i woke up, i looked at the news.
yeah. i had a feeling. i didn’t
want to jinx it but. oh well!

i think i finally reached it:
the limit of despair.
no other way to go except up
and out. if you get past the valley
every road leads away from here.

anger can be a healthier emotion
than fear, if you temper it with reason.
invite your rage in from the cold. don’t
smother the screaming of your soul.
