sterile. grey. white. there's a green plant. not synthetic. i can see the dead corners. browning. crumbling. the kind of death that would crumble into ash at the touch. but behind the crackling corners, i see a green life. it's alive... and in my rolly chair... my rolly rolly chair, I look around and see the only life in this place is a dying plant -- and me. in this stretch of silence (the phone does not ring) it feels like me and planty poo are the last living creatures on earth. ~

    ahh yesyes. i do know what you're talking about. i suppose my poem does resemble it. what an honor though. sylvia, while labeled insane, made so much sense to me....

    yeah to me too. though not the kind of poet you ENJOY reading. but you know its brilliant.
    to me its always like when you get burned by a very cold thing.
