you live in my dream state
we're low-key my fantasy
i stay in reality
you live in my dream state
any time i count sheep
that's the only time we make up
you exist behind my eyelids
now i don't wanna wake up

20/20 vision
cupid hit me with precision
i wonder if you look both ways
when you cross my mind, i said
i'm sick of chasing
you're the one that's always ( Read more... )

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, ( Read more... )

We lay in the sun and talk about things we'd like to do. We spend the evening in dark corners of bars.

A very long weekend, filled with excesses and vices.

I'm thinking about having a Communist Party party or Capitalist vs. Communists theme for my birthday, but I have no other ideas as of now. My room can only accommodate so many.

A quote from Neil Gaiman:“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from ( Read more... )

This isn't finals-related at all. I wish it was--so that it'd be easily vanquished. Oh the contrary ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to the sound of Garrison Kellior reading this poem. I haven't caught the NPR poetry of the day since high school. I have always just heard the segment while driving my small red car, so I couldn't devote my entire attention to the words either. Oh, Garrison Kellior.
