Tight rope

I’m not a mover or
a shaker
not a jailer
a prisoner maybe
of all that
I know
or think I
know
I walk solo
tight rope
high wire
but not like a
bird
no aegis
or circle of
horn
no angels net
to catch me
when I fall
it is not gentle
on my mind
it is black
like johnny cash
an abyss
but not boundless
I keep a spark
a secret catalyst
it’s a dirt mean
thing
a rumble
a growl
a 300 lbs.
catastrophe
timing is everything

I think this is my favorite thing you've ever written.

You're playing with your spacing, aren't you...?


I don't know if I like this as well as I like your earlier stuff....I like it, but it's not my favorite. (In case you were wondering, Being Nuts is...)


Good stuff nonetheless.  Have you got any further finding a publisher? I have some ideas for you...

Thanks. I'm working on the spacing thing and the copyright stuff. I recieved some copyright forms today. As for publishing, I am open to any advice or plan you have. I appreciate everyone's comments. Again, thanks.

Ok, I'll send you an email....you have the capacity to be big, you know.  I've told people about your stuff, and everyone who's read it has been floored by it...

I look forward to hearing from you. While your praise is responsible for my red face, I am honored that you think I could be big--it makes me feel good.
