 downtown
 
 i remember being there;
 flashbacks;
 like jagged edges of
 shards of glass---
 the heat
 the rush
 the ignition of
 your lingering touch---
 the words
 the breeze
 the smile that
 knocked me to my knees---
 a day when
 i never cried
 more---
 long
 drawn-out sobs
 no
 drenching tears
 only
 choking
 choking
 choking---
 left sitting
 the newspaper
 and me---
 grasping
 at the empty air
 where
 you were standing
 moments
 seconds
 right then
 before---
 i'm never going
 back.
 
 p.s.: formatting not showing up, damn.

 like burning incense
 
 someone
 clever
 like a poet
 would think to
 bottle
 your scent
 in order to get high later on;
 like burning
 incense or
 sniffing permanent
 markers
 when it's
 late at
 night.

 Desperate Saturdays
 
 his scent;
 so erotic,
 remembered from taking
 short
 raspy
 hard
 gaspy
 breaths
 on desperate Saturdays,
 never avoiding
 the rush
 or
 taking it
 slow.
 
 p.s.: there's some crazy major formatting that goes with this poem and it won't show up! bastards.

 i first saw you in the morning and
 trust me,
 the sight of you woke me up.
 that smile of yours;
 is it your goal to brighten everybody's day?
 i first met you through your words and
 believe you me,
 i wish i could write like you.
 that poetry you make;
 how do you make it mean so much?
 
 
 a.n: never mind

 I want to make everyone fill out a survey about me.  It would ask them only two questions.
 
 1)Who is Lauren, to you?
 2)How does Lauren fit into your life?
 
 I want to know the answers, I want to know the honest answers to these questions and finally know what people think of me.  Am I really that great at writing?  Can I really play softball?  I want them to say it naturally if it's true, without me having to initiate it with saying that I suck at it.  Do I really make their days?  Are the laughs I earn from them actually genuine?  It's anybody's guess.  I wish there was a way to know for sure.
