… Something of mine, for a change …

Green Eyes, Rainy Days
.
Through the half-closed shades of your bedroom window,
a tree on the corner waits, hovers.
.
Its brown leaves signal a change in seasons, a change in weather. I shiver.
You say, “The leaves will be colors soon, look,
they’re turning already”
.
I can (almost) taste
the changing of the leaves, the [...]
The aftermath of a breakup is strange territory. Strange, because it tells you where you’ve been, and what you’ve really been doing, and how much you felt, and what, if anything, was real - and all this at the end, instead of the beginning when you really needed it. Hindsight. 20/20. Yadda.
It’s almost like the [...]
I’m suffering some kind of terminal whiplash; in grad school all we talked about was the meaning of life, the meaning of art, the meaning of culture.
And then, just the other day, an Art conversation with an ex-engineer manager friend:

I am 19 and attending university, and my major requires me to take an advanced writing course. I’ve already taken an advanced short story course, and screenwriting doesn’t appeal. I sign up for a late morning class titled “Advanced Poetry Workshop,” taught by a stunningly handsome poetry prof in his late forties. [...]
Listening to: Armin Van Buuren, Kenny Burell.
In highschool I took French and Spanish at the same time. At the beginning, this was largely motivated - as I remember - by my mother and my sister throwing a (very) few French words around; I wasn’t going to get left out later on. So [...]
A short update on Things: No, I don’t have a place to live past January 20th.
Yes, I’m aware that’s this Sunday, as in, the day before I start work, as in, five days from today.
Yes, I expect to find a place!
No, I haven’t turned in that big final project.
