In High School,
I occasionally practiced
dressing as a poet,
thoughtful sweaters
and lots of hair,
listening to
lots of bands
with 'Dead'
or 'Death'
in the name. Wore
a black t-shirt
most days.
Camus.
Dostoevsky.
Hesse.
Reading alone.
I drank
two Dr. Peppers
and ate
two scoops
of ice cream
every day,
sat in one of two corners
at lunch.
Usually laughing
or arguing...

she lists the book from which
she has a quote tattooed
on her side
as
number nine
hopes
one day
to see her parent's house
burn
acts as the storm cloud
from Winnie-the-Pooh
while
trying to seduce you
all 'tut tut'
and no consequence
casually here
then gone
I know her real
name and realize enough things
to know it's fiction
that matters...

As for movies DeNiro shouldn't have done, RIGHT? SO many. Woof.
gomez:
you had to ask?
i love it.
i love it.
There's a cop parked down the street. He's been occasionally using his siren. People have to be told to not drive through a flooded creek.
jena:
Thank you. It's only going to get better. This is a momentary thing.
After NY I crash out in Philly. Yay.
Dude, what is UP with your "about me"?

feeling foolish for trying to find a way to get her
to love you and realizing
she did
just how she could
not
how you needed her
she wasn't done dancing with strangers
and wanting her any other way was wrong
silly old man
she's young
still seeking
and wounded by childhood wrongs
not yet wanting
just one other
and it's...

I say it sounds like California
and he dreamily says
it is like being there
and I say what
and think
no it's North Carolina
it's a whole different thing
as we round the corner
I see the sign for the Baptist church
the one for sale
the one we've talked about
buying and turning
into a skate rink
coffee bar
cinema-draft house
that sign...

yeah I find myself in the same situation now - had to choose between the waves and the city. I'm 5 hours from the waves now, except in winter when the storms blow through here but I need to be here for the moment. And I'm enjoying it. Brighton is a great city. There are plenty of other diversions here Just have to plan some trips when the swell is right... I hope you get into it; the stoke is incredible, sure your girlfriend tells you often enough...
nuit:
this is nice and dreamy
The lesson I learned from Icarus is this
one splash in the Ocean
is not an event
to me this meant that
no matter how spectacular my failure
the world will probably never notice
when I was younger
this gave me hope
at least I would get a chance to fly

sorchablue:
no... more like it comes running out of me with no control and often with no real sense or reason... quite frustrating in fact... like today, when I cried, truly cried after the end of a show, because it slightly made me feel emotional... but only slightly... O.o;;;
My first morning in Santa Barbara.
On the bench shaped like a whale's tail
before the fence above the cliff
which stands between
the Ocean and I
watching waves
and waiting...
Old sinews of stone inflexible
and unblinking
what have those cliff faces seen?
Two dolphins
I see
almost as soon
as I
sit down
...forever awakening to this moment
finding almost all others gone...

oh the joy of good tips
four old men
pot-bellied
two with beards
all of them sitting alone
each had a folder and a book
the image of them in a row
suggested Darwin
one wore sweat pants
one used a walker
one had an awful sweater
one I've almost forgotten
four old men reading poetry
in a coffee shop
in a strip mall
might be me
one day

Yesterday,
it snowed.
She watched from inside.
She hates the cold.
She likes the thick,
white blanket
that covers her front yard.
She feeds the fire
and cracks a beer.
Not smiling, watching the flames
and whispering a mantra:
It's not just another day.
It's not just another day.
She flinches
when she hears
the front door opening.
Never any time...
