Bit Off and Overchewed

You've got you monoliths
Stick up strong
Keep your jaw out and
When I look at you all I see is flashy grey
But Athena doesn't come here
You don't have her state of mind
For your city state up keep
Keep up
If I had the time in the world I would
Still keep time with the beat of
Your sturm und drang
Your sickness and dope fiend body
Racked in the morning after
When you see heavy brows creased
Crow's feet lids wide open
You go out to the graveyard and see
Gutted engines propped on cinderblocks and
In your bowls you feel that city slicker shit boiling
The horror the horror
Let's talk about you.
"Sometimes he goes too far. He's the first one to admit it."

And When I Speak "We don't abide by lies here."
Simply stated and passed down from my mother's mother
To my mother
To me.
I inherit this persona-
follow the narrative.
Conviction will carry me through.

When close to caught in the act of stealing kisses
I supply a saccharin smile and salute
"Nossir, Poppa Bear is the only man in my life!"
Credit to some stroke of grace that he shuffles off
as Goldi knocks to be let back in the window.

My sister told truths better than any.
She offered them to you gift wrapped in myth
In return please assume she knows all things but
She talks too much
Too open, too friendly-

The Dog Was Put on the Mountain, The Wolf Beside They think that girls won't fight like dogs.
When backed up the bitches start to snarl and snap-
I know this.
Through foaming mouths and twists and howls-
I know this:
We have everything to prove.
--
Today I spoke back for the first time.
Against the leash, the clip, the collar-
I riled.
The hand that feeds is too often a fist-
So when the order came…
I sat with my mouth wide and laughing,
Tongue cool and eyes open,
And I did nothing but look them in the face
And show teeth.

Now when they come to the kennel it is mine.
Before they leave they will see me raise my lips and hackles-
Not a milk-drowsy child anymore,

It's Living You have to wait for the quiet.

There is never total silence, know that that is an impossibility, the near silence is just as good.

Find it in the mornings. At four the world is still. At five the inky blue begins to brighten. At six the sleepers stir. At seven the sun breaks the hilltop and the quiet is gone. Small rotund birds plump themselves up further and chatter. Coffee brewed under muttering hands.

Stay silent, keep waiting.

Now listen for the near silences: the pauses between the hiss of the shower and the curse of their scalded occupants. The emptiness after the alarm clock was smacked down. The lulls have a rhythm and hold withiIt's Living by ~theAnti-Bambie

God I haven't done this in forever!

I think the hardest thing about me looking back at this gallery is realizing how easy it used to be for me to sit down and write. Not all of it was polished or well thought out, but it flowed and gave me a place to say whatever I wanted. Times change I suppose. I tried sitting down and writing a story last night and it ended up becoming a to-do list. I can't remember the last time I wrote a poem. This is beyond writer's block and I'm honestly not sure what would cause such a stifling of something that used to come naturally to me. Maybe it is too much work, too much partying, too much world of warcraft... the possibilities are endless. If anyone has any suggestions I will love to hear them!

In good news, I'm still in college and I have jobs as a writing tutor and research assistant in the anthropology department. I'm a little tired of classes, exams, papers (lather, rinse, repeat) but my family is famous for their liberal application of the term "grin and bear it". My life is good. My friends are good. If I can start writing again my life will be as close to perfect as its ever been.
