition
is to revivify past experience

Let's get to the heart of the matter:
We know the importance of loafing
lies in how we measure ourselves.

                      Life
              is either useful
              or destructive.

          Spot the difference.

    Feel peaceful in a heartbeat.

                 Each morning
the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed.

                    Enjoy.

Sometimes

the text

Did
you
know  sometimes you need to
           deny that  human life can be lived like
           you can keep it going as you have?

You're telling yourself that maybe this time
it'll be different.  Don't you know that's
                                  dangerous?
                                                                                        "Wait-- what?"

Sometime the
  tell-tell brain asks:
"How do you deal with this open wound?
 These are perilous days
 and lonely runs both ways?"

G
U  Well, I guess I'd answer:
L               "To make life better
P                                     love your life,
                because life is precious.         You
have to rethink everything you thought you knew.

There's more benefits of life in the slow lane.

Easy Doubt

the text


                All
                things
                considered
If God is listening hard enough
why do dogs die
             in hot cars?
When all the bodies
have been buried in Darfur,
blood splattering everywhere,
can you believe?   I don'teven
                              want to know.

       God can't
be captured
for certain and discord
      has nver
      been easier.

The Art Of Living


the text

The Art
          of Living
can be puzzling.

Let's shed some lifht on life.

Control is an illusion.

Beware:  you can't
                take charge of your
extraordinary out of
                 control life.

You have had to del with heartache.

We shoud have
been more skeptical
                                      What're you
                                       gonna do?

            It has
become increasingly
clear that imperfeftion is what makes us human/

Let's get practical:  We live with what
        happens to us

We jump
       between the dim &
        the dark.

                 We live with open
        wounds.


Live Big

the text

It's morning
       Daylight
              again.  I'm wide awake.
I was ready for anything but
      what I found

      Life's good
and  the good is in the details.
Yep, it's a sweet surprise.

      I never thought
      it could happen
             to me.

Live
Big       ---this is in-
                 credible---

             It takes time
                 to be a
                phoenix.
