&quot;There are limitations and there are protocols and I&rsquo;ve been warned that I&rsquo;m not supposed to threaten or beg for pieces of someone&rsquo;s soul.&quot;<br /> <br /> Richard Siken, &lsquo;The Long and Short of It<br /> <br /> &quot;My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean&quot; -unknown

Music pulsing through us
speeding past everyone else
the world flashes by
a blur of blue and green and gray
happiness doesn't stay
but for this one moment
i think I can say
that this is happiness that I'm feeling
today
