Are all footy fanatics Total raving lunatics? The flag's in the bag! We've got lively lads The best we've ever had! Peter Pans on *** The flags that time forgot! Footy finals fever, Talk about dream weavers! Footy finals phobia, TV claustrophobia, Why didn't we win, Any old excuse again! Footy fanatics, Raving lunatics, Footy finals fever, Melbourne's dream weavers!

ODE TO THE AFL! (Unique whimsy of Melbourne, Australia.)
These golden sunglasses Appeared on my doorstep The last day of The spring semester, Sitting in a plastic pumpkin. They weren’t mine But when they break I get them fixed And when they don’t sit straight I keep them Because they remind me Of how finals were over And I slept through so many goodbyes. The night before We lay in your room Sounds flowing through us like Waves in the ocean, Then moved to the grass outside Watching more shooting stars than I could count. The wood by the dorms was dark And we ventured in in fits and starts, The shadows of authority figures Dancing around us. The gazebo was silent. And we journeyed across campus, A pilgrimage through abandoned constructions To see the church alight in the dark, But the power was out and it was nothing. I woke up in the afternoon And knew that spring wouldn’t be back For us. The sunglasses weren’t mine But someone left them at my door And I keep them.

Beltane
It’s the Stanley Cup Finals, The Penguins are doing well So I’m a hockey widow but on this I don’t dwell My man is as tense and excited as a first time Dad So they better kick *** or he’ll really be mad If they lose in game seven, I’ll get my husband back To make him feel better I’ll get nasty in the Sack

Finals
Some chemical influences are necessary. Experimentation is mandatory. Skim the syllabus and you will see, MDMA is chapter three. Hemp is the strongest **** At least that's what I learned in Botany. Biology came as quite a shock, When the plants pulled out their ***** English came as such a breeze, The Diazepam brought poetry bees. They pollinated the dopamine receptor, Which greatly impressed my psychology professor.   When the zombies rose for dead weeks droll, Adderall and Vyvanse kept us cool. There's always a place in the Union Bathroom stall To do a dome some Coke before study hall. Of all the girls in my dorm floor Roxy and Molly were just next door. Art history wasn't the most entertaining, Until Absinth was my painting water. Finals were such a stress, so I'll admit We laced our gin shots with Xanex.   College was an experience, I'll admit, But Chemistry got me on the DEAn'S list.

Chemistry 1013
Twas the night before finals And all through the dorms Not a student was sleeping Not even a nerd Everyone sat with their books And their coffee Cramming until they Thought they would burst When 4AM struck A sigh could be heard As finally the students Put down their heads For at this point in time Not a **** did they give For an A or an F It didn’t matter Unemployment was inevitable And sleep was a given.

Finals
In a hammock On the eve of final exams There is a scent of caffeine coursed bodies pacing the distances of Starbucks and the library, an unusual sight at eleven at night There is peace In the fraternity- I think begins with a Sigma- running around playing a vicious thirty person game of tag Yeah, I witnessed that wipeout and it was hilarious There is heat condensed around the height of brains Struggling to realize dreams that require Busy work man! It's just like six hours of nonstop busy work The guy on the bench behind me whined out cooling breath of brown leaves There is energy in the fractal jungle above The towering umbrellas of Palm trees which grant me the magic of hovering I see through waving leaves Orion's Belt. The light pollution overpowers his body but he reminds me that there is more in the astral world Ibis scour the ground Some would read the tea leaves that bravest of birds has crossed my path And I will survive the tests that I allow to define possibilities in life There is closure to my left Two girls in a hammock, bodies combined like a turtle in a shell Only they know what goes on inside, and all I witness is the harmony that the trials that students go through that unites

In a Hammock (In Honor of Finals)
Far be it from me ~ to say that LEAD BALLOONS don't float ! For example, how thick is the lead, how big is the Balloon, is it filled with Helium, is it to be floated on earth , or perhaps the moon, with much less gravity and,,what about aboard a space craft ? SO, just like I said, I can;t say LEAD BALLOONS don't float. Could it be said, that Man's feelings are like LEAD BALLOONS? How Thick or Thin skinned are they, how big and attractive are the temptations? Who and what are the Tempters, that will draw our attention away from truths , carried aloft by LEAD BALLOONS. In any of these cases I ask ...." IS THERE A TETHER ATTACHED"? SO,,,, for the floating portion of the test !! Prepare as follows: Snorkels, Diving Suits, Flippers, Masks and Weighted Belts. Just the things we need for Proper Diving { just in case}. Fully suited Swan Dives may not seem in place at the Olympics, BUT at these Major Finals,,A fully suited person is REQUIRED. Double pike with a Full Twist help in escaping "THAT HUGE SUCTION SOUND". And of course the Perfect Bathing Cap, to keep hair out of FACE. There is Something about having a situation "RIGHT IN YOUR FACE" .

** " LEADED BALLOONS " ** (# 63 )
The things we say to one another: we could choose to make them mean something. I could tell you that I love you, even though we've never really met. You could tell me that you're dying and it scares you. We could talk about the rise and fall of injection-moulded empires, the rise and fall of your mother's chest, as she took her last breath. We could vow to behead tyrants together. We could promise that we'd never fall victim to that same sickness. We could compare our hurts and find a connection in our mutual pain. We could try to share our loneliness, and maybe the world would be less lonely. Or at least we could speak, like you're a person and I'm a person, like we're both made of the same beautiful, doomed matter, only separated by social convention and accidental skin; we could say something worth saying. Instead: plastic bag tax, The Match, weight loss and where to buy the best factory-seconds shoes, the televised finals of something or other, the rising cost of corned beef, the obligatory conversation piece about the weather. Can't we talk just a little bit bigger than this?

Talking Small
~ *i have never particularly cared for him or for his style of play.  there is a fine line between knowledge of one’s talents and arrogance and i have always thought Kobe walked on the downhill side of that line, when doing so was unnecessary.  of course it did not help that a Lakers / Blazers rivalry cost the Blazers at least one NBA Finals berth… most of us are, after all, most likely to gravitate toward our hometown team.   but on seeing this post from Kobe in the Player’s Tribune, i found that i simply must acknowledge the classiness of his retirement penning... instead of a letter, the guy writes a poem.  how can i not embrace this?* ~ BY KOBE BRYANT LOS ANGELES LAKERS Dear Basketball, From the moment I started rolling my dad’s tube socks And shooting imaginary Game-winning shots In the Great Western Forum I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you. A love so deep I gave you my all — From my mind & body To my spirit & soul. As a six-year-old boy Deeply in love with you I never saw the end of the tunnel. I only saw myself Running out of one. And so I ran. I ran up and down every court After every loose ball for you. You asked for my hustle I gave you my heart Because it came with so much more. I played through the sweat and hurt Not because challenge called me But because YOU called me. I did everything for YOU Because that’s what you do When someone makes you feel as Alive as you’ve made me feel. You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream And I’ll always love you for it. But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer. This season is all I have left to give. My heart can take the pounding My mind can handle the grind But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye. And that’s OK. I’m ready to let you go. I want you to know now So we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad. We have given each other All that we have. And we both know, no matter what I do next I’ll always be that kid With the rolled up socks Garbage can in the corner :05 seconds on the clock Ball in my hands. 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 Love you always, Kobe

Finals Week
I pierced my septum with a magic bullet. Is Texas really the reason the president’s dead? I’d give anything for a scotch despite never having had one. I loaded my gun with Pall Malls and shot my brother dead in the woods. That son of a ***** is the Able to my Cain, the scissors to my paper. Pap has no son. **** Huckleberry, lying piece of **** I scratched my *** with steel wool. I drew blood, (in pencil haw haw) I’m tired, despite being well-rested. I ****** everyone in Gomorrah over spring break. Add salt to my pillar. And you say I’m ******* immature. Get loaded in Bozeman. I hate that you hate me. The KKK wasn’t this spiteful. Dying on a burning cross, I confess my sins to Richard Dreyfuss and ********* on Judas. He wipes it off with the Shroud of Turin but the streak is still there. I sold my brand and licensing rights for thirty pieces of silver. I ******* came on Judas. I never did anything to you that you didn’t do to me. My dad is bigger than yours. I’d abort myself just to get a reaction. I’m going to hell, but at least I’ll finally eat at the cool kids’ table. I’m done fighting with people I don’t speak to. So how about you just hit me, you just ******* hit me. I’ll launch into whatever the **** I want. I’ll ******* SOAR, like a ********* 747, I’ll **** birds into my engines and spray their guts wherever I please, because I’m finally done being manipulated. **** I don’t think I even started.

The tags say, "Dry Clean Only" but I didn't have time before I left. So now my favorite purple sweater, the one with the elbow patches, smells like you and filet mignon. Rewind. July: "Congratulations, it's a match!" Reads my tinder notification. Little did I know, I'd actually like you. Little did I know you'd say you wanted something. August: I got your number, we planned on meeting up. Our plans fell through, but we continued to talk and flirt anyways. September: I left for school, as did you. Hundreds of miles away, you could tell there was something wrong through a text message. You were there for me, everything I needed, you were it. You told me you didn't just want someone to **** you wanted someone to love. October & November: The texts dwindled down to barely any. All I wanted was for you to respond, or finally text me first. We planned on meeting up for thanksgiving, you ignored me. December: Finals week approaches and I finally hear from you again. You want to meet up for real this time. We say, let's meet over break. January: You text me, four nights before I'm leaving again. Tomorrow? You ask me, I obviously say of course. Terrified, I think you're going to stand me up, but when you finally walk into the Starbucks, my heart drops. This is actually happening. You come back to my place, this and that happens. You leave. But what I didn't think is that we'd be back at square one. Ignoring my texts, yet snapchatting me and liking my moments. Now: I run to rid you from my mind. But yet you appear so vividly and I can hear your voice saying, "are you gonna come and get it?" Just like you said that day. So I never had the time to dry clean my favorite sweater, so it still smells of your cologne and filet mignon.

I can still remember. That burning feeling of inspiration, bubbling up through my body. It dominated me, defined me, led me to believe that I was my own hero. A protagonist on a quest, a road to travel on, certainty in my bones. Driven by love through the narration of my world, my story. Words overflowed from my heart. Staining the tracks, pages, and lilies of my life with my fire. Every heartbeat resounded like the clanging of a tower's bells. Each ring dictating time, order, purpose, place. I can still remember. The lingering taste of coffee on my tongue, my face sore from smiling. Hours spent talking and listening. The content of my life summarized like chapters of a book. The way my heart vaulted when your eyes met mine. It was like the moon pulling at the tides. Giving the waves motion and momentum. So I spilled my ink and blood, writing you into the story. I can still remember. What it was like when it was over. I hadn't realized I had been living in a cell. Scrawling my visions of the world onto every inch of those four walls. Diagrams and diatribes, the things I considered to be myself. Going mad in the most wonderful fashion. As I left I saw them for what they were. Mosaics and memorials. Poison and poetry. The passionate magic of first and finals, the ****** taste of loss. But **** it was beautiful all the same. I can still remember. What it felt like to move on. The taste of freedom and fresh air, an urge to defy what was. And become something more again. But suddenly, the bleeding in my heart slowed. The resounding clangs of my inner bells softly faded. It took years, But one day I reached inside myself Expecting to feel the fire burning inside me. I can still remember. The dread that came with the lack of heat. The soul of myself, the definition of me as the hero. Was only embers now. The easy numbness that washed over me. The determination and inspiration that was me had left. I was broken, as I always was. But I no longer knew myself as beautiful. I was not a protagonist. I had written myself out of my own story, slowly but surely. There was no quest, no journey, no one to save or be saved by. Just whatever I have become. I hope one day to remember. My clumsy and earnest return to form. When my heart again bled ink and crackled with flame.

As I was sitting at my desk studying for finals, I heard in the distance the sound of a Clown's Horn? "honk-honk" the sound grew louder and closer "honk-honk" Fairly certain the Circus had not come to my Apt. complex, Bested by my curiosity as it continually increased My need to discover the horn's origin became the priority over my studies. My focus shifted from the page in front of me holding all the answers, To the outside world were the answers where yet to be discovered... Breaking free of my "Study Shackles" A new goal to precedence over all obstacles, Mind now on a single track, The spirit of pioneer steers my intentions, Set forth from my dwelling, into that vast universe of possibility's That simpletons refer to as the parking lot. Honk-Honk the sound hit my ears like a search beacon would register on radar, How far past my car or 100 cars who cares What was this I continued to ponder in the recesses of mind that was playing like it was recess Placing a collect call to myself I called my other senses to man their positions. Sight-CHECK! but nothing was seen, Touch-CHECK! but my feet and the ground was the only contact being made. Smell-CHECK! But nothing, wait hold for confirmation.... Could it be... ELOTE!?!   Corn on the cob... on the stick!! Mexican style elote!! I had not enjoyed, "G-lote or Getto Elote" since San Jose Since the last time I spent time with cousin Chip Then just as I turned the corner the beacon sounded once more "Honk-Honk" ELOTE....! and it was only $1.50 Perfect! Proceeded to purchase two, one for me and one for you, My cousin my brother... Devouring mine with you in mind, Took a single breath took stock of what was left, Thought, "If I wait for Chip to come eat his it will get cold before he arrives, and who wants to eat cold elote? Not my Cousin Chip, He's a Gracia We are just better then that. So I did what I believe you would have done for me if you where to find yourself in the same predicament, I ate it nice and slow. Thinking about how grateful I am to call you my family, my cousin, my friend, my brother, I made sure that I enjoyed every bite, In that for a moment no matter how brief it actually was we where together again, In my minds eye laughing, joking, enjoying elote together.... I love you and I miss you cousin, You are always in my prayers and in my heart. If only Australia were not so far away...

Ex's I am a part of all of them even the ones I hate. Maybe especially the ones I hate. They are transferred paint after the fender ****** at the unfortunate intersection of fate and bad timing. Not enough damage to make a difference. Not even enough impression that you care to be bothered changing your schedule to repair it. But every time you leave the house, and on every lap around the chariot, you see a trespassing color screaming of either their bad decision.........or yours. Sometimes it seems there are more accidents than pleasant Sunday drives. I suppose most encounters must be accidents until we find the uncluttered road to our destiny. L.E. was life shift and napkins. I didn't even know I needed napkins when I had paper towels in the house. I Jones for napkins these days. D.B. was college and fashion. Shiny shoes moved her to the soul of my feet. Now Kiwi polish smells like foreplay to me. N.R. was forbidden and my piano teacher. I hated practice, she loved to kiss The oral exam was one of my best finals. I like tests more than most people today. J.T. was a cougar and Tchaikovsky connoisseur. Maturity was uncovered, along with adult lessons about carpet knap and fireplaces. I am Pavlov's dog in the strings of Symphony #6. L.J. was adventure and abandon. She is a grassy carpet over a live train tunnel in a memory I should regret, but don't. She is the crossbeam in my permanent smile. I am an estrogen inspired creation finding purpose in soft fleshy motivation. I am who I am because of their compunctions and compulsions. They scraped off on me in the kamikaze journey to fight loneliness. But in the dive I learned - grace is humbling when you don't deserve it, toilet paper has a perfect delivery direction, I get the right side of the bed, you shouldn't say anything you don't want to hear again, it's my job to take out the trash, shutting your mouth sooner than you think is almost always the better choice, you can never have enough closet space, and some experiences are so good that you should never try to repeat them again. She may be gone forever. And we may not be able to have a decent conversation for the rest of our lives. But God knows I'll always have napkins.

As excited as I am about the end of the semester and Christmas approaching, the bitter cold this week has almost frozen me. Don’t get me wrong, winter is a great time for fashion, but the cold weather is not for me. I would prefer to stay inside with a huge glass of hot chocolate. Aside from cocoa, he secret to staying warm is to dress in layers. I’ve tried to do that with this outfit but I’ve failed a bit. The majority of this outfit comes from The Yellow Rose, which is a locally owned boutique in my home town. The blanket scarf and shirt are both from the Rose. These boots are from Maurices, but could be swapped for converse or duck boots. The coat is from Aeropostale. It’s safe to say that I have fallen in love with the blanket scarf. Not only are they adorable, but they also provide ample warmth. They can be worn with nearly anything, including this great shirt. This shirt has a tassel tie underneath the scarf which means it could be worn on it’s own, if you aren’t as big a fan of the blanket scarf. This jacket is a life-saver to say the least. The reason it works with this outfit so well is because the green in the scarf is the same green on the jacket. Army green goes with just about anything. The sleeves are a sweater material which makes them warmer than normal. You could dress this up a bit which a nice trench coat or long cardigan. You could also change the boots out for black booties or flats. This outfit is perfect for Christmas parties or Christmas dinners. It has all the traditional Christmas colors and it will keep you warm. However isn’t only for Christmas. You can easily wear this at any time during the winter. Hopefully this has given you a bit of holiday wardrobe inspiration. I know holidays can be a stressful time for some, but the outfit you wear should be one thing you don’t have to stress about. Stay warm and stay comfortable. I hope your break is wonderful and filled with joy. I know we all need that after those finals. I’m sure we’re all ready for present, family time, and much needed sleep. Spread Christmas cheer this year and enjoy the time off. May your Christmas be merry and bright, and don’t forget the Christ in Christmas! He is the only eternal Gift that keeps on giving.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-brisbane | www.marieaustralia.com/vintage-formal-dresses

Holiday Fashion
As excited as I am about the end of the semester and Christmas approaching, the bitter cold this week has almost frozen me. Don’t get me wrong, winter is a great time for fashion, but the cold weather is not for me. I would prefer to stay inside with a huge glass of hot chocolate. Aside from cocoa, he secret to staying warm is to dress in layers. I’ve tried to do that with this outfit but I’ve failed a bit. The majority of this outfit comes from The Yellow Rose, which is a locally owned boutique in my home town. The blanket scarf and shirt are both from the Rose. These boots are from Maurices, but could be swapped for converse or duck boots. The coat is from Aeropostale. It’s safe to say that I have fallen in love with the blanket scarf. Not only are they adorable, but they also provide ample warmth. They can be worn with nearly anything, including this great shirt. This shirt has a tassel tie underneath the scarf which means it could be worn on it’s own, if you aren’t as big a fan of the blanket scarf. This jacket is a life-saver to say the least.

It's okay to leave your makeup on overnight sometimes, Especially when you stumble through your front door at 3 am after forgetting to kiss the man who took you out goodbye It's okay to wear the same pants two days in a row, Especially after you've taken 4 finals, written 6 essays, and did a 13 page paper about the KKK. It's okay to have a crush on the boy everyone else thinks is wierd, Especially when he likes you back and your love makes him want to be a successful person for you when you grow up together It's okay to cry, Especially when your father disappeared just after avoiding a diabetic coma, do not let your mother tell you it's not. It's okay to think you're pretty, Especially if the other girls say you aren't (You are stunning) Its okay to feel weak, Especially when you're burdened with the weight of what feels like the world. It's okay to let him tell you be loves you, Especially when he means it It's okay to LOVE YOURSELF, Especially when you feel worthless. It is okay, When you think it isn't, read this poem, Everything is okay, You have to believe it will be okay, Especially when it isn't

It's okay
In the light of the new morning, He opens his eyes, The Devil gets his warning, And the heavens start to cry. She utters a quick prayer                 To always keep him safe The Devil weeps in despair, And a smile warps his face. He was always quiet, He was always kind, At a young age the Devil tried to find, But his mother’s prayer always declined. One day she began to cough red, The same day she breathed, And the same breath she bled. He clenched her on the bed, She said her finals words and fled The heavens began to dread, The day the Devil would enter his head. She looks beautiful walking down the aisle, He greets her on the stand with a smile, The priest begins the trial, On Sunday the heavens sleep a while, The Devil creeps out of denial. She watches her son from above, A tear rolls down her cheek, She hears the Devil speak, She tries to warn him, But the heavens silence her screech. The clock ticks, He looks into its eyes, His heart stops, And the heavens start to cry. He kisses her on the lips,         He cries his tears of wine,   The Devil feels fine, Such an act must be sign. He runs his fingers across the blade, He looks into its eyes He remembers his mother’s prayer And his conscience begins to cry, The tears of heaven begin to dry, Like cancer it spreads across his mind, While he begs the Devil to make him blind. He looks all around, His mind is deranged, The Devil knew this was bound, The heavens start to change. He looks down at what could have been He looks down at his biggest sin The Devil only laughs, While his world no longer spins She comes home and it feels colder inside, The man she loved has died, And the Devil has taken his side. She sees herself in the pool of red, She sees it motionless on the bed, She screams her scream of silent pain, As the Devil slowly opens her vein The wind is swooshing outside,   His heart is the Devil and his conscience is the Eye, He gets up, weak with age, The Devil cries his tears of sage. His life is slipping away, He goes and lies down in his grave, He covers himself in his own pain, The heavens begin to obey, All in all, in the Devil’s cave.

Cricket fever gripped the sub-continent Pakistan could not wipe out the sentiment Against India it lost her match for the fifth time Even though Tendulkar was not at his prime This world cup turned out to be all Asian game The English have slowly lost their cricketing fame There will be a fight between the tiger and the lion Who knows who will surely win Sachin achieved every thing except the world cup I hope he will get it without any hiccup India and Srilanka reached finals thrice If India wins the cup I feel very nice

THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE TIGER AND THE LION?
I believe in myths. Every naturel blonde was first someone else.  By that I mean, she was known as Norma Jean, maybe Katy, in high school (see reincarnation below). My teenage glory days, when I was the king of cool, will revisit when I am 75 years old, the man-in-demand (wink), wearing his lucky wide cord corduroys and letting my man-bun, all the way down, at the prom in the senior citizen home, getting lucky, say once a month... God, yup, after all, ***** cometh to me regular-like, when he needs a poet~father to take his confession, and pays me most excellently for refusing him forgiveness, with the most excellent poem suggestions or lesser valuable things. Love at first sight, of course, happens to me all the time, twenty, thirty times when I am walking home.  I tell ya, it's exhausting, the stress of living in the big city Not only will I win the lottery someday, will take down both,  Powerball and MegaMillions, in the very same week the odds for which there ain't enough zeroes in HP's servers. (See God, above). Reincarnation. One time they Hale(d) and then hanged me (my "namesake") and I said: " I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country."  Well, the selfies all show oh-boy-o-boy, was I ever grinning and winking. Only boys are bullies, girls get off easy, by getting called just mean. One day my city's teams will win the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals and the Superbowl all in the same year but only after I die and me, well, only after they will have buried me in Wyoming or France, just for spite, and nobody will hear me screaming. My children will speak fondly of me even after they find out I died broke, well maybe not fondly, but they will most definitely call out my name, regularly. After my demise, all the typoes in my poems will magically disappear. All these good things will come to fruition, because I am a believer, and walked the humble path. The autopsy will also show that my tongue was permanently stuck to my cheek.
