If we are
by Matthew ZangenIf we are,
we were made
breaking upon morals.
We are
definitely finite,
infamously formal
desperate reachers,
speaking for each other
to ourselves,
sorry for our making,
thankful, and mistaken. 09/23/2014 Posted on 09/23/2014

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 09/29/14 at 03:49 PM Congrats on POTD! Loved the phrase "definitely finite", that first word "if" and that last word "mistaken". So many carefully chosen words in this. Thanks! |
