I take photos that I like to imagine as good. I create shit that I like to think means something. I haven't figured out what to do with myself yet, so stay tuned, perhaps I can entertain you with the notion of happiness.

 

Regarding Your Disruption of My Life

Sipping mocha silently

This trendy coffee shop falls

Slips down the walls of the city

Through antique shops and banks alike

She falls slowly, sliding down

Down into the city’s mist

Through shuffling streets and suspicious tweets

Through grace and through sin

Through love and hate again

She drops, she falls

Losing windows, losing walls

Losing everything but those inside

The promiscuous businessmen

The hipsters only sin

The free form jazz and

Empty trash bins

The screams of the singer drowned

By self righteousness

By poets

By deaf critics

And movie addicts

And I look across to you

And see the empty seat

Where were you for my fall

You never caught my leap

My throw

My blows

The heterosexual musings of me

And then the table squeaks

Baristas talk

And the hipsters eat

The businessmen are not distracted

My feelings yell, detracted

Detracted by the myths

That spread forth, from fingertips

The musings of your mind

Have canceled that of mine

I scream I yell

No one though sends help

The gay men flirt

The businessmen leave

No tears fall to their sleeves

Yet mine and mine alone

Swim in the ocean dark

Dark of sorrow

Void of light

Unyielding to hope

And I glance at thee again

Still gone still disappeared

Still completely unaware

That how I feel and how I felt

Together do combine

My feelings less they shine

And drip and fall away

Like Slingers did today

When the shop no longer stayed

Rooted to the ground,

Planted in the dirt

But still spins round and round

On the axis of this earth

My mocha has grown cold

Like love of you so old

Still I wake up yawning

Wonder what these are still drawing

Hearts inside my head

No one but me does dread

That what I’ve done and what I do

Might ne’er bring me back to you

Or maybe I’ll still fall

Like this coffee shop through walls

Through streets, through all the silent feats

Of strength and of soul

There’s none left in the bowl

Of which I sipped so softly.

Mischief Managed.

I remember my grandma giving me the first book. I remember zooming through it, then picking up one after another and speeding through them. I remember catching up to Rowling and having to wait in anticipation for the next book. I remember the first movie, the magical feeling it created inside of me, just like the books. I remember all my friends loving all of Harry Potter just as much as I did. It was a bond that it seemed our entire age range could share. And share we did, 10 years later here we are, the last movie, not the breaking of the bond, but a certain strengthening of it. If a book can bond a grade then anything can, it’s not just about magic, it’s about friendship and love, and if we can show and support and love for love, then we can do just about anything.
