so much for

giving up freewriting...

night #2

it would be wrong
to assume
that i am capable
of sinking
but science has proved
i am unable
to fly
i'm looking for
the spelling of a word
listed somewhere between
idealism and
jealousy.

"danielle,
you can only be jealous
of people."

"really?
then watch me cry
over the dictionary.
i envy
meaning
and all her
constituents."



i've been sketching this out
for months
patience is a virtue
but failure is what grace is for
i've been waiting
to finish this off,
engraved,
it's about time i learned:
the wise man will bite his tongue
while i seek instability
to cry between lines
practice makes perfect
practice makes perfect
practice makes perfect
as if words actually
made pictures
sometimes there are reasons
for admitting
language is an excuse
for reality.
