Studying Stones -Ani DiFranco
I am out here studying stones Trying to learn to be less alive Using all of my will To keep very still Still even on the inside I’ve cut all of the pertinent wires So my eyes can’t make that connection I am holding my breath I am feigning my death When I’m looking in your direction ‘Course numb is an old hat Old as my oldest memories See that one’s my mother And that...
Right now I’m experiencing an indescribable and unexplainable feeling. I feel desolate, withdrawn even. I guess I should have seen this coming, its been so long since I had another episode like this. Though, its not really an “episode” per say. Its more like a spell.
been so long since I’ve been held Really since I was his Probably just need to be held That’s...

Dear future love;
havent-got-a-prayer:
I’m waiting for you, trusting that you will find me without losing your way. I don’t know your name. I don’t know your face. All I know is that someday our paths will cross; you will stumble into my life or I into yours, and life will seem just a little bit brighter. I wish I knew who to look for. What if I let you pass without saying a word? No, I don’t think I will....
With some family from L.A. in town, Im thinking alot about life over there. Will I find it comfertable? I mean, I know it wont be my home…but it will become my new home. Im very curious as to how I will take city life after moving from the country. Everything is just at a different pace. And to think that if everything goes as planned, I’ll be moving out n a little over 7...
Like a real Pesante
My 2nd cousin (but I call him uncle cause he almost 60) Freddie is here at my house. The rest of the famlily stayed in the hotel on account of some food poisoning (typical vacation tragedy). He’s telling stories of when he was in high school. He told me all the trades and tricks he learned from pushing and pool hustling in Harlem. And how he knew Tim Leary.He’s a Pesante, so his...

3 books
I bought three new books this weekend!! :D I give up on having a list because I always end up reading somthng else then I had planned. So I got a book of selected poems by my second favorite poet Lord Byron. You might know him from the poem She Walks In Beauty. It was sung as a song in the begining of Vanity Fair with Reese W. Then I got The Russian Concubine a romance between a Russian girl and...
Writing.
I wrote this in my writing class today. We were given a book of artwork and told to write somthing, anything inspired by a piece of our choice. I forgot who the artist was but I chose a painting of New Orleans and created this little scenario in my head. This is a woman writing a letter to her lover who is far away.
The heartbeat of New Olreans marches through the French Quarter , her brass and...

Candide
If you cant tell, I jsut finished reading Candide by Voltaire. If you are a fan of satire..you should def. pick it up. Get the Barns and Noble Calssics edition with the introduction by Gita May. It has these trippy 1960’s illistrations in it that are actually quite interesting…but like I said…a little trippy. Next on my list is The Tempest, Foxfire,and a a few shorts by my...
