UPS passes by every day
a knock at the skin door opens my breast plate
every peril is invited
walk into my chest and sit down on the lonley stool
in the middle of light and dark with trobbing walls
you proclaim and pronounce, state and spill
i take all your fears, sadness, weakness, and pain
puke up the bad thoughts as it absorbs into the warmth between the floor boards
this confessional never echos one word that has been spoken
when your basket is empty, your smile is reflected
get up and leave as the dropped stones compress the internal spring
more weight is added to the duck taped boxes
stored where they are felt every day but never seen
someone should mail these packages,
I am only the keeper and soon all my space will be filled
no place for my pictures or band-aids
one of a kind, there is no one to take mine
the spring compresses but the door is always open
the thought of spontanous combustion is not enough to stop
as long as the wings are above me
i'll continue to make sparks and light up the world

what is nature, gods hand at work
the bad is a problem, the good is fortune
in need of help, wanting to blame and easy to point
nothing but pain and unexplained is given to him
daily life and living does not care
notice what is there but you dont see
make an effort to not try
feel the light and the dark two sides
know that they are both truth
believe not past nor future because they dont exist
dont judge, dont think, dont know
whats is right is inside
feel do listen no matter to question
what is going to happen has already changed your life
the action in the past is no action now
think and wonder not why
why not?

********************************************************************

where is that switch to my mind
that there is no defined line
even when i stop
my head does not
shut it down turn it off
let peace enter
but i try to hard
think about everything
the noise has no volume
alas it is not just noise
to bear this gift
my mind is contained
this body of pain
i am the world
yet i am only one
*********************************************************************

You’re a friend in a haystack
You’re a friend in a haystack
You’re a friend in a haystack
Cause you walking around blind
With a needle in your eye
I hope you don’t hope to die
I hope you don’t hope to die
I hope you don’t hope to die
Cause my heart is crossed
My heart is crossed

*********************************************************************
Hey, you people from everywhere
I’m wearing underwear on my, head
You think you got problems well
I’m wearing underwear on my, head
I don’t like to brag but
It’s clear to see just how insane I, am
With all this underwear there is
No where left to go but to white, walls
These walls, oh these walls,
Seem to get closer and closer each day
But at least I got my underwear
On my head everywhere
Smothered in underwear

Arrg, I dont know why blogger is being wierd and not posting the rest of my writing. If you want to read the rest of it just go to the archives on the left, and click on the one that has december 6th in it. How rude of blogger to do this...I'll be posting picures of us in the snow on the pic site and the other one. Im trying to keep up with it all, but I recently lost my VCU ID card so its been pretty crappy trying to get a new one...maybe I shouldnt have thrown that orange, cause thats when I think I dropped it. Oh well, theres nothing I can do but strech foreward and forget about my woes...P.S. I dyed one of my dreads a funky dark redish color, but the color blends with the brown of my hair anway, meaghan says it looks like a bloody tampon but I'd like to think of it as butt cleavage...wait... i hate butt cleavage, more like Armandex (copywrited bye mike entertainment)..which is Armani Spandex.

The first snow fall in Richmond was great. December 4, and we got a couple of inches with a nice glazeing of ice too. The ice is fun to eat, and i found the largest Icecicle in the city, a whoping 2 and a half feet long...estimated of course. I had fun sticking my toung to various poles, but it never got stuck..darn! The everyone was outside in Monroe Park having the biggest snowball fight in the world...there was like 1,028 people out there..according to Lauren. But we all had fun,me meaghan lauren and maggie wallked around a bit, watching all the funny and stupid people. It was like a huge riot, with gang wars. Crazy. Evey time the snow plows went by everyone threw snow balls at it and screamed for them to go home..then meaghan drew a pig (demented pig) in the snow on the back of a police car...we kept making random people look at it, but i dont think they understood. All I can say is that I had fun, and its goin to be a story that im goin to tell my grand kids.....when they ask "Pappy, whats snow look like? (because global warming would make snow extinct)..and I would say "gather around kids, Pappy is gonna tell ye all a true story...back in the day of my college years, there was a great big snow storm..with snow mounds 10 feet tall..we were swimming in a sea of snow, thats how i lost my pinky toe..and i vowed to get revenge upon this great white monster. I batteled hard and long until we were both out of energy, and alas, it the battle was finished...but the war was far from over. I then shouted out: It may take our pinky toes, but it will never take out FREEDOM!"
