freeze/burn

Penguin lost my song in the breeze. Lost to some other melodies.

what i hate the most

is the falling asleep. what i hate the second most is the waking up. shut up/shut down but if that's the worst, it's not so bad. i can make molehills out of mountains and i can write like judy blume.

sit tight

choices will lead to choices that you cannot anticipate so sit tight sit calm strangle your sight with the light of a dim, distant star. sit tight. sit calm. there's no way to anticipate where any of it goes.

stick wants stuck

Is it spring yet and is there life growing somewhere? Is all that buried potential brave enough to reach. up. out. winter brings lazy and a certain ennui. hibernation, and i suppose that is part of a cycle. but my eyes are strained from big picture attempts. focus is lacking. perspective is limited to this little moment where restless sleep and spiking emotions make me tired of the reaching. tired of exploration. i pull my empty hand back to myself. what i touch doesn't follow me back. what i reach for doesn't seem to see a home in me. achy for something known and constant to curl up around. nothing is, though. nothing is. stuck wants stick and vice versa.

blah

even when there are weeks and weeks of nothing new and winter brings blue, i am in the habit of living and so i do.

(in the dream we were curled up in that room. we were preparing for a storm. (there is a storm, there is really a storm out there.) even in the dream i could tell that his skin was not yours. (loosehardlyanypressurecaughtoffguard,but still i knew) even in the dream i knew). i would take a day off, but i have no idea what i'd do with myself all day. curse. america better hurry the curse up and it'd better be recognizable. it'd better ...

here we are

So here we are, trying to make meaning out of particles. But what else is there to do?
