I'm working on some reviews and other articles. Plus, I'm trying to live life. so I figured I would give some shine to one of my good friends. He writes amazing poetry and I want him to write more. So allow me to introduce you guys to my homeboy, Tim Lindner. Enjoy this one.

For once, I just write
not for you, and you, and you,
for me, from me
no clever rhymes, or "witty" word play
that sound more like a Will Smith song than anything.
(shout out to Melissa)
no random observation of the world
ending with a hopeful note on tomorrow.
my body, my mind, my heart
are filled with more love than I know what to do with,
more energy than a billion year old star.
In the heat of the summer, I sweat it out
spreading it to others every time I give a hug,
or a handshake,
whether they want it or not.
I mean, it's my sweat.
And I'll work, and I'll work,
In all honesty, I won't stop until I get to the top,
I've got too much that I want.
It's all a symbolic coincidence or a coincidental symbol,
An infinitely large jello mold, or an open box.
(Shout out to James)
At least once a week, I have to tell myself:
"What can you do down there, that you can't do up here?"
When she is sad, when he is hurting
When the family needs a laugh.
So I snail mail my energy, down route 84
and hope it gets there on time.
I embrace this journey, not halfway over
as opportunity to apply what I've learned.
And I could only hope that I will return home
with enough to give back at least as much as I have been gifted.
The world is big and small.
