a coincidence of wants
a musing everyday
12.31.2010
the more time passes,
the more i pass time,
thinking about its lapse.
12.30.2010
you've cut me
to the ribbons
in your hair.
12.29.2010
i try to plan accordingly,
but things never seem to go
according to plan.
12.28.2010
the cold howled through my bones,
finding a home in the marrow,
the chill in my spine.
12.27.2010
the time for tension is long gone,
i've got to leave that all behind me.
i'm past tense.
12.26.2010
right now everything is beautiful.
after the snow settles,
they'll say it was a storm.
12.25.2010
'tis the season
for everyone to remember
why the family doesn't get together regularly.
12.24.2010
a rotted tickle-me-elmo
clawed outside scrooge's door.
it was the ghost of christmas presents past.
12.23.2010
the weatherman calls for thunderstorms,
but only the clouds hold the truth.
if it rains, we will dance wet.
12.22.2010
i liked the world better
when every problem's solution
was just a commercial break away.
12.21.2010
the woods had overrun the drive-in theater,
i couldn't see the forrest gump
through the trees.
12.20.2010
if it's a tragedy
but no one dies,
then it's a comedy, right?
12.19.2010
sometimes i feel like an idiot.
i didn't know growing up
meant i'd be a dolt.
12.18.2010
my mind, running away,
a thousand possibilities,
no
12.17.2010
i'd bang my head bloody
if it would get my thoughts out,
dripping onto paper, painful.
12.16.2010
a compliment uttered,
not willingly met
by rolling eyes.
12.15.2010
in my heart is the doors,
in yours is linkin park,
i guess that's why we're better off apart.
12.14.2010
i will scream until everyone hears
my vocal cords tearing at the seams,
a lost voice waiting to be found.
12.13.2010
some vows, once broken,
cannot be regained.
a shattered ring in want of soldering.
12.12.2010
head swirling cinnamon,
saccharine scents sending
my senses into submission.
12.11.2010
no words flowing freely,
stunned by the silence inflicted
by a look.
12.10.2010
i asked if we could talk about it,
you said the time for talk had passed.
better late, then never.
12.09.2010
out in the open, naked.
we, the consenting majority,
giving our lives to strangers.
12.08.2010
i squeezed as hard as i could
my hands turning white, then blue,
but the rock gave no water.
12.07.2010
our lives run parallel, perfect.
never getting any closer,
never intersecting.
12.06.2010
bending, winding, twisting,
matching bodies intertwined.
sin, you, us.
12.05.2010
you (locked
[compartments, separating rations
of emotions] away) and i.
12.04.2010
i keep getting thrown curveballs,
i need to changeup.
life keeps breaking my balls.
12.03.2010
i tried to ignore
the voices in my head,
but i couldn't in good conscience.
12.02.2010
i had a fist full of fool's gold and a grin full of teeth.
when i thought myself rich,
the truth of poverty evaded me.
12.01.2010
i don't suffer night terrors,
but i imagine if i did,
i'd still wake up alone.
