Harris- I thought you did an amazing job. I was pissed that she assumed you took your thoughts from someone else. I am glad you said something to her.

in re: William Blake

How can you describe
the seer and his visions
to eyes clouded by logic,
or offer his words
to minds that are closed?

How can you reason
with souls cold and dreamless,
rational thinkers clinging
only to hard facts
who dare not believe?

How can you explain
his art or his madness?
There is no way to fathom -
You either see angels
or you don't.
