listening to The Juliana Theory
I threw a baseball at a window
(the window of opportunity)
and it shattered
with a sound that scared
the living daylights out of
my ambition.
You told me never
to make a practice out of settling
for less,
but the day you left
is the day my standards
dropped
below the earth's surface.

listening to Achilles Heel by Toploader
not sure about this
sitting on the raft of summer (no paddles)
lazily rolling along
with you
and without you
she dips her feet in the water
casually
as if she knows what she's doing (she does)
and is comfortable doing it (she is)
you're watching her bare legs
it's enough to make you give her
real
conversation
my jeans are rolled up to just under my knees
right over my ankles
as i sit cross-legged and composed
it's enough to make you give me
an ounce of notice
acknowledgement enough
to keep me hanging on
not sure about this
are you attached to your seat beside her?
i want to pry you off
sit you next to me
but have a feeling
i'd fall off the raft in the process

in class today
Too many books on the shelf--
it's as if you learned too much too quickly
which is strange
because the first time i met you
I thought you knew everything
and this is the 2nd time I've been to your house.
So tell me,
why so much newfound knowledge?
When did you have time
to expand your horizons?
"You pay too much attention to details," you say
and switch on the TV.
