Literature

ambiguous monday

three words out of your mouth and i'm spellbound blindfolded spun around and expected to walk away calmly- not this time. i won't (can't) let this go. i've thrown the cup away, though tossed those old teabags over the fence in hamilton the reminders of warmth are strong enough (stronger than the beverage was) i close my eyes but i can still see everything sitting in the gray area with legs crossed arms crossed fingers crossed this elderly bridge contains every awkward word i speak we are spiders underneath tupperware but i'm not scared. trains roar above our heads and sprinkle ash and particles and rust li

Literature

and wait for me

At this point it seems perfectly logical to sit at my bedroom window a towel casually wrapped over my shower fresh body cool breeze drying my dripping legs and wait for your car to pull up and wait for you to recline the front seat and wait for me waiting for the phone to ring to hear your voice questioning my whereabouts and I'll run down the porch steps onto your limp body you snap to attention and gratefully hold me we drive just a little faster to make up for lost time

to understand you better by NotSoSoft, literature

Literature

to understand you better

I would devour your brain with the chopsticks we bought in Chinatown the green ones you taught me to use I would mix you with sticky white rice the expensive kind you keep in your bedroom so your mother won't steal any ...it takes an hour to cook... so we've got time. I'll make a stir-fry-we'll share it- No waterchestnuts, sprouts or sweet and sour sauce- I'll cut the chicken if you slice the onion we'll share the last bottle of our favorite soda- 2/$5.00 we only buy one we only wave goodnight

Coming up short

The seasons change without intermission you let her adjust the climate and like God she never listens. One second-snow, the next- sunlight (now what can I expect?) I change the bedsheets every night in anticipation of you. The rains cease on my acreage my crops can never grow I'll escape to California away from your Dustbowl. The frost comes twice a week my garden fades away the bouquet I planned to pick for you must wait another day. weathergirl rains on my parade.

Blink With Me by catmandingo, literature

Literature

Blink With Me

Quiet rumbling The sound of rubber tire against wet tar Darkness surrounds me A green glow glares at me from the dashboard Dim headlights lead the way I'm thinking about you As I pass car after lonely car The truck behind me rumbles Its lights flicker in my rear-view mirror Are they trying to tell me something? Maybe they know everything Maybe they know how we'll end up Maybe I'm missing a piece of sage advice From a psychic in a '92 Ford Ranger Maybe it's a warning But no, I'm just getting paranoid Just like when I thought that guy was following me Because we happened to use the same exit To get to the same town I pretende

For The First Time by catmandingo, literature

Literature

For The First Time

I imagine it like this: You're sitting, I'm sitting. There's tension. My leg is shaking. You're looking at me in anticipation. I finally do it. I brush my hand against the hair over your ear, Touch your skin, slide my fingers down your neck Anticipation mounts. I kiss you. For the first time. (Not for the last time.) The trees around my house begin to shake. Two miles away, on a boat in a lake, Two old men watch fish jump from the water into the air In excitement. In ecstasy. Meteorologists tracking a storm See a small but powerful blip on their radar Originating somewhere in Southern Maine They make frantic calls Witness

Those Eyes by catmandingo, literature

Literature

Those Eyes

Laughter Nervousness I'm staring at her hair. I'm looking at her face She's smiling back I'm excited I'm terrified I look down I'm staring at her boobs But I don't want her to think I'm a perv So I look at her... jacket It's a nice jacket, I really don't have opinions on jackets And I look back up Her eyes are still there Still staring Magnificent and blue Permeating everything Can she see my soul? Can she sense my nervousness? Can she read my thoughts? I better not think about porn But what should I be thinking about? Moments likes these should be broken down and taught by teachers I can't believe my school doesn't h

HELP!

0 min read

My best friend and I are going to get tattoos of a camera. We are both photo majorssss. I wanted to get the outline of a camera, preferably an old one, like a Minolta or something similar. BUT I can't draw, ever. I have been googling my bum off and can't find much. It's all digitals with huge lenses or lame thick lined clip art. I've been searching on here and stuff too but I'm not coming up with much. We're looking for a line art type of deal, and I have some reference photos, too. If anyone's interested in helping me, I would really really appreciate it! Love, Hopey!

I needed to get this out.

0 min read

I've never been this hurt or angry before in my whole life. I left my memory card and card reader in the second floor print lab last Wednesday night. When I went back Thursday only my card reader was there. I've checked with everyone I can think of that might have swiped it by mistake. I hate to say it but since only my card reader was there, I think it was stolen. If my teacher found it, he would have taken them both. I'm disgusted with humanity. We are all at that school as artists to become better artists. We share a common goal, no matter what our concentration is. I want to know how someone could go in the lab a week before final
