I.

where have you gone now?

II.

standing in a room with everyone once so lovely, now so cheap.
with their pants down around their ankles and their eyes: so vacant.

"did you get all the pretty presents that you wanted?"

did you? did you?
did you get the pretty presents?
can you feel the petty present?

"this is ___. you must know him. you live in the same squabble town. haven't you met him on the train?"

underground, underwater? in the bell jar? in the beehive? in the bar?

"can't you breathe? is the knife too shallow?
let me put it in -

deeper, deeper."

III.

let's strangle each other to death!

"your neck so thin."
"your hands so strong."

(the kind of neck i'd love to choke. the kind of girl i'd love to stroke).

IV.

Didn't you want me all at once? Don't you?

Don't you love me? Don't you?

Why not? Why not? Why not?

I know I want you, but I'm waiting my turn.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and Georgia all in 24 hours.

Woke up smiling. After a very long, challenging semester, a week of finals, and a last minute road trip… I am finally heading home.

Hallelujah!

so deeply saddened and angered by the events in Newton, CT today. my prayers, tears, and heart are with those families, children, staff, and public service members.


the world's brokenness weighs heavy on me today.

He soon felt that the fulfillment of his desires gave him only one grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. This fulfillment showed him the eternal error men make in imagining that their happiness depends upon the realization of their desires.
