when lot's wife looked back,

she was turned into a pillar.

only then, was she worth her salt.

1.30.2011

the internet is an interesting intersection

of introversion and interpersonal interaction

integral to intrepid introspection !?

1.29.2011

if i was a superhero,

i'd be superfluousman!

protecting those who are already protected.

1.28.2011

this is the first time

i've posted a haiku here.

oh, wait, i did it wrong.

1.27.2011

1.26.2011

still i travel,

with that albatross roped neck side,

coping with hope broken open, showing strep signs.

1.25.2011

your heartbeat,

a rapid, heavy, thump,

echoing in my head.

1.24.2011

feelings are simply thoughts

that don't make it to the brain.

so, they decided to fuck with your heart.

1.23.2011

sometimes, i put too much of myself

into things that aren't helpful,

and that's why my foot is stuck in this bear trap.

1.22.2011

i've invented a contraption

that creates perpetual energy through motion.

i call it: 'life'

1.21.2011

obla dee obla da

and a couple of na's.

life has way of tumbling on.

1.20.2011

i saw beelzebub at the gym.

he was fatted and sweaty.

he hadn't been exorcised in a while.

1.19.2011

'you can't always get what you want'

unless you want to get

what you don't want, or something.

1.18.2011

i ran away as fast as i could,

but when the chain-saw maniac fell,

i helped him up. he cut me in half.

1.17.2011

when i look in the mirror, i still see myself,

and that's saying something:

'well, the invisibility potion didn't work'

1.16.2011

i'm not sure where i'm going,

but i know where i've been,

and i'll be damned if i'm going back again.

1.15.2011

and then it hits me,

that suffocating future

pressing me against the wall.

1.13.2011

'my life got flipped-turned upside down',

but there was no mansion for me to run to.

no butler, no quirky cousin, no kingdom.

1.12.2011

uncertainty ahead.

the fog so thick,

it chokes like smoke.

1.11.2011

i made a bet with the devil

and he beat me outright,

but i still don't know his terms.

1.10.2011

we took a drive into the night,

with silence on the radio.

we had no place to go.

1.09.2011

every bad feeling

falling indefinitely

in the pit of my stomach

1.08.2011

when i saw how much beauty

could be inside such a small frame,

it changed the size of my frame of mind.

1.07.2011

he hid from me, pretending to read a new york times.

i didn't know people still read newspapers.

i guess, he was just behind the times.

1.06.2011

everything you say kills me.

when you live by the words,

you die by the words.

1.05.2011

2, 4, 6, and 8

are numbers that seem so lifeless,

dead, even.

1.04.2011

there's no place like home,

there's no place like home,

but home is no place.

1.03.2011

to get the attention of an older girl at school,

i would fall off the slide and pretend to be hurt.

to this day, she fails to notice.

1.02.2011

my head swimming in jello,

everything muddled and disoriented.

where's bill cosby when you need him?

1.01.2011

millions of people watched

2011 finally go through puberty.

the ball dropped.
