spanish bands use all the echo
persian kitties better stay out of the train
glad you brought your food on
eat it like it's gonna get a way
this coffee sure is getting colder
the seats are getting fewer
space is losing place
you could win a rabbit
you could blow an island through the rib
rabbit or a habit?
habit or a rib?

i looked out the window, first at the changing sea and then a bird flitting across the yard to a limb. i watched the new grass coming.
i left my chamber and went into another, looking out that window to the west. i watched fat little robins tweet at each other and bigger starlings eating bird seed from the feeders in the trees. so many trees which i love. i was watching the world and trying to find the small things. everything is small here but the smallest ones are the best parts.
but the place you are. when you see it and it makes you feel small and this place, big, it at least gives me a sensation of "i can't wait to see the rest of you. in your entirety."
i want to meet the world and breathe every air there is.
sit in trees and take pictures of birds, watch the sky change every day and be a part of the way things are without interference to see how nice it is.
british sea power and kimya dawson, for now.

"I like how you never forget to mention."
thanks the most for noticing.
Don't ever forget anything. That's a favor I, P.S. Devereaux, am asking you. What I'm trying to do is actually very listen to what I'm reading and to what people say. Remember that we want people to appreciate our words as much as they want us to appreciate theirs.
I spoke with p last night and fell asleep before her next message which made me feel awful. I knew i was going to fall asleep I kept it pointed up so the light would beam like a lighthouse and I could see through my eyelids. Guess not.
The best you can do is to just let things be. Impatience doesn't help anyone just keep yourself occupied read a book learn something you want to learn go for a walk. as much as you want to pull the tab and release the hook you have to let go anyway. as much as you want to pull it you can't.
"keep on keeping on" b has been saying this for as long as i can remember. i don't know even where he got it. like everything it came from somewhere.
quite a full day so empty so full so both so nothing so everything.
like a balloon. or a ghost.

tonight is a night for simon & garfunkel. they are the best.
i'm going to be writing soon. i haven't done this in a little while.
i hope it's like bike riding. i don't know why i'm so scared. it's not that i'm scared, i just don't know what will happen. i want to see.
i want to see everything and every you, and i want you to know that i want you to see me as well. wishing well wishing you well.
and now a word from our sponsor!
to young poets:
stop rhyming. you have talent, just don't feel so obliged to rhyme!!
