"I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues." Duke Ellington

Oh child, lonely as a relic
Come sit upon my shelf and
collect dust sweetly 
spilled upon the room.

Hands will hesitate over
 paradise faintly
then move away again.



"As of a dream, 
the curiosity of old crowds and idle luxuries 
will collect around you.  
Your memory and senses 
will be nourishment for your creativity.  
What will become of the world when you leave?  
No matter what happened, 
no trace of now will remain."
-Arthur Rimbaud-
