my poem I want you to read

September 18, 2001 at 1:31 a.m.

my buddy posted this in his site..

Thank you

oh, you MUST go see it - it's just incredible...

**********************

So I'm a 21 year-old fifth year college senior in an english class with brainy 16 year olds because of a scheduling/computer glitch.

I'm not complaining - apparently, it's a whole lot better than the regular freshman writing classes for the "grown-ups." And the little kids think I'm cool (I like to pretend they think I'm cool...)

So in the wake of all that's happened, the teacher is having us write a poem to express our feelings.

Oh, I canNOT have a 16 year-old punk outdo me... but they probably will. It's funny - every poem I tried to write ended up about an ex-boyfriend. I like how Annie put it:

"why do we pull together go on when the world falls apart, but when we get dumped by a loser or some other man- thing goes wrong, we can't work or otherwise function for days or weeks? just wondering--"

Oh, too true...

Anywho, I composed a violin solo, but I'll turn this in anyway. I'm really ... well, I won't give a disclaimer, but you now how I am... please tell me what you think and if I could improve it somehow... anywho, here goes...

September 10.

The world is ending.

What is the use of going on?

With this hair

this face

this body

this towed car

this homework??

I cannot be expected to survive under these conditions.

September 11.

No.

Oh stop no.

Where did my world go?

Where did my life go?

My kingdom for a bad hair day

for a dead car

to erase the image still burning.

Today I sat on my blue couch while thousands screamed

and were silenced

as they fell from the sky

something landed on me.
