dear daya new blank documentdespair knocks

I don<t have to answer

the rings of agehave told mewhen 

loss, hope and triumph

are in attendance

they save me a place

a space

beside what it takes

to be a hoop dancer the moon is full it is a marvellous journey

I stand at the edge  of the continent looking out

mundane is out of the question

but, what is the next step

just the other day i was having a conversation with jamie about old fashion typewriting, how you had to use special white out to erase a mistake (and it never ever looked great), and use carbon paper to make

multiple ;copies, as opposed to the immediacy of modern technologies....

AND today just by strolling in thompkins square park on a warm sunny sundae

the end of june, we happened upon thhis typewriter project....at first we

spotted the small wooden booth from across the park wondering if it was the

smallest cafe ever, but to our happy surprise it was this wonderful project....

i love the use of scrolled paaper ala kerouas c.....wonder what he would think of

this.........danielle

i often wonder type hardermy pretentious brain is burdened by my lack of inspiration in this moment

i know that i have the capacities to write something profound although 

all i can think about its is the pretty girl in the black dress in front

of me. She keeps me from wallowing. She keeps me from bottling. She takes

me to safe place at home in her arms, in her shorts because i forgot mine at

home. I just want her to be proud of what i write, but all i can do is

think of her here now. i love her. her name: Tallie.

our pace replaces the rapport of poor suitors before him; engaged in the verbal trade of traditional courtingi find myself enraptured by his relatively new approachof pacing himself intellectually and physically with a woman that will push his provacative sexual poaching of men before him my sister is pressuring me to finish this poem so I end it here it is always worth it 

i need to type harder i need to think softer

my mind slow and my heart races when i think of him i want right now and forever at the same time

and you said 'yes.'

I hope someday you'll let me hold your hand again.

i sti sstruggle wi whoops!I envy all the mothers of the world- fish, amoebas, trees, who can reproduce and move on, not giving any more thought to its offspring than to its last meal. they get to reproduce, carry out their biological job, and then carry out their own lives, uninterrupted.

Ephesians 6:14-17Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,vand with your feet fitted with  the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to  all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish  all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of  salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. -- Graffiti Church member
