scribbles

it’s a figure of speech
tip me over and pour me out
see?
everybody's doing a brand new dance now
come on, baby

distracted in hunt library, listening to sufjan stevens

see them

shut away neatly arranged sitting in stacks between forgotten hours

spent categori- analy- philosophiZING sculpted and laid out on pages no one's touched for years

heads bowed in prayer to all unknown founts of knowledge

poring over melodic lines

pouring over mellowed winding paths into the dank and dusty future

beauty too tragic to be summarized here: self-pity

where does youth (butter)fly away to?

cradled in careful shadows out of sunlight

blinking before (en)light(enment)

reassure me. if it was loud here along with dark

and crowded

if pressed upon not by books and intelligensia

no, by hearts beating in time

how would we be?

next time

next time

Hooray, Spring Break soon!

And hooray also for God's perfect timing - and his really interesting sense of humor! Yeah, real funny
