Here’s the desire for a touch of fame. Just a little bit. Ever so closer. Imbibe it. Consume it.
My friend’s father was a musician. My aunt met a religious leader. I saw the Queen shopping for pomegranates one time.
Do we all yearn for the lights, the shouts, the shadows, the whispers? Signed cards and special treatment. Ballrooms and beds of the highest echelons. Oh, to get just a taste. Illusions of grandeur haunt our little existence.
There is little wrong with mediocrity. Who can say they are truly destined for greatness? With power comes the ability to abuse; oneself, others, strangers and friends alike. Tread lightly with the screams of thousands. It takes a special sort not to go mad in such a world.
After all, ambitions are one thing. Pure, godless yearning is another.

It feels like there’s a wick in my throat. Seven flames. Seven letters. Seven eyes. Seven sins. Seven cities. Seven regrets. Seven times have I failed myself. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. All shall be Well. The name the number the name the number the name the number the name the number the name the number the name the number the name the number

Ask Mother Goose
Dear Mother Goose,
How can I know what is right and what is wrong?
Desperate
Dear Desperate,
When one’s heart is not enough, perhaps it is time to follow another’s mind.
