we can be enticed to drink poison; if someone makes it beautiful
it’s hard to succeed if you are locked to a post and missing a wheel
beware of the claims someone makes that benefit their own interests
whatever we are pales in comparison to what is possible
the modern circus is broadcast on cable news and never leaves town
the path most taken is the path that goes around the sign that says ‘closed’
in a good story we leave out everything we don’t want to say
the story begins with a toasted cheese sandwich left at the bus stop
in the soft focus of the foggy bus window the real world drifts by
the word on the street can be easily ignored amidst the hustle
