Excuses

I think it's obvious
I'm lost
I'm hopeless

I think it's clear
I'm "open"
I'm insincere

I think it's ridiculous
I'm broken
You're an incubus

I think it's serious
I was wise
Now I'm delirious

I know it's stupid
I'm used up
Like my excuses

freedom can be bare feet
or naked
or laughter
freedom can be poetry

I understand they find dinosaur bones there in your backyard. Big ones. I've never been to your house or even close to that neighborhood, but ever since you've written me, I am completely intrigued. What you said about me, I think about you in an execrable Hemingway way, maybe as in his "Death In The Afternoon." All the goring. Faintheartedness is nothing to be carried by bullfighters or by bone hunters, I suppose. If there were a way of going back to days of nobler more romanticized slaughtering in bullrings, without the controversy, I'd have to say it is more evident in our modern day Jurassic Park flicks where nerdish paleontologists are transformed into  fiendishly handsome toreadors.

I know I'm not making much sense. Bullfights and dinosaur rustling, what's to compare? One being non-civilized though colorful and bathetic, the other fantastical but forgivable because the beasts bite back. Oh, if only I could explain these machismo machinations. What a ruse. How song and dance does intrigue. Please write me again from South Dakota. I'd like to book one of those dusty dinosaur tours before I go extinct.  Bone hunts, bullfights, same difference.
This was probably way too precocious. Oh well.

i wish people still wrote letters,

i wish we still penned down our thoughts,
so that your tear stains could guide me to your heart
and the coffee or wine stains to those sleepless nights

so that the scent of the sheet could tell me
what perfume was your new favourite
and your lazy handwriting showed how tired you were

theres so much more of you on paper,
and theres so much of you i miss.
the monthly mail. (message me, i want to make friends)
Reap what you sow

Sow my lips together,
For I have no food.

Sow my lips together,
For there's no water around.

Sow together my lips,
For I have ran out of things to say,

Sow my lips together,
They never listened anyway.
There is nothing left;
a voice without an echo.
Thanks to those who've read.
Just hopelessly out of touch.
