4 years too many
trapped in a desk again
words roll off
where does practicality begin?
I learn about books
not about lives.
Words leave distance between me,
and my emotions.
Must I choose between living and listening?
God I'm so confused.
In this night, in the dim light,
with music to dim senses,
and words to dim wit.
These essays, the bane of my existance
proving nothing but verbosity.
Mere letters, burnable, shredable,
absolutely destructable,
won't even mark my passing for an instant.
Who am I kidding?
The stars laugh.
Memories.
Oh childhood frivolity...
Who was I to mock your wisdom?

My brother and I

my brother and I,
we're bright,
but like christmas lights,
we're two completely different colors...
and sometimes I blink in and out of brighness, I confess.
He's so brilliant, numbers to him are nothing,
books he devours,
and physics is a joy,
but hand him an emotion, and he'll try to calculate it,
with puzzling results.
My red to his green,
emotions, I can handle,
conflict's a breeze,
a born mediator,
novels dance in my head,
but math? No joy there.
Two peas in a pod, side by side,
growing up, he was there,
in both peices of a broken home,
he was my constant.
Now we're supposed to go live as individuals?
No fair,
considering he forgets to consider
that he should actually reach out of his head sometimes
and find other people.
So hard to drag him out of his world these days,
I miss him,
adventures in the woods with pointed sticks
and dreams of Narnia.
I look up to him, but only by a few inches,
I swear I'll catch up someday.
Such a complimenting close kinship,
seems rare in turbulent times,
but he's still my brother,
and sometimes we still adventure,
my brother and I.

Here's a kid's song I've been working on for a while too... just to add to the late night festivities... 2:25 here...

my duck, he won't eat tofu,
but my duck might come eat you!
My duck is green and bumpy,
with a large mouth full of teeth!
My duck is an ALLIGATOR today!

My duck is so very special,
my duck could be anything!
Can you help me guess what creature,
my duck is and help me sing!

My duck, he won't eat tofu,
but my duck will eat bamboo!
My duck is black and white
and you can find him in the zoo!
My duck is a PANDA here for you!

and that's as far as I've gotten....

WHEEE.

I'm a tad loopy.
