I caught a bug last night! My roommate (Eric) came in from taking his dog (Zeus) for a pee and told me there was a big orange beetle on the ground outside. I jumped up and grabbed a cup and asked him where it was. He laughed and told me and I ran outside and found it (just in time, too! it was on its way underground!). It was covered in mites and ( Read more... )

Ok. So I had another weird dream the other day and one last night, too.

Too Many Rooms: I don’t remember the first part of this dream. I think there was a whole little scene of some sort at the beginning, but nothing really significant, just every day stuff. Anyway, the part I remember is trying to leave a room and ending up in another room, then ( Read more... )

Ok. Over the past few weeks I’ve been having these really odd dreams. Normally I don’t remember my dreams at all and these are only (well mostly) occurring after my alarm has gone off and I’ve fallen back to sleep (cause I do that), so I’m really surprised by this sudden change.

Fucking beautiful day!

That's all.

Lecturer-
Polite, podium
Speaker sets
Microphones in
Stands for a questioning
Opposition-“willing
To listen.”

Our mistake
Was assuming
Lips, alone, can lie-
When it’s the ears
That do the worst of it
Almost every time.

Guilty by association isn’t always unfair.
The affair was a disaster from the start-
A U-turn back to loneliness-
And I knew that.
You-
With your cunning tongue
And condescending lust-
You, the bitch
(who never quite got close enough)
And I-
I, the fool for watching you and smiling-
For knowing what you were
And playing along for mere maybes.

Springtime-

And a determined mind
To take pleasure in

An evening pool-
A would-be-dim swim.

I’m diving in,
Quelling envy and stress.

It’s the best
I can do for a while

To smile, to swim
With you

And ignore a little truth.

Flames on a high stovetop boiler. Flames taking shape in dancing flashes of fights and fears and frustrated circumstances bubbling in this tiny kettle. And small bodies make for quick-rising steam-so I’ll get myself far out of range before it all escapes and whistles out I’m done with this! Aggravation slamming doors. Headlights are blinding and ( Read more... )
