the end of national poetry month

in honor of national poetry month, i present you with: Edge by Sylvia Plath
The woman is perfected.
Her dead
Body wears the smile of accomplishment,
The illusion of a Greek necessity
Flows in the scrolls of her toga,
Her bare
Feet seem to be saying:
We have come so far, it is over.
Each dead child coiled, a white serpent,
One at [...]

you can’t take it back

this morning, before i came to work, i dropped my entry for the Speakeasy contest into the mailbox. just thinking about it sort of makes my stomach hurt. this is the first time i’ve tried for something in a long, long time. wish me luck, i really, really, really, really need it.

wondering what to get your most favorite internet sweetheart for her birthday? if you don’t want to send beautiful orange flowers (which is what i want) you can get me the Searching for Inspiration Spiral Notebook, because i really, really want this too.

my latent nesting instinct

i dream of throw pillows.
when i got home from work yesterday, i cleaned my stove. it was gross. while taking breaks from various other kitchen cleaning type activities, i searched the internet for coffee tables.
ever since i ordered my swanky new couch, i’ve been possessed by suzy homemaker. i fantasize about red chairs and matching [...]

mars bonfire

“i just love the way you always call him fucker,” the TTHM said, making him the winner of the best line for the day. . . though bonnie came close with her weird west-wing speak about the alleged new snuffleupagus who always wears black. but that was a you had to be there type conversation.
also, [...]

snuffie II on the prowl

sources close to me tell me that there’s another freakishly tall, somewhat cute guy that works here. i have yet to lay eyes on him, perhaps he will have to become snuffleupagus II. i saw the first snuffie, really tall, really married, really not my type at all. i am eager about this SII, because [...]

i don’t feel like being cohesive

A. sometimes i think iwilldare.com needs its very own message board, but then i think then it would be entirely more work than i’m willing to do.
B. i need a story idea, anyone got one?
C. last night i told the TTHM how my parents used to have a buddha statue and they would always hide [...]

irrepressible

my face is wearing that kind of smug grin that makes me look like i’m up to something. i can’t seem to keep the grin down, it just keeps popping up - even though i’m really quite tired. the face today is all about giving me away.
though i’m not sure there’s a lot to give [...]

my love’s in jeopardy

i just had to have a very frank, heart-to-heart conversation with webboy. for those of you following along at home webboy is a co-worker who used to sit next to me until they moved him all the way over to the west side of the building. webboy and i had great fun all the time. [...]

locked out

today i am locked in the little box i keep inside myself. a place you will never get to see, and that’s probably a good things because it’s sort of cold and dark in there. tonight is my last night of class, and that makes me sad too. i would give all the money i [...]

it’s called branches

another story done. i didn’t think this one would ever get out of me. i think i worried it entirely too much. but now, i can go to bed with a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

victory is mine

THIS JUST IN: i think i have conned the artguy to move in next door. it probably won’t happen, because to move you gotta get a blessing from the pope AND the dali lama, but you know just the idea that he’s enterataining it is victory enough.

all by myself

i’m still in somewhat of a funk today, and no matter what, i can’t seem to cajole myself out of it. i’m blaming it on all this fucking grey. grey walls where the web team used to sit, grey clouds, and unbeknownst to me, i dressed myself all in grey.
yesterday shannon told me i [...]

youch

i just rubbed my eye with a finger that was recently coated with Burt’s Bees beeswax lip balm. i don’t suggest you try this at home. i’m hoping my right eye stops crying before my 11 o’clock meeting.
