Ceiling Quote by Nick Pastor Poe
“Mistake free it must be. Absolutely no leaks can creep through cracks in the concrete ceiling we have created from nothing. Handmade. Shaky sometimes but it will hold. A barrier, To defend us from the ran of fire and scrutiny that we have been told from the very beginning. Lessons new and old from different times and people that are so far behind in our rear view mirror that they no longer appear in our mind when we think of what they were. A blur. Nothing. Trust me”
