what i believe
I believe the stone is more alive than what I can find of angel.
I believe my mother with her furnace did not want to make me pencil.
I believe I am not pencil, but I have a pimple like other persons,
I have to admit it, when I squeeze my pimple lead comes out.
Is lead some magical meaning? Once I read a book where a man called metals.
He called metals like I cry, he called them a way to not be here.
I did not understand. He said, I mean he wrote (excuse me)FOUNTAIN!
I thought, this is what I also believe.
