    quack is whack

    Actually, yes, I do write poetry from time to time ^_^

    This one is about an epiphany I had when I almost died (car, cliff):

    When I woke up, ears ringing, upside-down in the snow,
    I noticed my shoes were missing.
    This is not a metaphor,
    nor is it any kind of implication of a cold world spun on its head,
    though for years I have been trying to pinpoint the exact moment
    in which my peripheral vision was expanded to include not only the past,
    but also the present/future.
    As elusive as gravity,
    it seems to always be flying from my stubborn fingertips.
    What I mean is that nothing is certain:
    my soul is an avalanche perched on the mountainside,
    awaiting that catalyst, gaining momentum.
    And when I least expect to, I suddenly recall
    the fear my head felt in facing the "Great Unknown,"
    that vast black wilderness,
    although my heart was feeling free...

    I'll post something else later if anyone is interested.
