Tumblr cross-over copout post.

Haven’t had enough time/the right mindset to write. Sigh. I’ll get back to you, blog, before the year ends for our year-end review.

Don’t take it personal, they said;
but I did, I took it all quite personal—

the breeze and the river and the color of the fields;
the price of grapefruit and stamps,

the wet hair of women in the rain—
And I cursed what hurt me

and I praised what gave me joy,
the most simple-minded of possible responses.

The government reminded me of my father,
with its deafness and its laws,

and the weather reminded me of my mom,
with her tropical squalls.

Enjoy it while you can, they said of Happiness
Think first, they said of Talk

Get over it, they said
at the School of Broken Hearts

but I couldn’t and I didn’t and I don’t
believe in the clean break;

I believe in the compound fracture
served with a sauce of dirty regret,

I believe in saying it all
and taking it all back

and saying it again for good measure
while the air fills up with I’m-Sorries

like wheeling birds
and the trees look seasick in the wind.

Oh life! Can you blame me
for making a scene?

You were that yellow caboose, the moon
disappearing over a ridge of cloud.

I was the dog, chained in some fool’s backyard;
barking and barking:

trying to convince everything else
to take it personal too.

And also this is a cop-out I-just-wanna-update-my-blog post. I haven’t had the time to write anything coherent. Reader, if you’re out there, I’m sorry. I’ll try later this week. (^_^)v

Your problem is you don’t know what yours are, to you they’re not even there.

Yours and mine I know too well, my problem is that I care.

This is DQ, finishing up my week-long daily updating brouhaha with this note:

YOU MUST READ THE ABOMINABLE CHARLES CHRISTOPHER.

This has been Day 5 of my I-will-update-my-blog-every-day-for-a-week resolution!!!

I apologize for the last three posts, I’ve been spending a lot of time away from my laptop [hooray], and when I get home I’m all tired and too sabaw to function. Tomorrow I’ll actually give writing a go.

I wasn’t always like this.
