I was told that timing is everything.
It's not what you say, it's when. It's not how you say it, it's when.
It makes sense,
and it's a change from what I used to think.
A change?
For the better or for the worse?
Who knows? Who knows...
If it helps, I do. I think I do.
It's neither.
It's an opinion - completely indefinite and up for interpretation.

You told me that when you look at me,
you see the reflection of the opposite of yourself.
You smiled at me; I didn't smile back.
After pondering, I wanted to ask if you had really meant to say that you see yourself in me, or if it was just my imagination.
I turned, ready to ask, but you were gone.

You know how to move, you really do,
but not in the typical way.
Your mouth moves, and so do your eyes.
But, I am beginning to wonder why
you never seem to care what you say,
who you say it to,
what you really mean,
or when you say it.
No, you don't care, but you do know.

It was when I tried to touch you
that I found you were not real.
Just a vision,
a dream,
or maybe a a ghost.
I asked you why,
but you never answered back.

I love this poem:

Child
Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing.
I want to fill it with color and ducks,
The zoo of the new
Whose name you meditate --
April snowdrop, Indian pipe,
Little

Stalk without wrinkle,
Pool in which images
Should be grand and classical

Not this troublous
Wringing of hands, this dark
Ceiling without a star.


Sylvia Plath was a genius.

His eyes
trace
her movements
from

a f a r

His cracked
lips
mouth
her name,

His words never
reach

her ears

His thoughts
never
completely
c r oss

his mind

Is this what it's like
when the words
stick
like honey in your throat?

you're frozen in the
frame of a B-rated movie
and everything around you
moves so fast that you have to
close your eyes
to avoid the sting

to avoid the
blurring colors

and you close your
ears,
tune out the buzzing,
screeching sound
of tires

words are rolling
off your tongue
but they are crooked

crooked, bent
and broken

Today has been boring. Full of homework.



His voice cracks
behind
half empty threats

swallow,
swallow,
swallow,
and then regurgitate your
pride

he is drowning in the
'how' and 'why'...
anger tearing the
breath
from his lungs

choking
on the
false,
false,
false words


I don't like it. At all. But afterall, it is an english assignment. What can I say?
