    I can't sleep.

    Sometimes when I can't sleep I reread the entries on my live journal. Funny that I don't even write in grammatically correct sentences on this thing. Most of the time.

    It makes me sound like I'm twelve.

    I love rereading old entries and seeing what I was thinking/writing about at whatever given time.

    Uhhh..... I hate sleeplessness.

    I also hate how neurotic I have been lately. Totally batty. REALLY batty.

    I think my medication isn't working.

    Current Music: Feist. You know, I really only like two or three of her songs.

    I am hanging out with my friend Nick right now, and we searched for my favorite poets on you tube. And the Velvet Underground. We also watched a generous amount of Britney Spears footage. Its so sad! Britney's a cokehead! What happened?!?!? At first I thought the whole downward spiral thing was funny. Well really mostly only how she shaved her head. But now that I think about it, its just really depressing. Britney was so cool was I was in fourth grade! The coolest! I was a girl scout, and me and all of my little girl scout friends used to dance around to her at our troop meetings. I was almost going to see her with my friend, and then the show sold out. I was really really sad about it. I remember.

    I bet her ex-husband got her into coke. She used to be such a good dancer. That sound "Toxic" is the shit. I also really like her new single.

    How depressing.

    Current Music: britney spears

    I found out that I got a 97 on my philosophy final. Fuck yesss.

    I hate the idea of people reading my poetry. I am very self-conscious about it. I have been trying to make this whole journal private over the last few days and it is getting really annoying, because this stupid website won't privatize the whole journal at once; I have to go back and make every single fucking entry private. I think there are 80 entries.

    I have been writing again though.

    For some reason I made this entry public.

    Some people, they wear their unhappiness like it’s their head.
    Like some eyed necessity.
    Or a mouthed balloon of crude oil,
    Conviction talks:
    Says This is the important thing.
    To be held high, watchman.
    Dear me, I am that girl.

    It comes on like a poor play
    I must sit out till the interminable ending
    Maturating In my chest, I grow moss
    Its as if I’m a royal nurse, or
    I’m suckling some prophet.
    Or is she a listing ship?
    Together we cannot remember the flooding, but she alone can.
    When she reigned like resurfaced drowned man
    from feigned laughter and unmouthed,
    From white teethed rucus
    She emerged like a lie, lithe
    The thousand arms

    Stealthily, assuredly
    When she constricts me,
    My eyes turn a mute
    My senses squander
    I surrender my colors
    She sucks my white offerings
    I fall from time.


    Yes, my babe is a witch,
    A pickpocket.
    She haunts the soirées and the amusements and the beggars beds too,
    She steals to the crackle in footstep
    The toll and toil
    Of the sickly sun
    But we hear the buildings unfoil
    we are invincible.
    We steal the heat from the rifts between
    Sentences, and spin absence on its axis.
    we slip through eyelids, floorboards
    And make brothy nest of sleeper’s blood
    We are one and the same.
    she has my looks. Look twice, listen.
    in oxygen
    We watch you dance the song of the fixed motions.
    I am electricity
    I hold the pendulum
    You are a slow compass.


    Fossils, faces,
    I set dauntless paces

    what wrings the weather?

    What wrings the hemlock?
    What rots on wrist’s
    Watch watch for tomarrow only comes
    To travel under passerby
    Open thine eye
    Windy city
    You have a bad blood
    You walk like a yo-yo


    Through the L time metals and in the heat pours to set notions
    Cells mend to organs, amenity, shell of
    time is a drowning ocean
    Water unto water, solvent of a
    poor crowd
    awaiting absent trains
    through subway stations

    windy city
    you have a bad blood
    you walk like a yo-yo.

    I am your current.

    this is the hurdy-gurdy
    the boxed houses, the botoxed smiles

    listen closely:
    you can hear her pulse in the grappling of an alarm clock
    her hiss in the shuffle of
    joyless deportment.

    Current Music: the ramones

    The sky grows fur and ambles unto
    unsure awakenings
    like a drunken jesus.

    The sides-streets clang for
    missed presence
    and cats careen forth
    in the empty alleyways
    which grow heat
    wailing for missed mornings

    The earth clangs,

    weeps.

    sleep
    where memories steep

    ‘pon dewey bedroom pillows
    Queen Mab pirouettes on
    sweaty countenances
    and learns ladies to bear

    the night scathes us
    Saves us into stars
    Grows scars
    Passes us passively
    Like silent witches
    On rooves with no
    Pig’s blood

    I lie listlessly.

    On the better nights
    I do not dream of the
    absent others,
    and the distant men I know
    sauntering like quick sparrows
    that mill through bedroom windows
    and into eardrums

    No, I dream of strange lands where
    we walk wakelessly
    and pick up pieces of past lives
    wearing ghostly tempos
    and horrid voices.

    One night I met Jerry Garcia
    And on the best nights
    I die a bloody death
    and I am reborn
    at afternoon’s break

    Magenta and green
    they soar there
    tear like
    Numb teeth
    into impotent
    knights who have
    no swords
    just wands
    and damsels

    it ides time
    to vine
    crosses supine
    meadows of
    curved
    dreamers
    where it

    bides time to

    butterflies

    baskets thickets,

    spines the

    soul.

    "rim job pussy fuck"
    that's what someone traced into the dust of my car while i was at a thai place. ummmm...."rim job pussy-fuck"....guess that's what he wanted to do to me. i love getting weirded out by men i don't know.

    i'm excited about my paycheck... i can buy books! i bought a jim carrol book today. and i looked into richard brautigan and decided that i want some of his stuff too. (wink, wink. thanks for the tip.)

    i'm going to go read and write now. i haven't been posting my writing and i edited the last poem on this baby so i will change that. i'm glad i learned how to edit stuff. because i didn't really understand it when i first started writing, and i allways have alot of differant ideas of how i should say the same thing that- well its kind of overwhelming sometimes, when you have like an infinate number of versions of the same peice of writing. but i guess that is what is so cool about it. i sort of relish in editing stuff. its fun.

    i want to make friends that live here that write. i guess that's why i'm self-concious about it. because i don't really know anyone else that does. makes me feel like a strange woman.

    but i guess it doesn't matter.




    note to self: go see a move with james dean in it.

    Current Mood: i just ate a good meal.

    does anyone
    actually like anything they write?



    i am so self-concious of this journal. not so much of other people reading it, but its more me being critical of/uncomfortable with my writing.

    my yester is yellow, throth.
    yonder when I loitered lawn
    and wove diadems of the burb blade

    my haunter

    you were a
    hollow inhabiter
    thorn of green
    and notched in
    numb calculations
    (a voiceless voice)

    song-monger, I thought you played house
    in the ploy of your promise,
    with jesus, mary, joseph
    playing house

    Now I am shelf.

    See my landscape. I simper saline
    Brothy breed,
    I am your sightless bastard
    And I amble in side-streets and alleyways
    I am your arch-back invalid
    Graceless, disaligned,
    I kneel.
    Next to rats, vermin
    Rank, blind,
    I heel.
    Under and over death dens,
    Into the pottage and peels of cities
    I reel
    Into the rends of an imagined histories
    i ride a wracked wheel

    where the ground is an insipid seal
    deeper deeper
    into into earth's stye
    you drive me driver
    I reel
    where I wrack where your wheels wrend me
    I grow shell, lye
    I reel

    where your ground teethes
    On my crooked knees,
    My soil bloods, breathes

    I cling to imagined arsons.


    your buoyant sun, reeling:

    the pestilence of today miens my
    morrow, marrow it reels
    turns to flies in the unreigning undertow
    i peel and amend my crimes

    What’s that?

    a dense absence, presence.
    It scurries like orphan.
    It drinks my wounds.
    It ticks
    It tocks
    With idle conversation
    And drawl of line.

    This morning is a malediction.

    I am awake, I thank you for that.


    (There is an area
    unyielding to seeds.
    There is a land
    saved from stories.
    There is a place
    impotent to fires.)

    You catch me.
    I waver like stillborn
    fish, then
    turn moon
    hooked string, hang limp
    into a neutral upward
    into that horrible reeling
    into tapered air
    you reel me,
    boned and skinned
    you steal me,
    near the boring sun
    to sinnerless grievance
    I am sealed
    you suck away my sins, father
    you reeled me
    I hang like an incompetent star


    (the dull endings, the poor motions
    the walks on water.)


    This an end to it.
    This is an awful beginning.
    This is an old wive’s tale.
    This is where the two halves ellipse.

    You were wrong.
    It was not worth the promise.

    “I am that I am.”

    A dog’s head, a deep voice.
    I look on you. You had a familiar face.

    You are bitter, I understand.
    There is too much to say
    and poor story
    to unwanted
    children.

    me vs. god
    you are a mute for the cock-eared dogs
    and I am your waning woman,
    with the witch hair
    and disenchantments
    I am your dilly-dally doldrum
    drum, drum drumming along, dumbly
    in jelly-fish skirts I am
    parasoling my way to your
    eventual
    perfect paternity.

    I am warm bud
    I am stemmed rib
    bead my flesh
    onto triple-stranded pegasuses
    you’ve have none breasts
    or semblance
    only sky-skin
    moss-mouth,
    gaseous pores
    our iconoclastic conceptions
    and loose legacies.

    I’m
    supple, eighteen, hip-shaker
    frocked and lipsticked
    take me to the market, God
    I’m your world’s currency.

    but we both have a uterus, curved
    like bustles or babies
    only yours is visible

    yours is the universe
    yours is man and war
    And creation
    And seasons
    And starvation
    And chess, and all of that
    you are that you are, star
    bastard-maker
    bomber-breeder.
    world-kneader, leader.
    and when I read
    your lyricism I knew


    that word is a skin I can’t pronounce
    but younger,
    I would carve mouths into my skin.
    I wanted to make like your scripture-scribers
    your child, your kin.
    plant me immaculate farmer, I’ll breed you many sons
    make me mary, let’s begin.

    i'm not going to school untill january now. my mom keeps trying to make me feel guilty about it and she acts like i am never going to go to college...(?)....i am an idiot. i fucked up so much. but i think i went crazy when i was a junior in hs. i couldn't sleep or eat much or hold conversations.

    i decided that i want to get fabric markers at my work and draw a creepy-looking inner-anatomy onto a shirt. i was inspired by alex's porcupine-boy and weird animalistic humans that she drew on her skirt. what a great idea.

    i also decided to get a second job. i sort of want to work in a nursery. i think it would be cool if i could learn alot of plant names. then i could relate them to my writing.

    where are all of the dank dudes?

    today i listened to david bowie, wrote, bought a dress and leggings, watched about six episodes of the ali g show with patrick and ate a gross amount of candy. silly, but relaxing.

    it's official. ali g and david bowie are the sexiest dudes ever.

    i'm typing from my family's computer, and i've found pictures of alexandra and patrick from a long time ago and pictures where i look really sad but attractive.

    i'm too tired to post them right now though. i will post them tommarow because i want this little journal right here to be visually stimulating.

    "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
    to the last syllable of recorded time..."

    ahhhhhhhhhhhh..... that speech makes me sink.

    tomarrow is such a beautiful word.

    to morrow. to morrow. the night falls under trap doors
    to morrow the morning
    where the sky begets a sun

    we are caught between tenses.

    your words are hieroglyphics, you had
    lapsed time with tounge
    tasted my mute mouth in
    the shade of a season of ressurection, but I was lost
    in the translation
    of your
    earnest resurgence.

    memory is a current.

    sitting in this room
    time elapses
    like a wake from a reverie
    and you are
    steeping my skin
    again
    you are a tide
    mending time,
    welding horizons.

    word is a skin I cannot pronounce.

    we make slient speak
    gazing through this
    rift of space into
    each other

    the walls shake
    turn tryst
    with the ebb and
    flow of your breath,
    the metrenome of
    our silent
    resounding.

    your eyes are a sonnet.
    I think fondly on the way
    the sun had
    set them
    the day
    you sifted through me
    and dug the sedimentary sentences
    from the folds of my skin.

    I have found the lost language
    laying placid rest
    in the flesh
    of your mouth.

    I want to
    innervate you

    untie your tongue

    make poetry.

    Current Music: i wish i could listen to music now.

    spring is the season of resurgence

    when jesus push the daisies

    the sun sets hereyen this suit-case-world,

    and i wonder why growing children
    trample

    flowers.

    paul is buggin' me
    'cause i've lost my pot. (he said he's "dying.")

    its in the closet somewhere.

    when i was at the bookstore today, i sensed a presence behind me. i was in the poetry section because i wanted to verify one of the bukowski quotes that i had put in my poem earlier. thinking someone had set their eyes downside my dress (a 60's beauty), and concious of myself, i turned around. some dude was looking for kipling.

    i told him to look at a coney island of the mind, the book that made me realize i like poetry. he said, before he finished "Christ Came Down":

    "I went to Brown. I think all that post-modernism stuff is bullshit. They try too hard. I've read five lines and I already know what this poem is about."


    "I went to Brown".... he came off as condescending.
    and pretentious.

    it made me feel anxious. i love that book.

    i saw alexandra today. i missed her when she was at simon's rock..... well, at least someone dropped out of high school to go to college.

    pi is a straight line.

    my mother’s mother
    drew augury onto palms,
    rending line to
    divination:

    “you will live long life
    and have many husbands.”

    but she had a haunted head,
    threw knives at my
    brother.
    8:22 pm
    with the children away
    suburbia, where the trees are severed
    spaces for lawns, saplings.

    In the stagnant space,
    my eyes fall flatly on the front of
    your head

    and I remember when your face
    had skewed my sense of direction,
    setting suns to the east,
    sowing my smooth muscle
    to solvent.

    There is too much monotone.
    It foments in the high ceilings,
    once a forum for echoes.

    Outside, the insipid air,
    I notice that the leaves have wilted.
    (they swallowed the rice.)

    The onset of fall, and
    we are like the landscape.

    A monotone,
    poor chorus.

    (when you yell at me I know)

    “maybe we should fix the vents.”

    (you just want to)

    liven the air.
    8:21 pm
    One of Bukowski's women
    I loved you like a lion loves a Christian.

    your muse,
    I knew you like no other from our
    graceless love dance, that

    brutish ballet, beer breath, and the
    impatient character of your
    selfish
    love-making.

    watching over your shoulder,
    you were clever,
    but rarely brilliant.

    30 poems out of every 400 or so.

    but I knew you were a poet.

    eve
    i remember when you bore me.

    surfacing from your skeleton
    like a limb or an afterthought,
    disease or vestige
    human, helpmate
    bride
    bone (god had grown bored).

    paradise with you was a quiet.
    sowing soils,
    we appropriated four senses
    cultivating the language
    to the sod.

    the new-naming:
    man and woman
    our novel

    monogamy was a
    knowing of no naught,
    no words wore over me as we held each other.

    you were a comfortable silence.

    (but there were nights when
    your arms would unravel, and
    shivering and

    sheath less-
    i slipped from solipsism

    some slithering specimen)

    (,my own
    shameful monogamy:

    a tingling neath my navel-
    unnamed and unmattered
    muddled our matrimony.)

    when satan spoke,

    certain were my suppositions
    (the seven gods the ceaseless senses)

    sin is succulent.

    i wanted to taste a fiction.

    shut the story,

    live and let learn
    to
    bear
    6:21 pm
    are all the mother fuckers ready for the father fuckers?
    !peaches is comming!

    i sort of want to rock a fake beard at the concert.

    do you think i would look sexy with facial hair?

    yo you gots more bush on yo tush than i gots around my mush.....

    gushy gushy gush don't tell me to shush





    Current Music: "OH BONDAGE! UP YOUR'S!!!!!!!!"
    1:04 pm
    we lay like this:

    due west procession through the
    sky-streets

    a parade of creeping conviction
    that kneads your eye color, soft
    like our
    idle tongues.

    this quiet is a sieve for honesty,
    i think, as i weave euphemisms into your hair,

    still waiting for the photosynethesis

    the serration of silence.

    Current Music: i can hear paul through the floorboards.
