i wish that <br />today i will be a man of <br />few words, <br /> <br />and if there be fewer than a <br />man of few words, <br /> <br />i will grab it still, <br /> <br />but we were already born with <br />all the inconsistencies <br /> <br />i was once a small baby <br />with that loudest cry <br /> <br />my mother said when i was <br />still in the hospital room <br /> <br />perhaps this wish is nothing <br />but an affirmation of what i want to be <br />and what i am <br />really not.<br /><br />RIC S.
