Set the clock, wind it back
days march to an unclear beat
divide, multiply, and writhe
like a petri dish in heat
made my salt-stained way
over deserts of concrete
muddy stretching out to dry
Infant oceans on the street
every end a tidal wave
lapping at my threadbare feet
If you were here I would have noticed the sky
You'd have outlined maps and dreams that I
like to keep around
like a photograph in black and white
that guards your memory safe and sound
something to sleep to, eyes shut tight
assured by ink and paper glazed
"just watch the calendar"
try to separate the days
rebellion reeks of connotation, so I'l
I am not your typical muse
Wrought with hard edges
not passive and beautiful but
rigorous and calculating
Not your soft smiling
beckoning inspiration
nor mirrored in your creations
as a veiled, anemic parody of myself
Instead I am a driving force
the blood and bone
the forest for the trees
not so much a nymph
as a god

I got in. All but one of my classes starts at 8:30 inna morning. Boo.
Also it has been suggested by the proprietor that I leave my home and I have done so.
Bit off maybe more than I can chew this term, we'll see.
I got so much done today, everything on my list almost. Accomplishment lends me little comfort.
Sad and tired, tired and sad.
