Fast-Forward Thoughts

An oyster makes a pearl, from a single grain of sand. From the dust

of the earth, God made man. Sometimes I think you made me from less.

Somehow I don't feel blessed. We poisoned the earth, spilling oil in

of the first heartbeat. They were both incomplete. These thoughts fast-forward

through my mind. All the time. All the time. These thoughts fast-forward through my mind.

All the time. All the time. Wish we could rewind. With a hole

in his heart, and a need to be loved, upon his own reflection,
