if the news could have hit any harder it would not have been news it would have been a rock and it would have bruised him and broken his bones. maybe better it was a rock because words could sting ten times more. brusies healded and you forgot where they were but words were not so kind. if only life were a package of m&m's where you could sort our red from orange and yellow and blue and only eat the ones that you truly favoried.

 

 

you are, and i am

You are the blow dryer with it's dragon breath
you are the shinny penny on the cement beneath my toes
you are the key that donsn't appear to open anything
you are the jar of peanut butter with no lid
you are the endless paper chain linking forever and never

however you are not
the sheets fresh from the dryer, warn and folded
or the single Lego in the spoon drawer
and you are not the raindrops that hit my window screen
nor are you the fuzzy turtle magnet stuck on the fridge

it is possible that you are
the toothpaste tube half squeezed out but still minty and fresh
of the cute shoes that hurt my feet but that i still wear

But we all know that you are not
the TV remote snuggled into the couch
and could never be the pocket knife dangerously dull

And because you ask yes
i am the pot of ink spilled across the desk
and the Tuscan painting on the wall
and if you insist i am also
the book with dog-eared pages
and the extra red lipstick applied with care

yes i am the pearl braclet
and the old record player spinning endlessly
and indeed i am the clock ticking backwards
loosing time, waiting
but don't worry you are still the dragon blow dryer, forever
for i cannot breath fire
and i am no shinny penny

ohhh monday! why in the world do we have them. they are torturous and evil ! awww! i can't waite for saturday i am so excited!

D is wishing A would notice him. E id glad that it isn't friday

H is at a movie with I and J is missing K who is about to cry
L is buying M a ring, M us eloping to vegas with N.
O is thinking A is cute. P is wishing she was C. Q is holding E"S

great great somebody

I am alive, and right now to me I am the most important thing.
The air I inhale matters, the things I do influence
But when I die and I am not more than a vague memory,
I will not be your most important.
When my great great grandkids hear about their grandma Kate,
Will that mean anything?
Or will it be yet another name on a long list of ancestors long deceased.
Will I disappear into a name.
Only a name on a page. I can’t say I am any better.
I don’t know those who I have never met
My great great somebody on my grandpa’s side
But it saddens me.
Could I be more?
Could I forge a mark on the future if I’m not a part of it?
Or are we to live for now, for those with us now.
And then accept being a name, a great great somebody
on my grandpas side

what are men compared to rocks and mountains and carriages that work? \
-- pride and prejudice

response to an opera

The sea roared and so did her heart. She was a strong woman.
She wasn't supposed to let this happen to her. He broke her heart ,
took all and gave nothing. She was devastated she mourned but she
was still strong and however much it hurt she would be alright.
She let the wind blow her hair and the sea mist moisten her skin.
It felt good and appropriate for how she was feeling.
She had let him hurt her heart! But she wouldn't let it happen again,
she would no longer wear her heart on her sleeve,
she would hold it safe for her protection. She thought she was
stronger than this. wasn't she? yes she was! Then she cracked and the
tears came. and her fingers quickly wiped them away but they continued to come.
She sat down sinking into the sand. Her beautiful white dress
was now covered in sand and water. She was glad of that,
for she now held it as a sign of a wedding, of a love that would never be.
She put her head softly in her hands and for the fist time in a
very long time sobbed her heart out. She sat their until she no
longer had any tears. When she finally looked up, a soft white
butterfly soared above the water. And she knew that she would be alright.
she stood up her eyes burning and eyes even more so, and quietly walked
quickly home.

aww the ocean! and the best little pier!
