"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." (from The Princess Bride movie)


I like the trees in the clocks which grow when they stop,

the flowers of time, how they bloom,

and, the maps that draw themselves

on the walls.

 

Music notes that float in silence

through an open window, they bring

with them the stories that spread

out on the ceiling.

 

And I, it is my job, to listen to them all,

I take their illustrated afternoons,

put them out on paper, it is,

their only chance to live.
