XI. Moments of Many Loves

We had reached open waters. All the darkness in which we dwelt, the problems that had transpired, seemed as though it were behind us. We set out with the wind on our backs and our face turned towards the new challenges ahead. We stood together.

This solidarity arrived in the wake from the implosion of another friend's relationship. It's interesting...

I just reread this and I wish I had as much clarity with words as you do about the past. I'm envious.

As for tickets to the current saga, there is one less act, as I just got off the phone with Mono Boy. We chatted for 45 mins. and it felt as if I was speaking to the cardboard cutout version of him. I said that life is too short to be around people who aren't super double awesome.

Usually the antagonists and the foils are obvious to me and this time I'm not so sure.....

What follows is something written long ago, it's actually the same story posted on my website with hefty changes for the purposes of reading aloud. I hadn't looked at it since I read it and I hadn't thought about it. But it was a fairly evocative piece that with a bit more spit could be worth something to my name.

Lastly, and the most important...

I like to think the few years I was engaged..practically married taught me a lot about the wrongs and the to do's about life in terms of relationships. I also pretend to read most of your post when im drunk.

Recalling Mediocrity

I lay awake with the pale ache of mediocrity
Late night, lucid dreams
sold to me from my blaring, monolithic screen.
I am informed of my inadequacies,
over sold on the possibilities,
and I have never been in touch with reality.
I am a perpetual adolescent.
Arrested before I could develop.

If I act now they'll throw in humility
with all my guaranteed...

Haha, when we were sitting around in the courtroom waiting for the bride and groom to do paperwork in another room, we were joking that their life could be a sitcom.

If I ever get a hold of any of those pics, I might post some wink

Two poems, exhumed from the dead of an old notebook with revisions.
Two poems, presenting two stories to provide some balance.


Codependent

I have failed to listen
I have turned my head aside
Your mouth moves to lip-synced words
Your words clichd with each passing lie

I have sold myself into this slavery
I have sealed my own fate
Your poorly dressed web holds me...

Bwahahaha. Awesome. biggrin

That is seriously a freaky picture. I found it randomly while looking for something else.

I need to write for myself again. It's nice to find old notebooks at random.

I'm like retardedly anti-social and never know when I'll muster up the strength to leave the house and enter the 206.
But maybe passing on the fun that is Drawn to Life is just the kick in the pants I need. Okay then, next do-hickey that sounds cool, I'll be there, game in hand.
