MillionA Poem by Shutter SpeedA million thoughts left unexpressed
Hearing yourself from a million times from a million days
Voices pushing and pulling and clogging and churning you into their wants their wishes and
The Balance?
In you in ideas into motion into events into a life or in
the smiling faces of a million friends to usher you along this road of (imperfection) and maybe it'll be worth a damn but
are you any better off when the lights go down and the show's over and even the ghosts of applause left hanging in the air are nothing but empty silence and
In you is all you have left and do you have any more of What Makes a Life?
In actions? The million reasons you do what you do in a certain way. To ripple the world from the top of the mountain or on the bottom, solid ground when Footing is Lost?
A sweltering summer day in Alabama equipped with a Coca-Cola pen and a million minutes to satisfy The Balance.
Ha-Ha.
