creative writing exercises for school

these assignments were do some time ago, but i didn't get a chance to turn them in -- grrrr.


seperation

your absence has gone through me
like soda through a carpet
the fizz in gone, the stain remains

doesn't he realize
doesn't he realize
that i am not
like the friendly yellow Lab
in his training class
click, treat, click, treat
sit, stay. heal.

you fit into me
like a nail into a wall
a fingernail, an artery wall

you fit into me
like a disc into a DVD player
it's Gigli

nose has been broken
blood pools in big red circles
but i won the fight

el wray
i am the too-heavy slipper
the accidental vacuum
the smell of something rotten in denmark
a too-short escort
i've swallowed your pride for you
i am the fuzzy nipple
the scattered toupee
the taste of makeup and kibble
a lip too big
i've lost my way and found home

easter (according to scraps of paper on my desk)
we need some help here
in god we trust
i agree to pay the above total
redemption
join us march 8th, 2008 for the bunny hop

little.

i wanna go back
hopscotch, rain coats,
jump-ropes, jacks
and play

umbrella.

today was an ass day.
but, because i don't exactly feel like rehashing all the little things that accumulated into "assness," i'll just give you the short list:
  1. i'm broke
  2. i hate school
  3. my throat is sore
  4. i'm broke
but, oh well. i have a new blog, and it'll make me feel all better.
i don't even know why i started this thing, 'cause lord knows i don't usually have any bright ideas or valid insights on current events. shit, i'm not even gonna use capital letters.

but it's mine. and it's bright and shiny and new.

i think maybe i'll use this blog to do my creative writing. shit always gets started on crusty old napkins and inbetween class notes -- but i never do anyting with it.

eh.

i've written something already, and that's all i really wanted to do tonight anyway.

i'll figure the rest out later.

love, love
