Just thought I’d drop you a line
To say I miss you.
It’s beautiful here.
A nice warm rain every afternoon,
Always followed by a rainbow.

All my love,
Elizabeth

Full of what? Truly, the earth is full of rocks and minerals, elements and compounds. But as he stood in front of his romantically-minded daughter, he knew that wouldn't fly.

Legions of teenagers
Writing crappy poetry
Thinking they're gods
Invincible
Or at least geniuses
Worthy of the highest literary praise
For thier insipid heartaches
Penned from the depths
Of their tiny
Self-obsessed hearts
Or the core
Of their emo-black
Eyeliner-and-nailpolish-covered
Souls
But you and I
We know the truth
We smile and nod
Biting cheeks or tongues to ( Read more... )

The books were just sitting there - a huge pile at the end of someone’s walkway. We were walking along, talking and just taking in the warm August night, and there they were. Come to think of it, we probably wouldn’t have done it if it hadn’t been dark, but in the orangey, humming glow of the arc sodiums, it was irresistible. We must’ve spent a ( Read more... )
