I would like to learn geometry, I would like to be able to sing, I would like to paint you in a hundred words or less.
I ran out of paint and I also ran out of words. Looks like we're fucked.
Instead, I'd like my heart to stop jack hammering when I wake up. Some people call this love, others call this fear, doctors call this anxiety. I call it my personal alarm clock and it's how I know my heart still works.
Maybe I should see a doctor or a counselor or a therapist. But instead, I'd like to have someone teach me about the lifespan of lilacs or the railroad industry or how to to do math correctly.
I'm no good at long division or drawing parallel lines. I'm always a remainder in someone's equation but our lines will somehow crisscross eventually. I was never good at using a compass but from some reason I'm always spinning circles in my head when I wake up.
Let's take geometry class one more time so we can learn how to turn these circles into straight lines.

i'm sick
i knew infectious diseases to have statistics, medication and survival rates
not quaky lungs, thick eyelashes and calloused fingers
i expected a rash or a popped blood vessel or abdominal pain
but i got bumper car thoughts and feelings with spikes
i did get trouble breathing, a headache and sore feet
but i think that's from holding my breath, following untamed solutions and chasing after you again
i also got pain
and i reckon this kind is out of morphine's expertise
but i don't know if that's a symptom
or a long term side effect from all the ways i tried to save you
maybe the statistics are all the times i mistook you as a cure
and all the t

Snare
& she prefered her hind leg caught in those
greedy teeth
her trapp-ed-ness : her happiness
his puncture marks & their bittersweet ooze
to hold her; to let her
in her last moments
belong to him
Literature
Apocalypta
Dawn breaks soft,
You are sun glare
in the rearview;
and I, the heavy mist
ahead
on a road that forgets to end.

I don't even know what this is about.

Lilacs can live over a 100 years, and some have been thought to be over 350.
A circle is just a series of straight lines- how many depends on the radius.
A simple and nostalgic poem that I really enjoyed reading. There is so much truth here about how many things there are that we want to do, yet do not, letting life get in the way- which is ironic considering that life is about learning.
And this line- "I'm always a remainder in someone's equation" - arguably, the best and most thought provoking.
