They're starving down in Africa,
but I guess who gives a ****
as long my ***** has gold flakes in it
and the new iPhone comes in five different colors.

Darling,
how I miss you
and how I wish
you weren't 1000
miles away,
but at least the stars are out tonight.

Thinking about you and me
dusting off books from the 20th century.
Where are we now?
Where are we going?
I seem to remember a lot of people
but only when I really think about them:
every friend ,
every lover,
I've ever had.
And how awful of me
to not think about all of these people
that I have lost,
everyday.
Is it my fault
or am I just human?

Spent an hour
in the book store
reading all the poetry
unable to
make a
decision.

She was wrapped
in black,
her face accentuated-
the rosy pink
daintily painted
across her face.
Her movement-
deliberate  
and graceful
as though she was
slipping through time.

And for the first time
in my life,
beauty
had made me
stop dead in my tracks.

I can't write poetry.
