    Brainfood
    I juggle time bombs with pillows
    above shards of glass,
    And listen to heavy metal as I pray to my God.
    Somehow my life compares to no one,
    Yet I see myself in him and her and them.
    Your little mind, staring off into the distance
    Craving more.
    Feed me, feed me.
    A steak on a string in front of pit bulls on treadmills.
    Get off and walk around.

    Ah yes how routine in a great mind can suffocate the mind, the senses and your life is over... We strive for success a never ending ladder, climbing it only to look across and see we are all on different ladders of different sizes, and no one ever gets to the top of their's. Unfortunately, by the time we realize this it's too late to get off... You are deep... Thanks for sharing.

    "A steak on a string in front of pit bulls on treadmills." Wow! I love that! Really puts a vivid image in your readers mind and makes the point really sink in and hit home. Wonderful job!

    "pit bulls on treadmills". A compelling image if there ever was one. Any of them wearing lipstick?

    I hear a cry in the wilderness. I protect my joy and I hope you do to. I enjoyed your poem very much. Thank you.

    And listen to heavy metal as I pray to my God. My fav part

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
