sideways waves
I have too many confessions for you to hold
too many in succession for the bold
wait for me while i find my way
stand with me while i rock and sway
because baby I’m dizzy
your hitting me sideways
and i can’t see straight
you’re this steady beat
slow like the blues
like one I wanna hold my breath for
so no sounds may lure
me away from you

mmmmm
sometimes there are no words
no words
i think of you, and only
a hum escapes
i deny it and deny it
yet i can’t keep this sound in me
it leaks out
like water in my palm
you’re mmmmm
and that’s all i can say.
Cards
Love is this crazy card game
left up to chance
with rules and norms
lips hugs and hands
Love is this crazy card game
of hierarchy and simplicity
yet complicated beyond measure
in it’s idiosyncrasies
Love is this crazy card game
with expectations and illusions
and even when we think we’re in unison
only one of us wins the game.

Time Management
I’ve really got an issue with time management. Everyday it seems that all plans collide. Unfortunately, I have the daunting tasks of choosing between plans, which makes me feel like I’m choosing between people. Choosing between friends, family, and more friends. Figuring out who you can clump together, and who have to stay apart. Making sure people feel comfortable, making sure people...
infatuation
You wear me out
in the best possible way
I can hear everything
in the things you don’t say
you take my hand
with all the softness in your heart
melting like sand
in a world rich with warmth
the creases in our hands
connecting like Legos
realizing than
that I never want to let go
Note to self
Don’t tell your bosses you like to shred. They will exploit it.
I am a robot
I feel like a robot when I’m at work. I am almost sure that a robot could potentially take over my job.Think about it, you don’t have to continually pay a robot to come in. You don’t have to have staff meetings for robots. You don’t have to have International day for robots. Fuck, you don’t even have to talk to robots. It’s overbearing to feel as if you are...

It surprises me
that feelings are arising in me
even though you’ve been gone
for years at sea
waters Andrea-free
a tug at my collar
a lump in my throat
watching for your boat
while my body sinks
and yours can’t help but float
I’ve realized,
through the lies
that you’ve got a fish hook
in my heart
when I couldn’t look
you stuck it in,
allowing me never...

Computer Illiteracy
iampostscript:
Dear Computer Illiteracy,
You are a twenty-first century disease. Like a plague, you creep and infect unsuspecting individuals. I am not a fool, I know who your victims are. Your targets are the lower class and people over the age of 50. Their immunity for such a virus is so intolerant that it is very likely that they will contract you. Because of your constant advancements, you...
Growth in death
Ever since you were a seed
you strived for better
it was a hunger, a need
no matter what weather
No water were you given
yet you’d still shine
even if you were dying
in the cold winter sin
Not able to stare at the sun
you stared at the moon
because the other flowers shunned
you faced it anyways, because soon
you’d adjust
no stints to help you prop up
you stood tall on...
Impulse
is not just a section in Macy’s, yet, one of my biggest flaws. I’ve noticed that I’ve been deciding things as carelessly as Russian Roulette. I’ve stopped weighing the pros and cons. I’ve stopped thinking about the consequences. I’ve stopped thinking about what it could be interpreted as. Within important aspects of my life, however, like school and work, it...
Note to self
Don’t be so impulsive. In the matters of the heart, think things through, please.

Look for the Best in Everybody
This is beautiful advice that I got once from Jon Snoddy, my hero at Disney Imagineering. I just was so taken with the way he put it. “If you wait long enough,” he said, “people will surprise and impress you.”
As he saw things: When you’re frustrated with people, when they’ve made you angry, it just may be because you...
tumblarity
you fluctuate like an irritable bowel.
What can I do to impress you.
I wanna fly
so I can paint the sky
Will you join me?
So I can have someone to sleep on
have someone to lean on
have someone to hold tight
through the night
have someone to jump
when I jump
Into a world unknown
but not fearful to figure out
I wanna feel weightless,
limitless
and leave our troubles on the ground
I wanna hear nothing, no sound
I wanna fly,
and the best part
I’m not afraid...
work anecdote 7/6
So I’m sitting at my godforsaken desk, doing nothing. Literally twiddling my thumbs. When this tiny, self-righteous, barely legal, rude, grossly-nose-pierced tween marches up to my desk and says,
“Um, do you make copies here?”
Do I have Kinko’s tattooed on my forehead?
“Well you can make copies in the library” Trying to put it as nicely as possible that we...
Note to self
I think your dreams are literally killing you. This might be a slight problem.
Note to self
Don’t invade people’s privacy. No matter how curious you are.
God damn conscience.
Sea Pea Are
No breath comes out
of your ghost white lips
no flutter of an eye lid
no rising of the chest
I compress and compress
I regress and regress
no signs of life
and it hurts me the most
that I can’t make your
heart beat.
Isn't It Ironic?
ihatethesethings:
So today after work, I walked back to the parking structure with a co-worker of mine, whom we shall call Eric, for clarity’s sake. On the walk there, Eric and I were talking about how he gets frustrated with one of the other interns because of her immaturity. It’s her first job, and he doesn’t have the time to mentor her right now. I agreed that she was young, secretly thinking...
annoying phrases
It honestly is not my bitterness talking, but some of the phrases couples use literally make me wanna gag.
e.g.
“I’m the luckiest girl/guy in the world”
“You’re my dream girl/guy”
“You complete me”
etc. etc.
There have got to be other ways to express your love. Try actions, I know its nice to hear once and awhile, but maybe, just maybe, you can...
