- at the movies -

                                        I am 					
                         pounding on my glass house

                                          searching for a stone					

					living on the borders
                                            a footnote in the margin
                                                    of my life						
									white space

                                                     a	      
	                                                   void


                                            surrounding color				
                            colorless		   
					not even black and white


     I want to scream indelible ink							
         vomit psychedelic technicolor						
	                                  	break my chains		
                                                                     		-live
                         stuck forever in the verge		

					silently screaming
	of chances never taken
		a life never begun

                                                  flashes of color:					
                                               falling over the brink 
                                                 as they flit away		
                                                 out of my hands
