this world made of heroes made of villains made of regulars made of you made of me made of chaos made of structure bred from purpose born of reason among wonder among mystery the mundane among the impossible the recycled among creation into absolute total and complete destruction and such is life and so is death and so is memory to be forgotten made to live then made to die this is the world this is our life
Like many of your poems, I like this. I think it sticks to your strengths in particular. The short and to-the-point lines that rely on the strength of their words' meaning have always been a strong point for you. It kind of reminds me of Charles Bukowski, but it's definitely still you as well. Thanks for sharing.
Your review reminds me of a lesson from Sun Tzu... Always play to your strength while attacking you.. read moreYour review reminds me of a lesson from Sun Tzu... Always play to your strength while attacking your opponents weakness.
I'm glad it reminds you of Bukowski but, that's not necessarily a good thing.
Sometimes this place feels like a mental institution. Without the drugs.

When our pets die, we feel the grief with an intensity. I don't understand those who say, it's just an animal. Our pets are family. They are creatures of habit and they are always there. Their absence hurts. If you have lost a pet you will understand that. I know you have a cat. I very much like your posted image of the sun and moon.

I'm not a real writer.
You're a real writer. And you're lucky I don't make this stranger than is has to be.
