A Child in Boston


When the world turns, are we turning with it?

Or are you standing there

like you did last week

in the middle of a crowd

while it flowed (hurried) around you?

I turned for a second, and my heart

it stopped

in fear and in love

for the question unbidden from my lips

"what are you doing"

I'm very random! There's a logic to the randomness, though. My interests/fandoms include anime, videogames, music, theater, science, animals, tv shows, and books, to name a few. I'm an amateur, well, anything at best. I do love to draw, craft, play music, and write, although I'm not particularly good. ฅ(⌯͒• ω •⌯͒)ฅ❣ quack.
