Birds.
Persistent incessant obnoxious
Chirping!
Keeps me awake.
A mating ritual at two in the morning?
Sure.
"If you young things must,
So shall we. outside your window."
A reminder of love.
Silly ignorant lovebirds.
Sure love works without logic and reality
What's 2,000 miles to a lovebird?
Chirp away.
What does tomorrow hold for you?
Family and flight.
Ah! Me too.
Flight from family.
We really aren't all that different.

Ladeda.

I'm so antsy for change!
Always!
I can't even keep my bedroom furniture in the same place for over a month, it drives me nuts.
I'm totally out of re-arranging ideas, and spending every spare moment I should be studying planning projects for summer.
AHhhhh. no school. less stress....a job?
psh. it'll be full in no time.
So back to filling every last scrap of a notecard I can scrounge up around my apartment
(at least it's clean! i clean when i'm stressed....weird, i know).
And attempting to make sense of a Philosophy-course-on-crack.
Maybe Radiohead will enlighten me.
And then I can pray off the garbage I just let into my head. *cough* Hobbes. *cough* Freud.
That's all!

the island.

My mind. An island.
unapproachable.
unexplainable.
uncivilized.
It changes with the seasons,
and changes with the moons;
the tide rushes in
invigorates the shore with salty force
carrying foreign scents & foreign desire
but what's to grasp it? sand?
new deposits lie lonely upon the shore.
I want none of your nonsense.

Go along, temporal vessel, pass by.
Let your eyes reach the shores,
Let your imagination glimmer with hopes
of treasure left by another lost soul
entertain those musings, sure,
no soul left their memory here.
the vacancy within, filled by unrecognizable joy
is too dark for you to recognize.

the mind is the greatest vessel of escape from self.
