Head in the Pool
I want to bury my head under water
So that everything is muffled
So that the people standing above me
Are nothing but a blur
And the words they are saying
Is nothing but monotone babbling.
I want the water to eclipse my thoughts
I want it to fill my ears
And drip into my mind
Like a river running from earlobe
To earlobe.
I want to look up
And see the light
I want to be blinded by it
And let the chlorine burn into my iris.
I want my muscles to struggle
Just a little bit more
As my limbs move about
I want to bury my head under water
For just a second
And escape that reality floating above me.
And maybe
If I’m lucky –
When I do emerge from the pool
The water will have clogged my ears
So that I cannot hear you speaking clearly
So that your words are muffled
And your voice sounds different
& then, maybe
If I’m lucky
I’ll forget who you are
And what you did
And the past we had
And I’ll fall in love, again.

She is the
Wavy black hair
Flannel shirt
Baggy jeans &
Black boots that
Is the 90’s.
The passenger seat of her car
Cradles compact discs
Like marbles in a tray
Everclear tickets line the mirror
In her bedroom
Her room with U2
And the Goo Goo Dolls
Taped above her bed
So it’s the last thing she sees at night.
She listens to Incubus’ “I Miss You”
On her lunch break.
She is
Our Lady Peace’s “I Loved You All Along”
Goo Goo Dolls “Iris”
Everclear’s “Amphetamine”
Semisonic’s “Secret Smile”
She is the classy
Pale chick
With a Marlboro cigarette
Always sticking on her
Maroon colored lipstick
She is the skinny girl
With childishly puffy cheeks
Cheeks always pink like cherries
She is what Bush never wanted
To “Comedown” from
She is Ingram Hill’s
“Almost Perfect”
She is the
Converse wearing chick
With romantic ideals
Coated in cynical bitterness.
She is crazy and neurotic
She is sexy and wild.
She is the ticklish girl
She eats honey for breakfast
And coffee is her desert
She knows how to dance.
Ballet. Tango. Tap.
Took lessons since she was 3.
She is the
Straight haired
Jennifer Aniston.
The wide eyed Felicity.
She is MTV’s biggest fan.
She loves Bill Clinton
And adores his affair
She paints at 4am
When everyone else is sleeping
She fell for the guy in the leather
The guy with the motorcycle
She fell for his crooked smile
And his wavy dark hair
Wavy like Ethan Hawke’s in Before Sunrise
Wavy like Leo’s in Titanic.
She fell for his sense of humor.
She fell for his 6 foot tall
Beefy frame
She fell into his dark brown eyes
She fell for his punk attitude
And the dirt beneath his fingernails
For his fly white boy dance
He bought her daisies for her birthday
She plucked its petals
One by one
Plucked them
As the strands of dyed purple hair
Fell from her head
She plucked them until she realized
With her tall glass of champagne
On New Years Eve night that
He loved her not.

Got promoted at work a few months ago, kinda. I got a title and a raise, but I was moved to Food avenue to its hard to see it as a promotion. Still - I'm in charge so it's nice. Work alone all day. Still single. And lacking in friends. Spending most of my time (like 8 hours a day!) working on my writing. I got a channel on youtube with some animated poetry and I'm working on my newest poetry anthology which is coming along nicely. Lastly I got my novel which is coming along the slowest. Only on chapter 5 out of 12. Also, today was day one of my Mother Daughter diet of eating only lean meat (tuna, chicken, salmon, turkey), vegetables (mostly carrots, celery, green beans, peas) and salad with the occasional snack of peanut butter with the celery or graham crackers. Relish sometimes for the tuna, and maybe some baby pickles. In one months we hope to drop ten pounds, before the retreat in November we hope to drop a dress size, our reward will be a nice hair cut.

Right now at work I'm fighting for hours. Most weeks I get scheduled 30, when I need AT LEAST 35, if not 40. I got trained in Deli, and there is talk or me getting promoted to Assistant Team Lead over Starbucks and Food Ave OR just being a starbucks trainer. IDK what will happen but I'm hoping and praying to be guaranteed full time hours.
