His first car

Found, financed and fixed up
By himself

He stood,
Invincible,
As only a
Proud 16 year old
Can be.

Now,
The girl
Who saw his salvaged old VW Beetle as
Sexy
Was the One for him.

“I know you’ve been hungry, my pets, but I’ve been saving a very special treat. In life, this person was a mean, self-centered man, but now, in death, his flesh is sweet.”

He tipped the dermestid #beetles into the shallow grave. #vss365

See??! You can't even stop inspiring yourself! 🙊

Hmmm, interesting. I think of light as energy/electromagnetic radiation, maybe communication? but not as living or a thing itself. But I actually define it that way because it's (probably) immaterial. I shouldn't explore that any further now though.

We witness. We create. We resonate.

I just did 3! But only because I wanted to tell you that I did do press-ups, plural, and because the cat was under me for the second one, so I couldn't go all the way down. I also thought I would die after the first one, and reconsidered.

I guess you are a devilishly inspiring!

And how are the press-ups going? I should really do some too....

Oh good! As a fellow empath, I was a little worried it would come across a bit hurtfully. I'll take delight!!

Good addition. And yes, that's another tension I definitely feel, that also comes up in this poem. I couldn't figure out how to link it, so I just did a screenshot.

I mean, that sounds like a manly empath to me! Except, maybe, for the first couple lines. I mean, anyone who doesn't admire a manly, or womanly, brave empath can just go fuck themselves until they're on the receiving end of needing compassion and learn to value it.

Thank you for the addition.

Pain taking form is exhalation?

I wrote an earlier poem about artists as a living prism/lens...but hadn't thought about the possibility of adjusting the aperture for pain control.
