Hummingbirds drop hints
like napalm,
laying waste to the entirety
of a mind already barren,
scorched in more ways than one…
lacking things essential,
thoughtful,
insightful,
but not terrifying.
The whole mess is a field
of nightmare creatures,
tearing every living thing to pieces,
so that they,
in some godlike way,
can find peace among themselves.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
