Ode to Those I Want to Hate Car doors slam too early on a Sunday morning, and the air Is soon pulsating with the over pumping of subwoofers-- Lined, bright thousand-dollar hot sound system playing rap at 3am for some half drunk white guy's smooth exit from a party. Girls push by on the subway, clotted lipstick lips sucking on Jamba Juice beneath oversized, overpriced shades. They're fluffing up Their North Face fleece or their goose stuffed white coats with fake fur hoods, Their Ugh boots and jackets setting off the harsh orange tones of their Tanned winter skin. They wear their plastic earrings and they care for nothing other than their own selves, their friends' latest drunk party kiss, and All the rights their money buys them--hot boys, sex, and getting smashed. Cocky bastards mocking those who make their way to the libraries on the weekends, Tease those who seek tutors, insult those who study and refrain from partying. They Buy pot over their expensive cell phones in the hallways of noisy stinking dorms, And they have no idea what it means to be a student. They rape our little world of knowledge and the exquisite work of the intellectual They rape the idea of meaningful work, the thought of earning one's way, They with their parents' credit cards working too hard for their books and tuition. Occasionally one of them will pause for a moment, her pretty hair in a pony tail, his baseball cap on half twisted sideways, to observe the azure color of the warming lake, The green expanse of the hill, the way the trees sway in the wind of the coming summer. After a moment they will shake themselves, look hurriedly away, run after their friends, make a crude joke, As if afraid to be found staring at something outside of themselves. Labels: A Poem A Day |

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |
