it's all verbage
speak softly, but carry a big stick

Bio:oh, martha, the ideal
the alpha and omega of woe that is me
taught to slave
to raise their massive pyramids

oh, mary, imagination
hast thou entered into the springs of the sea
safe from the desert,
where water is more plaguing

the floods destroyed your people, oh ideal
somehow we're all related to our deliverer



maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
--arthur miller





oh, anne, please don't come out yet
the world is still falling apart
stores close too early
phones lose reception
hallways are too dark
and the water's always freezing
batteries die
keys always lost
traffic's too dense
and they never have your size
oh, anne, please don't come out yet

though at least the people are good.



maybe i'll join your century, but only as a doubtful guest.
--dresden dolls





i'm not trying to be anything more
than what my skin allows
though i'll stretch it far
no rules to break
just fragility to bend
all for you, nature of humanity
you've been white-walled long enough
padded in your black box

my self-importance for your utopia
or maybe. not. individuality?

Today, I sat back and watched people. All day long. I observed lonely old men with canes, feeding pigeons in the park. I observed business men and women, looking busy with their cell phones and suitcases. I watched couples fighting. Stoners talking about their highs. Teachers lecturing. Parents yelling. The jocks. The goths. The plastics. And the random people, worrying about the random things like grass stains on white shoes and panty lines. I observed the rebels with their obvious concern to have a lack of concern. The little girls chasing after the musical ice cream truck. The Asian tourist trying to capture every moment on camera. The retired, elderly ladies who spend their days gardening and reading books. The homeless man that talked to himself.

I saw all of this, and I thought it was great. No matter how much I hated watching a couple tell each other how much they loved each other, or how much I hated seeing people stare at the retarded kid with the awkward hip... it was all great. I got to see everything that pisses me off, and everything that makes me happy. I saw everything that I don't pay attention to because I just don't care. And everything that I should be paying attention to. I saw everything.

And I wonder, if I could step out of body for a day and observe myself, how many things would I see that would piss me off? And how many things would I see that would make me happy? I wonder how many times I would look in the mirror. How many times I would fix my hair. How long I would sit in the sun. How much time would I spend with my friends? How many times would I lie to people? How many times would I lie to myself? How hypocritical would I get? How loving would I be? How hateful would I be?

And most of all, I wonder how much I would let myself down, and just how much I would amaze myself.




live and let live--sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble.
(although i promise to make it fun.)




it's so fucking beautiful.
