Album of Emotion

Pasting pieces of history
is dangerous
when the glue becomes too sticky,

and even with tacky fingers
nobody really learns

  1. this is quite an interesting image. I think it is quite a challenge using very few words to convey a message, but if done well (like this one), it serves as a catalyst for thought and introspection on the part of the reader, rather than a tedious exercise.

    I just thought you’d like to know that your previous verse (cottonwool tongue) has wormed its way into my head, and i’ve been humming it to a tune as if it was a familiar song.

  2. Well thankyou pa rasputin.

    It’s interesting to know how people would read that. I had a an idea I was trying to convey that might be read completely different to another person.

    aw. thats a nice thing to hear. Maybe I should get into lyric writing. What tune were you humming it to?
