i'm surrounding myself with most every beautiful thing i can get my greedy hands on; all the while denying the inevitable truths that float around me like determined dragon flies. it's very difficult to take a step forwards when you have dyslexia of the feet you know. my mind just sees the paths before me backwards & that's the way i am prone to go. it's the only way that i [know how to go] / [will let myself go.]
everything is tainted. everything.
