Usually past midnight
Empty streets, journey
Streetlights breaking the darkness.
~~~
Wanderers, storytellers
We’re invaders of space
Under fluorescent store lights.
~~~
Similar to being high;
Remembering how to feel,
Laughter that intoxicates.
~~~
Grocery bags with loot –
Stop to lounge on a curb –
New kind of college party,
avoiding the mainstream.
~~~
Lone cars pass as strangers
We’ll inhale cookie dough
Chase down cold sodas
Talk of everything, nothing;
life with close friends.

Literature
defeathered
and this is where we bury our hearts,
between self-defeating personality disorders
and burnt bridges and midnight ramblings
we promise ourselves aren’t true;
embedding our memories in forsaken homes
like it is a conscious decision to shed
our wings (reptiles don’t fly)
and maybe I am the monster of every
myth: wide-eyed and jagged toothed and
looking to regain a piece of myself the
world borrowed, many moons ago
as I falter and stumble over my own unaware
feet, wreaking havoc, reeking of self-acquittal--
all I ever wanted to do was belong.
dreams are flaws much like the hearts we
flaunt on our sleeves, and I seem to

Literature
to be a waste of grey matter with no self-esteem
forgive these
rorschach nerves &
mercury veins -
i am no tragedy boy,
but i have self-decay
down to an art.
this tar tongue only starts
marlboro conversations &
self-ignition;
i only start fires.
Literature
Vaguely heart-shaped
. In another universe, who I am
gets dumped by a woman
who in another life
was Cleopatra.
Today I divine this by finding a small blackened potato
between my oven and counter,
vaguely heart-shaped, sprouting
pale arteries
of no use to me,
I think on an inexplicably dramatic
whim.

Haiku of the Week: September 22-28
Again, not a concrete format for haiku poetry. Deal with it. I like this free verse version + a slight bit of structure. The opposite, I like to think, of the last time I did a Haiku of the Week. Based on an ongoing friendship with good people, good times, instead of breaking off a friendship. Significantly better feeling. But yeah, we really party hardcore.
Content based on a late night earlier in that week. Some the wording inspired partially by this status update referring to the event, from my friend Jake:
"Years from now when I look back at my college life, I wont remember crazy parties, or getting wasted, or being arrested, or the hazing and pranks or any of the other stereotypical college memories. I will remember all the late nights sitting on a curb and eating cookie dough and string cheese talking about the mysteries of the universe with my closest friends.
