Change is a funny thing
Sometimes it comes so fast
Nobody can keep up
...
You with whom it's hard to find a good memory
untarnished by your poorly masked envy
a pure memory with you, exists purely in my imagination

staring at a dry-erase board
and I realize there are no dry erases in life
in fact they're usually sopping wet with tears
a clean cut too does not exist

at my college's open air catholic altar.

and libraries are magical
perhaps the last drops
of magic that can be touched
...
I am from the land of sweeping magnolia trees
Wherein a sweet lemony scent coats the air
In early summer, the trees are polka-dotted
With grandiose white flower buds
...
If only
I knew how to give
just enough of myself to you
our friendship would never end

The banquet had ended about 30 minutes ago
when she turned to me and said,
'you ready to go? '

the morning sky
was dreary and gray

I woke up one morning, and I found
the world was full of addicts all around:
narcotic users
coffee drinkers
