Being a coach is hard Winning isn't everything It all stats during practice Arrive early to prep for the team The ones who want it show up on time want it The best players show up late Running bases conditioning for the game Batting cages to help with the swing Playing catch helping the team work as a unit Till the day of the big game Slide to the base with technique practiced Cutoff play to make an out Team functions without doubt Play hard play right win or loss giving it your all Coach does right by the team no need to fight Lets win and take the season play and do What the team does best play softball

There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Under curves and over slopes, Equations rise and fall endlessly In a perfectly measured void. Optimized, rationalized, sterilized; Formulas that never lie, Theorems looming before us Like an archaic God, A golden deity whose Volume is maximized. How I dream of drifting in this flux, Concave up and concave down, Riding the sign of my second derivative For positive and negative, For better and worse. I would not travel alone; With C by my side, Friend, ally, brother, Always paired with my antiderivative, For whenever we journey back Into the past, it is necessary To have a companion to pull us out again In case we are unsure of where we started. Rules and laws Strict organization, control; There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Order; two plus two is always four. Sines and cosines and theta All dancing in the unit circle of life, A conga line that joins itself To form a mathematical ouroboros. But the harshest of the harsh beauties Presented in this Divine Subject Is that though there is an infinite capacity For positivity and growth, So too is there the possibility of stretching Endlessly towards negativity forever. However, it is much more terrifying To lie in the middle; To be undefined, unknowable, and to add Or subtract to no effect; The most fear inducing, mysterious, and gorgeous number Of zero; nothing yet something, Infinite yet not, The most grand of all contradictions. A hole; a jump; a discontinuity, Easily removed from life and smoothed out If you just apply the formulas. Graphs and coordinates, integers and ordered pairs, Is that not what life is? We live within the grandest equation, Each our own variable, Constantly solving for ourselves With the harsh beauties of mathematics.

It's not that I don't love you. It's the time I read my mom's old journals and every other paragraph included my fathers name. It's that he cheated on every girlfriend he had with my mom. It's that my mom didn't care she was a second choice or a one night stand. It's that my mother never talked to anyone about him after he got married to one of the many girlfriends. It's that she took twenty sleeping pills on the night of what would've been their anniversary. It's that he doesn't even know she's dead. It's not that I don't love you. It's the couple I overheard in the bread aisle arguing over wheat or white. It's that I heard the woman say a lot of "she" and **** and I saw her crumble to the ground. It's that he just shook his head and said he was sorry over and over again. It's not that I don't love you. It's that my best friend is in love with a boy on the other side of the country. It's the morning she took a shower and cried over him. It's that he wasn't even awake to do anything about it. It's that he's always three hours behind and thousands too many miles away. It's that I mean both physically and mentally sometimes. It's not that I don't love you. It's my geometry teacher, who brought up her husband when she taught me tangents. It's that she also brought up her husband when she taught me the circle unit too. It's that she gets quiet and smiles after she talks about him. It's that he's been passed away for seven years now and she still has so much to say. It's that she still wears her wedding ring. It's that when she taught me special right triangles, I wondered what her laugh might sound like if he were still here. What I'm trying to say is; It's not that I don't love you. It's that I do.

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Illuminated void
distant ships sailing through the pink crests of brain matter   brimming with cargo; the unit of knowledge burrowed in flesh unable to feel pain, passing the sensation on skulled flags—beware, remember, know that these things can haunt you. (know that these things may one day heal you) this is who you are now: yellow, sunflowers wreathed in knotted strands of wheat-colored hair, pill bottles half-full, hands like rotting fly traps curled in supplication on a Thursday morning when the pain is too much to bear alone. this is who you will always be: a series of binary sparks, a long silvery tunnel, streetcars laden with passengers weaned on anger & fear & love-- a construction site. you are a work in progress.

Little Toy Soldiers going off to war None will ever live to  see age twenty four None of them even  know what they're fighting for Little Toy Soldiers going off to war The world has always been this way With Emperors and Kings Fighting with toy soldiers And the glory that it brings Land, beliefs, religion The basis of the war fought by young toy soldiers Who all die by the score Time has taught us nothing But, it's changed the way we fight War is a full day job Now that it is fought at night The boards of little armies Are now shown up on the screen With all the little soldiers Lit in different shades of green They used to be all metal Painted up in nice bright shades With a General on horseback Leading all his smart brigades Then, the men were plastic glued to bits of wood Behaving as a unit Just like a soldier should Now, the war is different They're up there in different hues You can watch them fight in real time Just like on the nightly news The only thing remaining The thing that's stayed the same Is that nobody in power Know the Little Soldiers names Little Toy Soldiers going off to war None will ever live to  see age twenty four None of them even  know what they're fighting for Little Toy Soldiers going off to war

C is a Cornflower come with the corn; C is a Cat with a comical look. D is a Dinner which Dahlias adorn; D is a Duchess who dines with a Duke. E is an elegant eloquent Earl; E is an Egg whence an Eaglet emerges. F is a Falcon, with feathers to furl; F is a Fountain of full foaming surges. G is the Gander, the Gosling, the Goose; G is a Garnet in girdle of gold. H is a Heartsease, harmonious of hues; H is a huge Hammer, heavy to hold.

K is a King, or a Kaiser still higher; K is a Kitten, or quaint Kangaroo. L is a Lute or a lovely-toned Lyre; L is a Lily all laden with dew. M is a Meadow where Meadowsweet blows; M is a Mountain made dim by a mist. N is a Nut--in a nutshell it grows-- Or a Nest full of Nightingales singing--oh list! O is an Opal, with only one spark; O is an Olive, with oil on its skin. P is a Pony, a pet in a park; P is the Point of a Pen or a Pin.

To the people who think education majors have it easy, Nothing, and I truly mean nothing, gets under my skin more than people who have the same mindset as you. People like you think that my 3.8 GPA isn’t as worthy as someone else’s in a different major. People like you think education majors can’t possibly be as stressful as other majors. People like you think that my 40-page unit plan doesn’t even begin to compare to your 40-page report. People like you think that teaching is easy. it's ******** I’m not going to sit here and go into detail about all of the difficult assignments I’ve had over the past four years as a middle school math major because frankly you’re just not worth my time. Also, because that would mean that I have something to prove to you, and I don’t. You can’t begin to judge a major until you have sat in on their classes, done their assignments, took their tests, etc. So, for you to judge my major based solely on the fact that I’m teaching children makes you arrogant and ignorant. Imagine the excitement you feel when you get an A on an exam you spent days studying for. Now imagine that same excitement being stripped away from you in a second because someone tells you that your major is easy and that that’s the reason you got such a good grade. Imagine working your **** off to earn Dean’s List every semester you’ve been at school, for someone to turn around and tell you that the only reason you’ve achieved that is because of your easy major. It’s hurtful. I chose to become a teacher because I want to take part in shaping children’s minds. I want to take part in making students grow up enjoying math. I want to take part in making learning fun.   I don’t think that is something I’ll ever regret, no matter how many times you try to bring me down. Please just focus on your own major. Focus on your own difficult assignments, your own difficult tests, and your own difficult projects, that way you can truly strive for success. And I’ll still be here, an education major, cheering you on. Sincerely, A future teacher.

I’ve seen it myself sometimes. Shooting pool with a Marine I liked, a buddy. He’s drunk. Always had a ***** problem and women had disappointed him, no more than any other man. Anyway, the only gal in the unit, honest, hard working, blonde comes into the room. We all wanted her I’d shown her my poems, which she’d taken a pass on. Joe starts teasing her about her tiny **** touching them with his cue. She’s scared. So am I. Joe’s stronger, faster than me, by a lot, and when he’s drunk he knows no friend. How long can I stay silent, I calculate. What does he have to do before I speak. Speech, none. If I don’t put him down with the first crack of my cue, I’m done. Lucky for me she gets away unharmed, goes back to her room. I think Joe assumed me and the other guys, by our nervous smiles, would enjoy a **** tonight. Men are such chickens, I can’t speak for women. You basically hold your breath your whole life. Live in a zoo **** and ***** And if it comes to that, you’ll **** on orders, from who? Another swinging **** who fears his death. You’ve got to make every day a good day to die.

A Good Day to Die
who is this husky? shedding luck and fur down by the horizon. town tips in snow & breathy-fog. the mountain tips and prays on bowed-knee, to daughters in pursuit of happiness, & trees. she’s out there looking for the best in mother madness. a horse’s bangs, sprung moon to ridge to purpling autumn-seared fields four days lit. this ease into living, carousel, carnival of lights & love. the rolling of a family unit. the sound and punched beauty of it. like when we were birds, or kids, or humming the sun strummed hills. [ catch a dream. ] open your little eyes, bear cub. see small pools of sulphurous heat & repeat, let go the smoke to breathe.

Where goes the time when it flies? Simplified by expression, and stained by clarity. Smudge by lucidity smeared by simplicity tainted by intelligibility. Tempus fugit as in time flies. Sharply distressing with painful feelings to the point of mental instability morning or night we become possessed with its mystic dealings. Where goes the time when it runs? Not a solitary explanation is found. It happens and it won’t stop until life terminates as well without cause. Derived of rationalisation lacking understanding short of justification bursting with vindication persistently and with conviction. Where goes the time when it sails? From the second that we’re born. Where were we existing? We cannot be so sure Cannot recollect the past Not for the first five of our years Memory so blur, so shadowy Hazy with distortions obscure and confusing Unit our mind starts slowly to recollect. Where goes the time when it escapes? The chronology of life so mysterious. Nothing can solve its ambiguity for time is a complex case with an infinity of secrets. What’s the obsession when we have so many setbacks drawbacks and obstacles obstructions and conundrums to take care of before time perishes away and leaves us stranded in oblivion. Oh time, you magnificent of all mysteries, the high and mighty of ambiguities. Show us mercy and explain we are not detectives of secrecies your spell with us reflects on the whodunits. Oh time of things past and yet to come give us a clue as to what is to derive! “Remember” it softly replies “Make most of your lives” “Once I fly away no one can have a replay”.

The old fable covers a doctrine ever new and sublime; that there is One Man, — present to all particular men only partially, or through one faculty; and that you must take the whole society to find the whole man. Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an engineer, but he is all. Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the divided or social state, these functions are parcelled out to individuals, each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work, whilst each other performs his. The fable implies, that the individual, to possess himself, must sometimes return from his own labor to embrace all the other laborers. But unfortunately, this original unit, this fountain of power, has been so distributed to multitudes, has been so minutely subdivided and peddled out, that it is spilled into drops, and cannot be gathered. The state of society is one in which the members have suffered amputation from the trunk, and strut about so many walking monsters, — a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow, but never a man. Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing, into many things. The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm. The tradesman scarcely ever gives an ideal worth to his work, but is ridden by the routine of his craft, and the soul is subject to dollars. The priest becomes a form; the attorney, a statute-book; the mechanic, a machine; the sailor, a rope of a ship.

In this trigonometric love equation You're my arcsin, You're my special angle, Secretly placed In that unit circle of feelings. You may arrange my major arcs and diameters Inside of it Perfectly triangular, Love will always have The same ratio pi. Our equation of love Is seemingly incompatible. It has philosophical numbers becoming Common geometric shapes Of love itself Like hidden spheres In triangles, But in real terms of graphing Our parallel lines of life Went on forever not crossing at any point Of this imperfect world. Our love is, in fact, A complex system of equations With the same set of three unknowns Searching their own values It has a narrative statement. You're my C. You're mister C, From c'telzing From caleptikide And from cataguerrillaism, In this beautiful madness of love. You know, our love is getting old In concentric circles, Those circles of time. Extrapolate it to infinity, sweetheart, You may be my semi-infinity Until the end of the time, That semi-infinity, In which I lose myself From time to time Each time coming From the same unique star As that already existent In an old Romanian novel, Which is called Lorelei.

An Impossible Math
I choose,I wait I wait to choose These lips are mine Shall not be kissed By just anyone I dream the kiss I wake and smile Full of bliss This quest of mine Special Waiting for the right moment To unfold myself Such a reactive emotional unit I hide this kiss from all Knowing the parts of me it will bring out I protect it without a doubt I save it for the one who answers my inner call That kiss I save... Yet hide from all~

That Kiss
Enter—the transitive nightfall of diamonds. There are crop circles dancing in a wave on Neptune, with corn rows gleaming from the man on Mars. Tail feathers toss toward a flute near Venus. Fly me like a rainbow to the nearest star. Sirius B has nothing for me. Anunnaki women want to dig my scene. Don’t take me seriously; I’m bluffing like a rookie with a pair of queens. Moon Unit lands with a Zappa on Pluto. Yoda on Saturn plays steel guitar. Moses rides in on a doggone quasar. Captain Trips sleeps by a medicine jar. Sirius B has something for me. Hot Nibiru babes try to make my dream. Don’t greet me furiously. I’ll drop you like a comet heading to the east. Exit—the transitive nightfall of diamonds.

Before there was anything that mattered everything that would ever be existed , it was the essence of totality , it was without dimensional constriction or necessitated form .  Optimistically speaking time had no relative realism to it’s progression because realistically nothing had happened yet .  As it continued it became according to it’s innate inflections as a functionally integrable form .  The questionably understandable nature of it’s conjunction was an omnipotent directive beyond necessitated action or morphological construction .  The enigmatic consciousness of it’s relatively interrelated conception was spontaneous and yet it continued without elemental omniscience . As the relative complexity of it’s interrelations evolved dimensional consistence was born.  Humanly understandable laws of physical integration governed many facets of it’s conjunction yet the totality of it’s ramification was beyond humanly realistic conjecture .   The organic morphology of biological ontogeny was a conceptually reflective derivative of functional physical mechanics yet it’s diversity exceeded it’s physical complexity , understanding evolved .  Relatively extraneous interpolations of adhesively practical extremity succeeded in a hierarchy of functionally integrable forms . Retrospectively speaking pragmatic practicality is a humanly rational possibility .  Rational logic can conceive of individually totalitarian structural forms , yet the implosive nature of their rational cohesiveness becomes a practical partiality due to the diversity of their definitive impetus . Perhaps the essence of our being is the logical counterpart for the matrix of our subjectively conclusive social fragmentation , or perhaps we are evolutionally incapable of cumulatively rational correlation .  Problematic diversity could be perfectible on an individually infinite level or contrarily perhaps ubiquitous causality is the ultimate survivor .   In any case it is beyond our subjugatively rational cohesive coercion to intercede en masse on our own behalf as an integrated unit.

Keeping One's Distance/ The Poetry of Madness
Derive the joy, magic and warmth of addition by connecting your soul to another's, yet remain independent as singular souls. Meet the interference of envious, bitter and resentful subtraction which gives the process of separation from the souls you have connected to. Both opposing forces with obstinate motivations coordinate unconsciously for the creation of an entrance-exit cycle in human interaction. The pinnacle of human interaction is interceded by multiplication who compounds the congregation of the independent souls into a cohesive unit called groups and eventually society and nation. Nevertheless met by the malevolent, destructive energy of division which ruthlessly breaks apart the products nurtured by multiplication, smashing them with propaganda, discrimination, and segregation. O' how I exclaim that division is the truly nefarious power.

Society's mathematical equation
I stumbled across a letter from an old friend, its contents were long and wordy but they had their end. It was just her way of saying she appreciated our friendship. A friendship unanchored, blew away with the wind with paper sails that have only thinned. Birthdays used to be a grand affair; a day to celebrate but each year the wishes dwindle down so I reciprocate. Radio meets silence while we're both aware of the days until it becomes a memory of the song that no longer plays. Too busy trying to navigate channels that changed. Then an invitation to a graduation came to me one year a wedge of uninterrupted distance bridged by a, "Dear." I don't know if olive branches can hold my weighted heart but I sent my response to expect me there before I decided to not care. When the day came you said, "I didn't think you would come!" I kept quiet how I cried in my car a block from your home. I hid my face in your arms and squeezed you tight because the wedge between us was five-years wide. "I said I would," is all I replied. And we asked each other questions that friends don't ask. What did you study? Where do you live? What do you do? We joke around but do not laugh as hard as we used to. My past brought to my present like a nostalgic gift. A chance to heal over our ocean-wide rift. And there were no known reasons! I can't turn back the clock! I just drifted like a small boat barely tethered to its dock until a storm came and everyone forgot to tie me down. Or maybe it was on purpose, or maybe I couldn't secure me. I was the fourth in a unit of three, send me out to sea. But there is a positive to all of this turmoil there is a reason the invitation made it to my door. I rowed myself through the five-year waves back to shore and tethered my boat and checked the knots times ten. When friends become strangers we get to meet again.
