when we've been here ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun.

so, we have a new president. its a good thing. i like that people i know cared, feel relief and a have a new sense of pride. its good good. of course, all of the work really comes after you've made a decision to do something. so, i hope now that everyone has made their decision, they take the next step and start working.

i dont know what that means specifically. but i am pretty sure its true.

maybe you should ask yourself what can you do today to make the world a better place for someone else? once you come up with an answer. act on it. ask yourself the same question tomorrow.

the pressed white form fitting button up
taking space on the street
the posters and press clippings
the sun on the face

sleep talking
rolling over and over
hand on chest
shhhh
the sun is too loud
in the early am
its fucking shit up
reading tao lin poetry in your ear..
"Stabbed
by hooded black youth.
Shocked by the willingness of grade-schoolers
to kill me. And eat my heart. The things that do not happen to me
each day. I feel
like shit. My life
is good, fantastic. I am not deformed. Thank you."

even when i dont know why you had a bad day
i understand why you had a bad day

i am not ben lee in an indie comedy
you are not claire danes in a cameo
i think if that were the case
i would be from austrailia
standing on the hood of a car
on main street in burlington
vermont singing you a song
while you drank coffee
in new york city wearing
fancy clothes and expensive shoes.

this is going no where
i dont mind the fancy ride
in circles
with company.
