Ok - thought I'd show anyone who cares another poem I've been working on:
Your Daughters Stone
Your daughter must
give you this stone.
Its dull and gray,
only she knows
to carry it home.
Placed against the skin
youll never shiver.
Placed in the mouth
youll never lie.
Hold it in your hand
while you write
and youll never
need to revise.
Its greatest power
is revealed
only when the stones
returned to her.
Shell wed, be happy,
outlive you by years.
She takes it from
your opened hand.
(After re-reading the Stone Poems by Richard Hugo)
I should probably add Richard Hugo as one of my favorite writers.
I had a minor scare today - I was having these spasms in my chest and went to have an EKG. My Dad's had heart problems, as did my great grandfather and some of my uncles, so I don't f-around with hear stuff. EKG was fine though
I still don't know what's wrong - I'll find out on Friday.
On a lighter note - I can't get enough of the Best of Dinosaur Jr., Matthew Sweet's Altered Beast Album or the Afghan Whigs last two albums. They make it a helluva lot easier to ride the elliptical exercise machine at 5 in the f'in AM
Take care.

My history senior seminar class is on Modern Art. So, because the prof is a bit pompous, we have to create an art project to learn "the difficulties of artistic expression." Not that I wouldn't do that on my own time anyway...so I'm doing a painting of some sort, though I have been tempted to go to class naked and covered in mustard...
