| | My 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.
