| whenever i see animals struggling,
in pain, or dead, i start to cry, and never
forget them. i can't remember the name
of a man that i made love to, but i
remember baby birds who have
fallen from their nests.. |
| |
| i do terribly stupid things while
intoxicated. i need to learn how to
control myself. learn how to take care
of myself. take charge of my drunk.
so that i never wake up in an unfamiliar place
with an unfamiliar man ever ever again. |

| we had made love twice already.
you were fast asleep, i woke
up at seven and had the hardest time
falling back asleep. i thought to
myself how badly i could use
a cigarette. and as i studied
your face and ran my hands along
your chest, i thought of how similar
you are to this smoking habit of mine.
impossible to quit, something i relish,
i enjoy, but not something i want to be
involved with past the age of twenty seven. |

| 
i will never understand anything that life
throws my way, but i will always
laugh right back in his face. |

| i was arrested last night. while attending
palmerfest at my university, there was a fire
started in the middle of palmer street. a bunch
of silly frat boys carried a couch on their backs
towards the fire, and my friends and i watched in
shock, and a bit of terror. we were holding beers,
as everyone would be at a festival of this proportion.
people were chanting, "ou, ou, ou," acting as if they were
raging for a cause other than being drunk off their ass.
we started to run away from the fire. we could see
the police waiting for permission from whoever
was in charge of them to break the riot apart.
as i walked into the yard of a friend of mine's house
on palmer, i saw a strange looking woman grab a hold of
lisa. i saw the woman take a badge out of her pocket,
and lisa proceeded to put her hands behind her back.
i tried to save her, grab her from them. but the man
that was in the company of this woman began to
hand cuff lisa and i together. i started crying,
they took us to the back of a church parking lot.
lisa began to sing regina spektor, which put me at ease.
i held her hand. we giggled together. we were too drunk
to question our arrest. just signed
a paper and went on our merry way. |
