Newark, New Jersey
Is a place I have only seen from windows
Of planes
Or airports
While I write
A to-do list
And life as I knew it
Before
Starts again
Returning home,
I know I must go
To the grocery store
Because my milk has probably gone bad

listen, you just gotta write shit down and then it sounds horrible but pick it up a few days later and make it a poem. poems are easy. knowing what you want to write about is the hard part.

i hope you got my birthday text, i should have called. i am working 35 hours this week before wednesday. omg.

omg, i love the newark, new jersey mayor.

i don't really want to write poems. i mean, i kinda do, but mostly i just want to understand them and be able to write papers on them and not get Cs or Ds because my professor can tell how much i hate poetry.

i did get the text, and thank you. we are both bad remembering friends.

man, fuck working all the time. especially since before i got hired i told them all i wanted to do was be a baker and so they have me as a sandwich prep and then 2 1/2 weeks later they fire a baker and hire a new one.

let's go somewhere! i miss the mountains. let's have a mountain trip for spring break 09.

if you are craving a mountain trip, you could stay with me. like we've been saying for ages, except really.
