Raises holy hell at any expense Uses religion as a pretense Long lost and so far gone Always fearing the unknown Denying everyone recompense Dreams of a white picket fence Sees love as dollars and cents Heart of nickel-plated gold Likes 'em rich—young or old Says paper chasing makes sense Speaks perfectly fluent nonsense Reckless, cavalier, and intense They say you reap what you sow Sometimes letting go is... letting GROW . . . . . . . Giant steps leave giant footprints

Poignant. Keep this up! Scrape deeper and deeper. I am dreaming of my own vault as I read this. I gamble big. I seek to leap frog to success with every move…and the distances I leap each time leave footprints further and further apart…but this time…I’m up in the air…staying there…for a birds eye view of people like you who inspire me to increase my hangtime to leave an enormous imprint. This one spoke to me…because I’m going through it right now…and nonsense is all around as I attempt to hover till I find a safe space to touch down again.

Bro… Absolutely flames. The artistry within the artistry is something so necessary in culture right now.

There is something in this breath connecting me and John Coltrane and Stevie Wonders “Mr. Know-it-all.” A fine Spring day, Thanks.

I find “Speaks perfectly fluent nonsense” plain, simple and brilliant.
