&quot;If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.&quot;<br /> -Mitch Hedberg


Take my mind
under lock and key.
Put it on a pedestal
far above my reach,
But low enough for the world to see
the madness kept inside my dreams.


It's unexpectedly remarkable,
a private viewing sort of spectacle.
Sell it to the highest bidder,
a Mr. Gray sort of sinner,
who will take the key and sell it back to me.


I can see my dreams from nine to five.
This is an artist's life.

&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;

Wow! This is great... though it is short, it packs a punch
