The whole project, the whole concept
was for giving the purpose away
under the false claims of artistry;
no future can be had chasing waterfalls
or anachronistically dancing anarchic
to every passing fashion, fad, and dance,
but the tango skipped, hopped, and tripped;
landed face down in copper wires.
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.
