Favorite Quote:
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. -Ray Bradbury

Terpsichorean music,

smiles bright as day,

Clothes recieved as Christmas gifts

that once outgrown, were given away

-

Hours of piano practice,

videos of when he preformed,

callouses on his fingers,

the red carnation he adorned

-

Summers spent on tire swings,

long walks along the shore.

All these memories were left to rot

When the man went off to war
