I'm late for class
it's 9:06
-Left lane closed.

I'm still late for class
it's 9:13
-Stopped for a train.

Today, traffic light green
does not mean go
Trains and left lanes closed.

I associate cold weather with
Falling asleep to shivers and cold feet
And waking up to warm bodies and entangled limbs

One of my favorite memories -
A soft knock on the door
Two bottles of wine
Your silly smile
And a happy girl.

Number Song

I've multiplied, I'm 2
He was part of me
he came out of me,
he took a part of me
He took me apart.
I'm 2, he's my art
no, he's separate.
He art one. I'm not
done & I'm still one.
I sing of my son. I've
multiplied. My heart's
in 2, half to him & half
to you,
who are alo a part
of him, & you & he
& I make trio of
kind congruity.

The purpose of all of ( Read more... )

i took a lot of shots of espresso at work today and felt pretty ridiculous.. but in a good way. It was perfect because it was slow which gave me time to finally finish my book and i think being that wired made the book even that much better ( Read more... )

I HEARD LAST NIGHT THAT THE TURKEY FRY IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. MOSTLY BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY FUCKS UP TOM'S HOUSE. BUT I'VE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS, AND WE'VE ALL COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION: WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO KEEP THE TRADITION ALIVE! SO, I'M SUGGESTING A PARTY IN HONOR OF A PARTY. I NOMINATED MY HOUSE AND GRETCHEN ( Read more... )
