Thing I learned

Have you felt like you've been walking forever? If so maybe your not that far off. According to http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bingbin/ the average person walks the equivalent of 5 times around the equator. To put this in perspective let me tell you that the earth is 7,926 miles around. Five times 7,926 is 39630, so the average person walks 39,630 miles in their life. My guess is that the average life span for a human is around 75 years. 39,603 divided by 75 is 528.4, which means that you walk approximately 528.4. There are 365 days in a year, so 528.4 divided by 365 is about 1.44. So by my calculations, you walk approximately 1.44 miles a day.

nineteen minutes

looking through blurred glass
a secret love hidden behind thick rimmed metal
a visible line in the sand between dreams and reality
passed from hand to hand until dumped on the cold, stolid floor
always waiting for future, never living in the present
emptiness burns through treasured eyes
looking from the outside into a parrel universe
of smiles and artifically whitened teeth
things will always be different
untill you choose to change them
ending with a sock behind bars
