The distance between the A and point B
the earth and the sky
the shore and the sea
are the steps that we take,equations we make,the sum exponential,the potential we're gifted to lift up our eyes,to gladden our hearts,make the most of new starts,to kiss and behold
to love and be told that we're more than the one,melting then gone and in two I see me,closing the distance between point A and the B and the best thing of all is that this is all free,
There is no hidden agenda,she gives me her body and soul,I give her my whole,one more tangent,one sine and the waves realign,I am hers she is mine and once these mathematics are done,we get to the fun of learning the talk and doing the walk and the chalk makes its line across and beyond the beginning of time.

I want to run away with you,
Away in that big box of blue.
And hear the question, "Doctor who?"
"I'm afraid we're just passing through."

The devil does not come
draped in a red cape, or
flaunting pointy horns.
He comes as everything
you've always wished for.

Twisted satisfaction,
unfulfilled promises,
he leaves you wanting more.
Constantly searching,
endlessly seeking.

E m p t i n e s s .

Your lips speak of death
while your soul asks to be rescued
from the torment
of seeing everyone else breathing
while the rising waters hinders you from reaching.

You ask the world,
and they do not listen.
You ask God,
and you find outstretched hands.

Heard sirens

Saw lights

Another body for California St.

Another day in Stockton.

Wait

I know him.

Them too

Hey, who died?

Tagging in the street

R.I.P T.M.F.B

Wait

...That's me...

No, it can't be
I just came from down the street
from the burrito truck
I had to get something to eat.
No onions . mild sauce, carne asada
Don't forget the limes, $4.25? sweet
I turned around and hit the beat
Just grey sweaters, blue jeans
and vans, not sneaks.
Occasionally tye-dye
if I'm feeling unique.
greeting this day I say
this is pretty neat
The train went by and bird are going
tweet tweet
This sauce is still hot but my sweater
keeps off the 84 degree heat
cause i'm sweating and cooling
These shoes look cool against the concrete
Hearing music slapping
I think it's E-40
Smoke rolling from the windows
An arm reaches out the backseat
**BANG

If you do you may know
just how vulnerable I am...

I said, DON'T READ THIS!!!

If you do, you may not understand.
I don't want you to know that
I really do care what you think...

Are you REALLY READING THIS?!!!

Maybe you can see how lonely I am.
That I do want you to like me,
even if only a little...

Are you still reading...???

There's a lot I could tell you about
myself. I think that you would
rather like me, given half a chance...

I'm a one-man woman who loves people,
children, animals and nature.

I'm totally right-hemisphere dominant,
I love the arts.

I believe in God, but I'm not pushy about it.
I love all people, including homosexuals.
I don't judge. ANYONE.

I LOVE THE UNLOVABLE....
... I'VE BEEN THERE.

My real name is Catherine.
But I'm a SURVIVOR. And I have
a lot of HEART.
