When it all boils down, its about embracing each others stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good Picture Quote #1

As far as I can tell, there are two kinds of poets: those who want to tell stories and sing songs, and those who want to work out the chemical equation for language and pass on their experiments as poetry Picture Quote #1
