Free For All

Life
is full
of false
starts
and
dead
ends

The
trick
is to
bail out
before
delirium
descends

Bookworms

Solace
comes
swiftly
to
those
who
read

For
those
who can
devour
words
are
freed

Blood
isn’t
thicker

Than
being
happy

Don’t
say
anything
else

He
said

Please
just
hold my
hand

I’ll
stay for
as long
as I can

She
said

Then we
draw a
line in
the sand
