I had just registered for my first semester freshman classes. The orientation took as long as most work days. The second we all crossed the street, walked up into the building we were lectured in for hours earlier in the day & picked up my ID, I was home free. "I like your headband." a voice from my side went through my ear and into my ego. She was a cutie. "Why thanks, apparently they threw them out for free at Pitchfork. I didn't go, but my friend got me one." I can't take a compliment. The...

There once was a boy, who looked like a toy. He was more of a tool. He started to smoke, had spikes that poked attached to his clothes. "It represents everything I stand for!" he claimed He knew what he knew, blurted it out and told you. Performance art joke? Apparently ants are a rip off... He went to the institute of art He was going to be a photographer Forever given to the cause A starving artist on food stamps. Had a schedule till forty five. His house was clean while he was neurotic. Th...

I'm just a poet who knows it Too good to show it Too slow to show off. Too late, show must go on! Trust me, I'm a doctor I've got a degree Got photoshop, Now I got three. Kick it up, throw down Moon lit sky scraper sunset showdown Chill out Get in love Fall in sane Its safe inside your mind Get ahead Take advantage Charge it to the card. Feeling better yet?

Does time conspire, expire, or retire? Cross the line or start a fire? with hold answers to it's own questions? Give out, up, or in? Sneak-up and catch you in the act? Plan the end or play by ear? Does it even care or know it's own mystery? Can it tell me why the question mark curves? Can it hide you from the world if you play it right? As darkness receeds, comes in the light. This must be over. I think its time.

Is the towel still flat when draped over the rack? Looking like a clock melting in the heat. I'd eat that raisin in the sun now Expire all the ways to bleed the colors off a violin. Imagine where it used to be in the tree. Wet with life in the side. I never told you I was a viola... What a sight to see! The script, behind the scenes of a dream.

We're not supposed to fall in love Don't deny, you know you concur It was half your idea. We're slipping up there can't be long goodbyes, it shouldn't be hard to part. No more silent pauses, or gazing into open eyes. If faut que de passion! We can't be emotional We're wasting the day like lovers. "We can't fall in love" you say "I won't let it happen!" Can't tell if I can trust you. When your lips say one thing, and your tongue, another. This be not war, but indeed be bloody. Would it be fair...

“Look!” I cried out. There were double helix strands of DNA floating through the air that danced so elegantly in a metamorphism waltz with nicely dressed reels of tapes playing their language of noise; I could not comprehend most of it. They were performing for me with no words; they put it upon me to record these strange happenings. It was just one of the many things they taught me. What they revealed to me were discoveries buried like a treasure inside each one of us. With such wonder you c...

Did it go so bad? Was it really so much... ..yeah? Oh,haha! Nothing was so nice. You were better fake. Tell Debbie to down some Valium. You're pathetic if this is an episode. The more you cry out, "You're just jealous!" "Why would it be so bad?" You say you're out for my safety, with no regard to yours. Makes sense, leaves it all up to me. Don't have a fit, don't write this down. You deserve your crown, Miss Ophelia.

There’s a buzz in the back of my head. It feels somewhat narcotic, blissful, and oh, it’s simply perfect. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something isn’t the way it’s supposed to be, but it’s alright for now. I’m just going to keep riding this train. I can feel the twists and turns of the el. Instead of flowing in one seamless curve you can feel as it inches it’s way around the rail quick and bitter. I think I forgot something when I left the house. Not something trivial like the coffe...

Not much has happened to me to really change the way I think or impact me very much. I’ve always had my own way of talking the talk and walking the walk, looking good when I need to, then going out the back door and finding exactly what I wanted, and what I said I would avoid. I was a typical teenager, I experimented with drugs, I experimented enough to probably fulfill the “one time use” for every person in our high school. I couldn’t count the times I’ve lied, on many times instead of prayi...
