"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson in His Journals (via paperimages)

Number the days

if you can

catch them

                                skip a few

run together

on a tether attached to nothing

                held back

by your own means

slave to the idea that freedom exists

slave to the idea that it doesn’t.

            Choose to Submit

or let go

                                                               Retreat

to safety

lost in this dance

that is

the delicate                    balancing act

                     careful

not to trip
