- If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourt
The writer said as he spoke to the walls of poetry he had written with blood, calmly twirling the paint brush in self-inflicted cuts, eyes blue like earth rocks keep tossing and turning, skipping rivers, and pushing mountains inside out until they look like valleys. Really? Can he really do that? He replies with his mind, mouth not even moving, “Yes I can, imagine an imagination nation,” as he spans his hands the length of a cluster fuck of galaxies. Sanity is complexity, and simplicity is a disastrous parasite that thinks of thoughts never thought of. Destruction, kill the writer, like his words actually meant anything! They called him names like a broken record playing on a record player that never breaks, until he finally went mad and hung himself from a skyscraper. As I walk through the crowd, I could hear them saying things like, “Psychopath deserves it, he let his mind get the best of him, and thank God, God is dead.” Such terrible things to say about a writer who just wanted to write poetry about what the ghosts had told him. You may think that I am this writer, when he writes, he writes. I personally have never learned how to write.

- Pocket, I mourn the man that hung himself. The thoughts he was thinking simple or complex would have scripted amazing poems. ty for bringing this character to life and showing the reader how one who is ridiculed often gives in to death. Intense and abstract! ginga
