I can’t write. I wish I could write. I don’t want to write. I don’t need to write. I can put a smile on someone’s face.

A flicker from a candle.
Steam rising from a mug.
A cold evening with no heating.

People are afraid of me. People hate my labels.
I cannot convince them all.
Universal consciousness abandoned.
