join the charade
a portfolio of literary work and visual art
"bb i like it raw"
what is this?
to me, it's an entire spectrum of things, from breaking down walls with a mallet to my favorite pillow. but i suppose that doesn't really clear up the question though, huh? join the charade is an online portfolio featuring poetry, memoir pieces, photography, watercolor work, collage projects, musings, secrets, ponderings, and what exactly is the best thing since sliced bread. please poke and prod, peruse and play. take off your shoes. stay a while. your feet do not smell, i promise.
"read my diary, look at my things, figure me out"
poems written in under five minutes, served stream of consciousness style. guaranteed fresh, or your money back!
stacks, august 7th
things placed on top of things
on top of things
on top of things
building sky scrapers that no one can see the top of
they look around to find holes in the foundation
a place to weasel out from under
the weasels look at everyone with a bittersweet eye
knowing they are the only ones getting out alive
the blueprints were flawed –
you put the pencil case on top of
"the truman show," which was already stupidly placed upon a pocket sized notebook,
where i wrote about possibilities instead of defeat.
there's only so much height you can reach
without tipping over,
spilling, seeping into the ground
lost to the worms and the buried treasure
flavors of the week

i have shamelessly binged on glee all the way up to the fourth season and i don't think i'm emotionally equipped to handle the loss of cory monteith via television. so instead i watched interviews of lea michele crying and read about the multiple tattoos to commerate him.
-
abba and eminem are both stuck in my head, and playing at the same time. if only there was a headphone jack to my brain.
-
knowing that you could always be on the cusp of something great. that as long as you're creating something you're alive. i've been asleep for too long (also haven't slept since the 4th)
-
redecorating, refurnishing, refurbishing, renovating, and ridding my ice box sized room of the oversized furniture. soon i will have room in my room. what a concept.
-
start reading, excessively. at the moment balancing "it," "the basketball diaries," "best of roald dahl short stories," and "infinite jest." really hoping i can find the motivation to educate myself, by myself.
