You can call me Birdy.
I'm a suburan intellectual trying to pass off as a pseudo artist; one of those kids whose going to grow up to be a scientist, anyway. Regardless I have an appreciation for what I see and what I'm given, just trying to put sights into feelings into touch into words to make it all wind up and break down and make sense again. The only time I'm really telling the truth is when I'm writing; the only time I'm really lying is when I'm lying - I'll let you decide what to think, because it was never my decision in the first place. With imagination comes the ability to bluff myself into thinking I might have talent, but really I'm just trying to find something to be proud of, something I made with my own hands, my own heart and voice. It's nothing special, but it means more than everything to me. I'm not the American Dream that I'm chasing, I'd like to sympathize with Gatsby. Please listen to my work. Your thoughts mean the most to me, my work means the most to me.
I working slowly to find my balance as something of a beat poet. But I don't really follow much, I just write what comes across. For better or for worse, til death do us part.
My name is Teal.
What are you doing, right now?

I'm very excited to listen to your spoken word, I'm glad you are doing this as well. I don't have my headphones at the moment so I will have to wait another day to have a listen. Best to you, and love. -John
