"wednesday" poems
Little house Timeless street Childhood garden The scent of your preschool playground after a storm on a Wednesday in may The ring of your parents' doorbell The weepy feeling looking at childhood photos and knowing you'll never get those moments back The melancholy moment you realize the book you're reading was your favorite bedtime story The second the atmosphere shifts and you're suddenly thrown back to memories of your mothers embrace on a stormy night The suffocating feeling of revisiting tales thinning at the ends as your recollection slowly fades The slipping grip of what once was that will never be again, slowly turning faded and acid washed until its nothing but a feeling you cant put a name to Nostalgia

Wednesday, February 28, 2018 5:43 PM Sa panahon ngayon uminom ka ng maraming salitang "mag ingat ka". Dahil sa mundong ginagalawan mo hindi ka sigurado. Hindi ka tiyak sa mga makakasalubong mo at lalong hindi ka tiyak sa seguridad mo. Tao ka lang at di imortal na may kapangyaring i time machine ang nakaraan, kung sakaling bawiin na ito. Hindi ka mutant na kayang patigilan ang mga taong may masamang balak sayo. At lalong hindi ka super hero para di tamaan ng mga balang hatid sayo ng mundo. Hindi ka si superman na may kakayahang hindi makaramdam ng sakit. Na kung sa panong paraan, hindi ko 'yon alam. Tama na ang pagpapanggap. Hindi kana tulad ng dating matibay. Kasi matibay ka lang. Hindi kana tulad ng dating malakas para sabihing kaya mo ang lahat. Kasi kinakaya mo lang. Para kang si joker na kahit nakasimangot may malaking ngiti parin sa labi. Pinapaalala ko lang sayo, hindi lahat ng tumatawa ay masaya. Hindi kana bata para sa tuwing iiyak ka ay may handang sumaklolo para pawiin ang lungkot mo. Hindi din mapa ang makakapagsabi ng lugar kung saan ka dapat magtungo, bagkos hanapin mo ito. Tulad ng isang batang nawawala, Sabik at handang tanawin ang bukas. Hindi para tumakas kung hindi para hanapin ang lugar na magpapasaya sayo. Hindi lahat ng tao ay totoo, iba ay balatkayo. Hindi ako sigurado sa paghakbang mo kasama ako ay hindi ko masusugatan ang mga paa mo. Kung ako ba ang makakapag pahilom ng sugatan **** pagkatao. Kasi tulad mo duguan din ako. Hindi ko 'yon masisigurado. Kaya uulitin ko sayo, Sa mundong ito, Inumin mo ang salitang "mag ingat ka".

Sometimes, I wish I hadn’t just been the backseat of your car, Intoxicated. My first drunk hook up. My first. Period. I picture myself being champagne on Valentine’s Day. I picture myself being you, nervous in the car, holding Starbucks because you know I love coffee. Sometimes, I picture myself as her, calling you a stalker and ignoring your calls, but then I see myself. I call you beautiful, turn you into poetry, laugh at your bad jokes, I see myself as I become your drunk Wednesday night when you’re sad. I see myself as I say no, I become a “this is not a good idea” and you a “we’ll deal with the consequences in the morning.” We laugh because this hurts too much. You take her out for dinner and I burrow money for Plan B because you forgot you don’t like condoms and clearly have no idea how children are made. I have already named him. He has your curls and my anxiety. He is smart. Except, I never wanted kids and you would be a great father. Instead, you tell her the beach reminds you of her and I cry in a McDonald’s bathroom with my friend as relief floods through me that the test comes negative. I stop talking to you, move forward, meet someone new and before long see myself becoming you. Because isn’t that the cycle? Bad men turn good women into bad women who turn good men into bad men. I’ll set him free so he can hurt someone like me, and I drink red wine as I read her poems about him and me.

I Couldn't Fall Asleep Until I Wrote This
I heard the footsteps as they came across the road; The snap of hurried feet outside the house. Shapes in the moonlight, a voice in the darkness, A knock at the door, I heard the dogs barking.     The bleating of the flock, The chatter of the birds amongst the trees, I recall the whisper of the morning breeze; Hyphening the broken silence as two boys stole about the house; It was midnight in August 99. Two sparks set out to chase the bang! Bang! ~ set them running. I cut them down; I cut them down! I heard the sirens as the cops sped off the road; The squeal of hurried wheels outside the house. shapes in the moonlight, a voice in the darkness, A knock at the door, I heard the dogs barking. The bleating of the flock, The chatter of the birds amongst the trees, I recall the whisper of the morning breeze; Hyphening the broken silence as two cops stole about the house; It was midnight in August 99. Two cops set out to chase the bang; Bang! I put my hands up and the cops took me down! Judge I’m guilty, it’s true for everything they said I did; I did! But there were reasons, don’t you see: These boys; they were bullying me! I called the cops on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, came round again; still no one came; drove me insane; Two sparks set out to chase the bang! Bang set them running; I cut them down! Two cops set out to chase the bang! Bang! Yes, I put my hands up! and the cops took me down! But Mr Wolf gave me twenty, and the circus came to town; for as a victim I was lonely; but as a killer; as a killer; I was crowned. Newsworthy, top of the heap, the talk of the town!

is Corrie ten Boom´s Favorite Quote. The Master Weaver’s Plan My life is but a weaving Between the Lord and me; I may not choose the colors– He knows what they should be. For He can view the pattern Upon the upper side While I can see it only On this, the underside. Sometimes He weaves in sorrow, Which seems so strange to me; But I will trust His judgment And work on faithfully. ‘Tis He who fills the shuttle, And He knows what is best; So I shall weave in earnest, And leave to Him the rest. Not ’til the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needed In the Weaver’s skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern, He has planned. by AUTHOR UNKNOWN Based upon research, have discovered that more than one person has been credited with authorship of this poem. For now, have decided to list it as “author unknown” until there is further clarification. Corrie ten Boom. These words said Corrie ten Boom, the author of many many books. I feel honored and humbled that I may show you this poem she constantly presented in her life as a token of love to God and let you know about her. As Corrie ten Boom said the true author of this poem is still unknown. I am only the one who gives through. with love, Sylvia Frances Chan Wednesday, 20 December 2017

The Master Weaver’s Plan
On a Wednesday morning, clear and calm, I went to Astor Place and had a gypsy read my palm or maybe just my face. She said my heart was heavy and my head was stuffed with lies. But things like that weren't on my hand, they hid behind my eyes. The room is dull and dank and cold but at least I have a hand to hold.

Gypsy
afternoon light shining in through the sheer curtains hanging over my bedroom window, on the most ordinary day of the week, your arms were around me and my head was on your chest as it slowly rose and fell, and you twitch as you’re falling asleep, and i never thought i could fall in love with the sound of someone snoring, but your sleepy inhales made my heart swell, and since then, the day has been a series of heavy exhales. i can feel the weight of you behind my ribs and in the corners of my mouth as i smile at the thought of kissing you, your laugh, the way your eyes look when they’re looking at me, the sound of your voice when you’re trying to get music to play in your car, how i feel when i can feel you next to me; i hope you don’t mind, but no matter what time or space is between us, you’ve written your name in the sand of my soul and no amount of wind or waves will ever be able to wash it away. the time we’ve spent together feels like seconds, but you will always exist in my memory as someone who held my hand as i walked into the sun.

it was a wednesday
Mine 6:48 a Wednesday Two Weeks later Then: Thanksgiving eve 5E; MIT I sit at my desk: stare out of the windows < My skull at the Chocolate Bock I just Overflowed > all over my notes on the Circe episode of Ulysses, which I have not yet read. 20 minutes after I just –– Went alone. Stood there, yes, alone Above the porcelain enterprise Taking that litmus test of humanity Clear, I pass. Yellow, I fail. It was rather clear I think Honestly? I don't remember. Two weeks ago, I stood there== and came up with this phrase. Standing there with special eyes:::: Seeing. Came back to my room, I did, faithfully Looked there below my second fridge A plate sat. mine. On it: maybe food, maybe ***** Probably marijuana Only the first my own Who remembers? Next to it: an empty prescription bottle "It's some medicine for Asthma. I don't even _have_ asthma!" "Classy **** I am; I've never bought a shot glass. Just use discarded prescription bottles." An experiment @ the sink: exact: 2.0z. On the dot. Turns out that's 1&1/3 of the standard—The ritual We make it. And have made it. For years now together after midnight [or so] 4 years. Soon it will be Maybe I shall leave; probably not but harken back, that fortnight, less 6 To that evening. Orange and purple Effort sublime but not enough: Lost to a team of Freshman.?! ~If only:~ "Tripped mad-laundry shrooms", 6 and a half months ago Two men sit in the corner of my room I know one; the other spoke 2-weeks-later: sticky keyboard I am not sober, but who is? Last night. Remember those videos? reminded me that *** can be beautiful: After basically 2 years: I almost forgot. x-art.com. December 6, 2011 I have a perspective now: It is not the same as yours it is not and, by necessity, can not be the same. But I see it. Stephen Daedalus calls it immature—lyrical but **** you, James: it is mine! I am. Will always be. Will have never been. But, God/Goddess **** it now! I am: I See. I try! ~D.B.Guy

Today I am superwoman, I go to three jobs, one meeting, two classes I wear five hats throughout the day. I got those lovely eyebags as my trophy. By being superwoman I accomplish anything, everything that they told me I couldn't do. I wanted to be in student government... the popularity vote told me no but I showed them I could do that too. They said you can't have everything and here I am sitting with it all. In this day of superpowers I fly from class to job to job to job to meeting to home but I am the most human today. I laugh in the face of my fears of failure because I have already gotten on the road to success. I cry because even I am entitled to a good cry every once in a while. I am cranky because it evens out the crazy bubblyness that I always am. I radiate happiness although I am drowning in work I support and lean on those around me causing a tangled connection of love In every capacity I am me, happy, sad, lethargic, energized, hyper, lost, leading. In every Wednesday, I remember that my humanity all in itself makes me just as super human as the next girl or guy.

I’m often asked why I don’t like to wear shoes. My usual reply is that when I am barefoot I feel more grounded. Now when I say that people take it one of two ways; they either think it is a joke, or they think it has some really profound meaning. Maybe I don’t like shoes because maybe I never learned my lesson when I would cut the bottoms of my feet on sharp rocks. Maybe I should have realized that shoes are a good idea when I burned my feet on hot pavement not once, but twice. Maybe it’s because I like the feeling of cold mud in the spring and hot sand in the summer. Or I just don’t like wearing any god **** shoes. Maybe the it is way that stepping grass reminds me of home, and stepping in snow also reminds me of home because I grew up in Maine, where 2 ft of snow is just your average wednesday. Or possibly it’s how I can tell which room of my house I am in by the way the floor feels. Maybe it’s how when I climb tree’s barefoot I end up with scratches all over me, but being so high reminds me of how hard the climb is but how beautiful the view is once you get there. Shoe may just be too mainstream for me... Maybe I want to feel more connected to my ancestors who didn’t wear shoes. It may be that wish to a tree, that I wish that my bare feet would become roots tying me to the one place where I belong. It may be that I wish I was a dog because they don’t have to wear shoes. I might not like feeling confined. Maybe it’s a symbol for how I wish to be free, when I don’t wear shoes it’s a call for help. Maybe I am brave, putting my feet in danger. Or maybe I am just really frickin stupid, and I am starting to think it’s the latter. Especially when I end up breaking my toes, or cutting my feet, or burning them on the roads because I was too lazy or too dumb to put any shoes on. Or maybe I am just cracking a joke about bare feet and the ground (and people over analyze the smallest things)...

On Monday we met, our eyes fixated on one another, eager to know more On Tuesday we talked, twiddling our thumbs, fidgeting in our seats, pondering on the right things to say On Wednesday we hugged, your arms held me close, heartbeats in sync, I felt myself floating On Thursday we kissed, our lips gravitated towards each other, like the moon and the sea, the connection was natural On Friday we confessed, three little words wrapped around our ears, forever tattooed in our minds On Saturday you disappeared, no note, no call, no text not a trace of you left that I could still hold on to On Sunday I cried, my heart still beats, but never the same way, would you ever give me a reason if I ever asked "Why?"

Days of the Week
When I am older I will be just like my Nan, Streaking my naked body every Wednesday to the delivery man. I will have a chihuahua, Drink my milk when its sour, Use by dates will mean nothing, For 10 year old bread makes a good stuffing, I will live off many cups of tea Every ten minutes have a *** Hoard a thousand tin of beans in the draw, We all know we need them when we're at war, I will be superstitious, And make food taste delicious, I would be head of my family, head of my herd, My word will be final, anyone else's word is absurd, Anyone who calls me 'dear', will get a slap around the ear. YES, I want to be just like my Nan, Every Wednesday streaking to the delivery man.

The Crumblies
Monday was terrible. Horrific. I spent the day sulking on my lonesome and went home ready to erupt. I could feel the slight tingle of tears threatening their way through my eyelids Ready to pour over the second they perched open But due to my lack of sleep last night I doubt I could even build up the strength to open my glossy eyes Even if I wanted to In a weird sense I enjoyed the mere thought of Monday being able to make me cry I almost laughed Or screamed Or both A year ago today Everyday was a Monday to me Everyday went horribly Everyday made me come home crying and lock myself in my room I was so used to that constant repetitive torture That Monday appeared to be no different than any other day Monday was just... It. Tuesday was "it" Wednesday was "it" Thursday was "it" Friday was "it" Even Saturday and Sunday were "it" But now, today Monday is distinct In a horrifyingly gruesome way And this tear-jerking unsatisfying Monday gave me hope Monday made me cry Tuesday did not Wednesday did not Thursday did not Friday did not Not even Saturday or Sunday made me cry Only Monday made me cry Only Monday Just as Monday made 7 billion other humans cry On this torturous inescapable earth It also made me cry And that gave me hope that maybe I really am normal Or I can be Or I will be Because Monday is unbearable for everyone And Monday is unbearable for me And the rest of the week is alright for most people And it was alright for me And Saturday and Sunday are fun for most people And Saturday and Sunday were fun for me Somewhere Deep inside my clouded, muddy mind I caught a glimpse of hope That maybe There is hope for me Maybe I am cured Maybe I can be Maybe I will be

It's the same day again, another Monday, everyday is Monday Monday, its Monday. Monday again, its Monday The rain is pouring and its Monday, I have to go to work I'm stocking shelves on Monday and the rain is pouring I see the blonde girl and I avoid her eyes because its Monday Perhaps on Tuesday I'll smile at her but its Monday and its raining I'm taking a cigarette break on Monday and its raining still Now I'm buying painkillers because its Monday and the rain seeps through my hood on Monday Monday, its Monday. Monday again, its Monday "Is the bus late?" "Yes, probably because its Monday." Solemn faces on Monday Crying children on Monday Jaded skies on Monday Will the sun be shining on Friday? Who knows, I only exist on Monday and its raining again.

That Wednesday Feeling (The Happiest Thing I Ever Did Write)
Ease your way Into Sunday, Monday’s here soon enough. Friday’s best, Time to rest, The week was tough. Boozeday Tuesday is okay I must say And Table Tennis Thursday ain’t bad too. Wednesday’s fish and chips are yummy – They fill my tummy, Washed down with a brew. I love Saturday sport, Who would have thought I’d get set in my ways? Such is my week, Hardly unique, But on Sunday I laze. Paul Butters

Lazy Sunday
On Monday I started to write a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, As I always feel the day slipping away, Before I know it Tuesday is on, I start to put down words, But the end won’t come to my mind, And I know the day is slipping away For Wednesday has come now, I feel the wakening of the doer inside of me, I sit down with my pen and paper, With the t.v. switched on besides me, Oh I know the day has slipped away, Now at the centre of the week I’m on Thursday, I start for one last time, But I know I won’t finish for the next 2 days, And I wrote dad a dum da beep pada, And I’m not surprised for the day has slipped away, And I begin my weekend on the Friday, Hanging around my incomplete song, Just 5 words on the paper, My head is spinning around, And floating through time I’m onto the next one, Its Saturday night I’m partying hard, Not hard enough for my song undone is weighing me down, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do about it, So I try not to think just loose myself in the sound As I dance to Sunday morning I, I sleep from sun up to sun down, Sunday night I’m roaming around, I know tomorrow’s a new day, I’m gonna finish that song, Monday morning, I’m writing a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, My life’s slipped past when my eyes were shut, Now I’ve forgotten what I was writing about, Back to the start I don’t have another chance, I curse life, for when I stopped it kept moving on.

Wednesday
On a Wednesday, I want to tell you the truth. listen to me as if it's the first time you've heard a voice On a Wednesday, I want you to understand. because I don't want to hurt you, you see. I want you to hurt me. On a Wednesday, at this table I want you to realize it was meant to be like this all along. To be on opposite sides of the table with different worlds as plates, different wants and needs as different tastes. On a Wednesday, I want you to taste what I taste. the sour taste of our expired time

On a Wednesday
Strolling through the park With humans, dogs, and birds, Pink leaves make their mark As they hover down in thirds. Drifting along lazy airwaves, An amplified guitar echoes As a band soulfully misbehaves For all nearby bedfellows. Apartments loom over trees, From a place of urban gray As blue air works to appease Spaces between dusk and day. Sturdy street lights rusted and old Accompanying a worn path ignite, One by one flashing dark to gold On a normal Wednesday night.

A Normal Wednesday Night
They’re really rockin’ in Bradford, Off the Pennine Way. Deep in the heart of Yorkshire And round the Robin Hood’s Bay. All over South Ossett And down to New Farnley. Roast beef and Yorkie Puddings, God’s Own County, Yay! Yull see ‘em rambling at Ilkley, Right to the county line, Sheffield steel and Wednesday – A football team so fine. Better still, Leeds United, Greatest club of all time. Yorkshire, Kings of Cricket, Oh what a boon! Get down that wicket, We’ll be champs by June. Down a ginnel or snicket, See our Olympic Champs. Coal Miner Picket, Relight those lamps. Racing pigeons and ferrets, Stereotypes tha knows. Over t’top in Lancashire, Them there’s our foes. We’re the greatest county, Our pride really glows. We know you all hate us, It keeps us on our toes. So we’ll be rockin’ in Yorkshire, What more can I say? Us Tykes 're as barmy as Barnsley, So I’ll be on my way. Paul Butters (With due thanks to Chuck Berry and also The Beach Boys)

the banana poem
Solvent and solution Kept assuaged for so long Treading in the selfishness of my subconscious state Of barely traceable memories, spurred on by the gravity of time spent At the briefest hint at past involvement Each leaf falls, eventually. Every pristine little well formed tended to. Each nurtured, cared for, parcel or idea. I can watch them for hours Watching them fall, one by one, for hours. When days start to bleed together, out of the corner of my eye, I can always see them, marking progression. Collecting in drifts, then, taken by the wind, then The rot sets in. I used to watch this. I used to find time. The roof cast me in its shadow, even standing along the banister that runs along the length Even as the final rays of sun start to vanish one at a time

Wednesday
FANCY AS **** I knew something was not right. I went in with a sledge hammer challenged the truth and you put the phone down. Me in London, You in Dublin. One day to our planned London Weekend. *I came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wrecked me I never meant to start a war I just wanted to know the truth I wanted you to tell the truth I couldn’t live a lie; I was running for my life* When you put the phone down on me on Wednesday night Oct 10th followed by a solicitor’s letter the following day, that was abuse. That letter was profoundly nasty. It was all a lie, just like as I now know, the rest of our relationship was. You went to the Garda, anything just so I would not discover the truth. Your abuse is not without it's consequences. I needed you to tell me to talk to me. I don't feel revenge, anger, hate; I just feel utter shock, used, physically abused and mostly devastation. But you know what, it hurts like hell, but I will fight back and I will find my way out of this abuse. I find it hard to believe you want me to suffer like this. Now I know you ‘Fancied Me As **** Why not just be straight up?  Why all the lies? Why not give me the chance to walk away when I wanted to?

Fancy As ****
Ruddy's was the place to be on Wednesday nights, cheap drinks, free hotdogs and the graceful presence of Times Square hookers late at night, what a wonderful scene, marines hookers and the best jazz juke box inn manhattan, rowdy and something almost always happened, better than life. I was a young man in a strange country, had my fists tested in FLA and Brooklyn for stupid prejudices on my behalf and others, words hurt only those who do not know their meaning and root. There was a black man sitting next to me, quiet and still, a true barfly, he turned and said; - you are not from round here- -  no - I said -I am from Mexico - - you don't look Mexican, but let's go with it, I don't look African American either- - r you from the south?- -Georgia, as they call it - -well, I've worked in FLA and met some rednecks, Cubans, blacks, but almost no Chinese- -you mean yellow- -or ******* - or **** you know men, I prefer racism down south, over there the distinction is cut loose clear, we don't like each other, but here, men I tell you, you wannanother beer?- -sure men- -Girls just wanna **** you cause I'm black, you know, to be cool and **** -yeah, Jewish girls wanna **** white Gentiles, different reasons same goal- -I hear you, here it's all about being fashionable, but deep in the pit it's all fake as a 10 dollar coin-   We kept at it until Beth started a fight with another ****** they were calling each other **** I've never heard.
