Emotion.

hate hate hate
you.
me.

how can one
become two?



muted candlelight
memories made
over soft-spoken prayers

Big Brother Is Going Down

Me: i just sent an email about the papyrus and i think because of that i'm in trouble and there's a meeting
Other Person: wait, why would you be in trouble?
Me: well it's a really long story
Me: that i don't want to type out
Other Person: can you summarize it in a haiku?


Greenville's Big Brother
embodied by Norman Hall
censors our free speech

I got this in my email today.

first sun in days
bees bees bees
in the rosemary

I Miss Haiku

why's it a cold
when my head
is so warm?



new sunshine
peeks into the holes
in my heart




future worries
melt
in the spring sun

bleh

fear
disguised
as apathy



exhausted
my own expectations
weigh me down

"Chin up, cheer up"

best balm
sunshiney days
with sunshiney people

a very rigid rule set
I don't give a crap
about it
