| happy new year, everybodyWow, an incredibly long time since my last post. I guess I just have this poem I just kinda threw out in the last few minutes. Inspired a little by Blackalicious, an amazing hip-hop group with quick rhymes. So this is just some freeflowing stuff. Eh, enjoy if you wish.
Fears
In new years
That might surface
With no purpose
But end
That tear and rend
A vicious blend
I’m seeking to fight
Late in this night
With victomless might
I’ll try to write
Against those leaders
Ignoring the bleeders
Losing limbs and other parts
Maybe most of all hearts
Can I see you cry
Without celebs in your eye?
I try to fly beyond it,
But I get hit
In the pit of my stomach
Dark and black
Take me back
To where I was
Looking on war
I dropped my jaw
At what I saw
The children dead
The parents bled
Wounds I read
In newspapers and nets
On trains and jets
But I just did nothing
While they cried and died
I think I’m running
From the monster come munching
The grass and trees
He don’t notice the pleas
Masses on their knees
Just more of the same
To put up buildings in some name
Does Dubya get the blame
Or a dedicated building for his crimes
Cause presidents so deserve
No matter how they serve
In these trying times
I’m sick of these rhymes
And their associated subjects
I wish they were rejects
Instead of the headlines
Pumped out for deadlines
That take in the cash
Like Iraq
Overbearing like Shaq
A slowdown for us
We took the wrong bus
I guess I better get off and start walking
Cause I’m sure tired of talking.

| friends make teh differenceMy last night at home was possibly my favorite of my whole break. The reason for that of course was that I gathered with a few of my favorite friends and we just played a boardgame for a few hours. It was so much fun and I just want to thank Philip, Danielle, Danny, and Sabrina for being so awesome. It was great to just hang out and laugh and be with friends. And of course, watch some hilarious youtube videos (see links below).
And now I'm back ("home") in Boston. I got back and got to spend some wonderful time with Emily. Then on the bus back into town I saw various graffiti. They've yet to take down some of my favorites (which is nice), though I also spotted some new ones (VESPA and JAZE) and SPACE has gotten better. Anyway, it's cool to be back, and I like to see my friends here again. So weird having 2 worlds that are so distinct.

So finally, since I'm not really in a big writing mood, I'm going to post a few of my favorite poems I wrote over the summer.
7-3-07
We swam together
I was in a movie
Feeling alive in the stereotype.
The water blue and green
Your smile grown so ripe.
I could've sunk to the bottom
But I'd lost
Breathing was short
Energy expended running
Buying ice cream
I hope I don't lose this day
Or the cool lake water.
7-25-07
This fear is tightened coiled within me.
While I await the vengeance of nature and god
I stand to watch his angels soar overhead.
Not ready to interfere,
But waiting to pluck my soul away from here
What happened
When did I shrink from fear?
Have the rolling water's reflections burned at me from too many angles?
The sun's rays beat upon me.
But the water is murky.
And more than anything I'd call for clarity.
Instead
Haze
Maximizing distance.
If I ran, I would still be no closer to you.
Though the forests would be strong and dark.
People return home as I become more comfortable here
I cannot be on edge constantly.
Blot out the sun for me.
It extends upward from the radio tower.
A god of unlimited power.
8-4-07 A patio bar, tired, 10pm
Through the glass tank
Towers
Rhythms and beats deep
Powers
Lights changing dimming into red
Hours
Sky is a ceiling lightening
Flowers
Slowly time changes sensations sweetening
Sours
Behind this glass, safe, he
Cowers
Watching, observing, in the background
Towers
8-7-07
Genuine twisting
Genuflect
Rattled bones my home
Makes it all worthwhile
Tired
In corners leftovers
Tendency to release losses late
Sad
Fact of life
Watch hollow solutions.
Like before
People slipping in puddles.

| more work haiku... and I'm done with 360!
6-21-07
blue outside not black
ferns grow down over this place
softening the bricks
6-22-07
bright again today
as clouds follow the lightning
rain wanders above
6-25-07
floors wooden and still
moving quick past darting eyes
fans turning above
6-26-07
creative and proud
knee jerk reactions to fear
cautious and hopeful
6-27
running out the door
quicktime for the leaves to leave
gonna be hot out
6-29-07
elated senses
ready for the end to come
sleep under the glow | | |
| So I haven't posted jack on here in too long. Let's see. Not a whole lotta news besides the big news of my sister getting married. Other than that I go back to California in a little over 2 weeks for the rest of the summer. I'm happy and sad about that. But the break from my computer and lots of work in general should be nice. I'm planning for lots of bike riding and library time. Mmm.
Anyway, so I was writing some random haikus at work over the last week or so (to take mental breaks from menial stuff). Here we go...
6-7-07
new day at work starts
not sure where the sky is now
fish swim beside me
6-11-07
close to a new glow
equivalent to the moon
glory to the light
6-12-07
morning hesitates
continual awaking
sounds slowly starting
6-12-07
full existence here
doubting the beams overhead
hope for simple life
6-20-07
rainy warm day
always new questions arise
from steamy pavement | | |
