endangered species.psst.endangered species.
you and me, we are the seconds between running out in the rain and feeling the drops. we are doing stupid things at stupid hours, talking too loud in hallways and remembering all the right things. we are tanlines from duct-tape bracelets and sighing in synch, listening and screaming and understanding.
we are proof that nothing could kill all the dinosaurs.
so come run with me, let's draw clouds on all the windows and draw sharpie hearts on the bottom of our shoes, and find the highest place out there and turn to the sky and scream as loud as we can and dare them to throw at us everything they have.


no pun intended.i was going to write "it breaks my heart when you stop talking to me at the worst times," but then i realized that's the biggest lie out there. you don't break my heart, not one bit. no, you seal it up. you take the little cracks and leaks and glue them shut somehow, so all the electricity and stupidity and recklessness and joy and pain and love that is normally pulsing through my veins is suddenly faced with solid walls, trapped in there and building up inside that tiny space instead of flowing out with every breath and word.no pun intended.
instead of being dilluted with my blood and spread throughout my body it is forced to compact, to concen


my odd little monster.there's a part of me that lives ten minutes in the future, in another world altogether that looks and feels and smells just like this one, but everything is completely and ununderstandably different. it's the part of me that writes stories--constantly--and always runs ahead and fills in what would happen next, if this were that story, if you weren't you and i wasn't me and a million other "if"'s were different than they really are.my odd little monster.
it lives there, ten minutes in the future, creating that other world second by second ad real time ticks by while i wait for you to say something or me to do something. each second of waiting gives it


why i'm glad i'm noti want a book of you. i want one place to write everything you, everything you do to me and every moment of explosion. and the only thing i'd write on the cover is "fiction", just to be safe, and that would be the most ironic thing because that'd be the biggest lie in there. maybe it's self-fulfilling.why i'm glad i'm not
but that would be exhausting because i hate copying things down again. you're sprinkled all throughout my life--in here, in my diary, my notebook, my emails, my phone records and chat logs and folded pieces of ripped-out paper and on my walls and in my head and in my fingers and my nose and my reflection and freckles and stories an
| show some love, prettyplease. |
| i'm never going to be amazing, but i love beauty and the feeling of poetry on my chin and the rush of far-awayness you get from looking at stars just right. hopefully that counts for something. to me, feeling safe and wrapped-up in something bigger than me is priceless. i sometimes take things that aren't mine so i'll have something to hold on to. i love ridiculously cliche song lyrics and checking things off of lists, even though i'm one of the most unorganized people you will probably ever encounter. i use metaphors too much. i love inside jokes and i want to learn how to fly. i talk about myself way too much. i'm a kid. don't expect me to be wise or beautiful or ordinary and i won't dissapoint you (: |

"The highest realm within the comic terrain is the paradisal: here grace and forgiveness supplant even mercy. Man is lifted up into a realm beyond himself, one that he has not gained by his own effort."

this was probably your intent, but i thought you should know.

Haikus are easy
But some of them make no sense
