He smashed<\/strong>
\nHis ode record<\/strong>
\nBroke in<\/strong>
\nThe same oh<\/strong>

I wrote this poem as the last poem of the day when I had just set a record for the most poems that I had written in a day.\u00a0 That was a couple of months ago, and the record has been smashed twice since.\u00a0 The He smashed<\/em> opening line can be taken as a reference to being totally drunk.\u00a0 I find myself powerless to the muse, and such powerlessness is a great gift, only to be ignored at won’s peril.\u00a0 Perhaps the greatest synchronicity I experience in life is writing poetry.\u00a0 The rhythm and blues of life give me a groove allowing me to dance to the cornucopia of revolutions taking place at any given moment.\u00a0 Waking up to the singular fact that the earth moves at the bottom of my sole is enough to launch thousands of revolutions that I call the daze of my life.\u00a0 May you be moved by that which may be invisible to others at any given moment yet endows your very being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
