  • Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

    We never did too much talking anyway.
    You understood Now's power.
    I used it myself but didn't understand
    well enough to put it into words.
    I watched for clues from outside,
    watched people cast shadows for themselves.
    Gloom and doom consumed them.
    And I thought that was right.

    I watched them and did not watch myself.
    I hurried the mind of you instead of watching where it was.
    I saw it only in your breath, when you slept beside me.
    And when you woke I was silent, tranquil,
    felt almost vacant at the consuming comfort.
    I pushed.
    There was nothing there.
        I trembled.

    And that's why there is no small talk now,
    just music,
    foggy memory pierced with drops of crystal precision,
    and the pull of our Being.

    ryc- No really - I want to eat all 18 burgers and shred up my arteries and everything LOL.  I'm just revenous right now fantasizing about food at the office heheh. I ate my sandwich that I packed last night for breakfast instead of lunch like I planned. I was just too hungry after the workout this morning.  I'm going to have to wait till my brain is more clear before I can make an intelligent comment about your poem. I'm kind of in "duh" "starving" mode right now lol.

    RYC:  I never knew you hated the Broncos so bad, though I guess that comes with Cleveland fanhood.  I felt bad for the Raiders kicker, Sebastian Janikowski.  My last two fantasy FB teams had him on there.  You have to love a place kicker who gets into trouble with the law. 

    As for the recent entry, well, poetry is my wife's department.  You've seen my versions of poetry, it's not pretty.

    ryc: I really really really want pizza - been craving for days!  What I did have was 1c of pasta, ground turkey, zuccini, carrots, broccoli, snap peas in a sauce of olive oil, rosemary, savory, & a splash of lemon. For dessert 1 good humor strawberry shortcake icecream bar.  To drink was cold water.

    RYC: As far as the links go I was more specifically talking about how you can set a link where it says something simple "Click here" (underlined and blue) and when you click on it takes you to the page.  Like you have done with links to various articles.  Or maybe your instructions listed that clearly and I just really suck at this.

    Mmmmm... I like this. It's sad, but really, I like sad things. We all know that. To me, it's sad in a longing sort of way. A longing for something beyond what you have, but it's only a vague longing, not something you put a lot of energy into. My two favorite lines are "I watched for clues from the outside/watched people cast shadows for themselves." I feel like I'm both watching people cast shadows and casting them myself sometimes. That's how I take it!
    Lovely!

    Oh! I forgot! I wanted to say that I'm listening to the cd of music that you made Andrew for his b-day a couple years ago! I really like the cd and I've been thinking about putting some of the stuff on some cd's for Andrew's dad for his b-day! Right now, Roulette is on! MMM! I love it!
