cracks



He laughed
Sudden,unforseen,unfanthomed
a happy uneventful laugh

and noone saw it,expect the crack in the wall
a slight,unassuming,ugly little crack
Almost dignified in it's incompleteness

almost wistful.
And then no one saw the tears
mild,salty and fresh.something caved in?

the nakedness of the skin
and the coldness of the polished floor
Lying there he smiled and cried

smiling at the ugly crack
almost dignified
almost wistful.

and crying at the word 'almost'.
A cruel word.A cruel world

Yep, lonely, so very lonely.

Beautiful paint though.

de.vile--yeah,it's like being naked and wanting to hide.The panic.the vomit

keshi--the essence of lonliness can't be out in words.It just flows out thru tears or plastic smiles.

transience--yeah,paranoid.isn't it?
