ice

pink ribbon and surprised grins
we win!

goodbyes and new lives
we lie!

waiting for Godot and I haven't met him yet
memorizing Thoreau and playing hard to get
we had an odd sort of ambiance in the
coffee-scented air
and this is where, where
we said our prayers.

i still wish you'd tell me everything
i wish you could understand
i want the world for you and her
i want you to find a plan
i hope you can continue on the path to perfection

well-coiffed is only part of it.

little black boxes hold forethought
which, for once, i have; take this of me.

this is my new favorite thing you've ever written ever.

p.s. my sad thing wasn't actually about me, it was just a collection of phrases i thought up. so do not despair!

haha. i was thinking of just never posting a new poem again, and seeing if i could get 100 agitated comments on that one.

i like this. what are the black boxes?
