Favorite Quote:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face.” ~Franz Kafka


My petals unfold the stamens of gold.

I float,

Serenely on lily pads while ugly frogs gloat.

These roots of mine are deeply stuck,

In the coolest most delicious muck.
