Zodiac

I'm a Taurus. But you probably knew that, right?

i am a walking awkward silence.

i have an origami heart,
a prosthetic soul,
and an encyclopedic knowledge
of wasted potential.

the very notion
that everyone on earth
is not screaming constantly
will confound my plastic intellect
until the day i die--

a mannequin gone limp,
wondering if the stars
make their decisions
based on alignments
of people below them.

An origami heart and a prosthetic soul..that is one amazing phrase. I think you have major talent, and I think I'm going to have to check out more of your work!

I'm a virgo, though I don't know what it means really

it is a lovely poem

There is so much to this that is brutal and refreshing at the same time.

I dig.

So it's out of the ordinary that I scream constantly?

And I did NOT know that you are a Taurus.
