What dreams cause me
To abandon my pillow each night?
Push away each of them, in fact
Since there always seem to be more than one Then wake to aching stiff neck twisted
Tits and face smashed against the mattress
Legs and arms akimbo
Like the high pitched body of a jumper
Waiting for her chalk outline
Finally at rest

I'd rather never even see beauty again
And as life gets longer, awful feels softer
And it feels pretty soft to me

nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearnings.

The weather is so fantastic here it's hard to quantify.

I walked outside onto my back patio naked last night. Pretty sure my neighbors to the left, not to mention oncoming traffic down park, can see at least partially onto said patio, but I didn't care. It felt amazing; cool, almost chilly, with moonlight breaking through the trees and onto the ( Read more... )

Statistics

100% on all my homeworks.

80 on my first test. That's the highest score I've made on a math test in years. I credit Bobby, Ryan and Brian, who for some odd reason, all made lower than I did.

Women's Studies

Yep, still hate this teacher. Still tend to ignore my work. Still seeking a topic for my research paper (last time I did Gail Kim ( Read more... )
