We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Forsaken
Forsaken
When you are jilted You take up bungee-jumping from high bridge towers.
You ride Brahma bulls at the State fair. You wrestle live alligators.
During Valentine’s Day you speed down the highway erasing the memories.
