&quot;I reject your reallity and substitute my own&quot;- Adam Savage<br /> &quot;Words have no power to impress without the exquisite horror of their reality.&quot;-Edgar Allen Poe<br /> &quot;It&#039;s not that the questions were too hard, it&#039;s that they were too easy.&quot;-Ayn Rand

Why make the dead suffer my empty world?
Where the wild purple paint
And the fiery rhythm of music
Will never be
I will never be able to
Chisel out sculptures
Paint a canvas green
Sing my song of pain
No more original masterpieces
