Bowing to the Strange and wEiRd

MY girlfriend has a friend over here from Australia

She wanted to go Baltimore and see it

Last time she went to some place called the Shake Shack in Baltimore

Raved about it

I looked it up

Its way too touristy. No way

This girl needs to see culture, real art and taste real food
(just my opinion)

In a place that is full of Real people

So , a trip to the BMA to see the John Waters exhibit

then to a place called the Papermoon Diner.

Its the odd little nerdy wEird things in life that offer soul

These are the dreams that come alive from the very still moments' someone has

as an experience in the corner of their bedroom

then this stillness whispers out into more and touches others

strange and weirD scares most people because it rips at the very huge ego and character

they have built.

we make fun of the wEirD because it scares us

or we think and label it

" i wont be popular if i do that"

" it has to be this way"

so we buy a square house, get a square spouse, and a square job working in a cube

and we feel dead

but have our life.
