I'm Done

dear baby
does it make you nervous
to hear that word fall from my voice
slow, like a footstep
like I've got no other choice?

oh, baby
is that what you want to hear
that I dream of your palms against my face
sliding down like a solitary tear?

come on now, baby
this world's encased in ice where I can see
I'll tell you to come closer
see if you're as ( Read more... )

When we last left our heroine, she was amidst the monotonous final semester of her undergraduate career. Papers were ubiquitous, class sessions seemed tedious, and more often than not, she found herself repeating "why does this subject even matter anymore?" 
Alas, she faced the duel of finals, papers and yes, the inevitable fight with the parents ( Read more... )

No Weapon

you
always wishing for what you've already got
Hamlet's laments your only theme 
don't you think you're like Romeo, now
he actually jumps despite his reserves
while you'd comment the height of situation.

you, the Ungreat Gatsby
change your soul like
you'd change shoes
so convincing, are you now?
chasing the bands of your brothers out into battle

I remember Mom used to wake me while the sun was still asleep.  It wasn't cold every time we went, but I remember shivering getting out of bed, getting dressed, praying every minute would feel like an hour.  It always seemed like I'd blink and then I'd be getting into the backseat of the car.

Sometimes I'd forget where we were going.  I would watch ( Read more... )

The Lovers

you and i
we dance like trained figurines
wooden birds attached on a cuckoo's clock
forming at the head
when it seems the timing is apt
jaggedly moving along this predetermined track
on and again with changing place of the sun
in a room that fades to black.

I feel like I am living life on Auto-Pilot.
Which means I drag myself out of bed in the morning and walk to the shower, put makeup on, do my hair, walk to work, spend eight hours of the day doing office work, walk home.  But I don't really feel any of it.  I feel like something has gone out of me, that I'm doing these things because they are ( Read more... )

Quote of the Millenium, Thanks to She-Who-Is-Not-Needed-To-Be-Named:

"..Jackie, it was like you were trailing a dead moose! A DEAD MOOSE WITH A JOINT STICKING OUT OF ITS MOUTH!"

.. just one of the many, many reasons why 1. I don't know what I'd do without you and 2.  ..it's a really good thing I have cool friends.

I had this awful dream last night.
I had left New York.  I was living in Hawaii with a group of people--I think it was something career-oriented, we were a class of people training for a certain job or something along those lines.
Doesn't sound too horrible yet, does it?

We were walking along a marina over the water towards the building we lived in.  ( Read more... )
