Bare spines

Sharing

made bare and vulnerable with your earnestness

Feels like fog

If only the one voice that matters would still.

Then the relentless, slave-driver lashing would stop.

Perhaps, then there will be peace.

I am: A Note to Daddy

I made a model of you.

I have always been afraid of you.

burn, burn, burn I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.

But the gods are fallen and all safety gone.

I took a deep breath

and

listened to the old brag of my heart: I am, I am, I am.

Daddy, daddy, 

I’m through.

I'm not good.

I am, I am, I am

born in fury

burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding

I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another mad to live mad to talk mad to be saved desirous of everything at the same time

till i drop

the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world

I am, I am , I am.

If ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest’ not.

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple:

I took a deep breath

Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I’m through.

I’m through.

Journalism Sucks

Things that grind my gears - poor journalism.

Case in point? How a tweet from Robert Kardashian Jr. about law school with USC tags gets reported by multiple news sources (including USA Today and Huffington Post) as legitimate news. Only problem is that USC Gould School of Law has NOT accept Kardashian. He has not even applied to USC Law.

This means that these news sources didn't even bother checking with the University, and some still have not updated their stories to reflect the official response from the University. Irresponsible.
