o war

i got lost in my car
when the song came on
i was lookin for twin donuts
but i only found one

my shoulders where swayin
just like the breeze
and jazz o jazz
the world was at ease

the only thing was
i thought he was singing meadow
but sure enough
the world is a ghetto

ps:

the subtext of someday is not a missed period. trust. i just wanted to make that clear. to you, or me. whoever, ya know.


i crushed the crab
i had in my beach bag
no legs left
just a head
(if it had one)
and the claws
as well
they were not lost
but crossly still
i discovered the news
i got those
ephemeral treasure
long daytime blues

Dear Typewriter,

I’ve fallen in love with another.

See you on the flip side.

Yours truly,

Joanna

Dear Typewriter,

I was hasty in leaving you. It’s just that you were dragging ass and I needed something faster.

I took your simplicity for granted. And overlooked your understated charm.

I should have never left you.

Will you take me back?

Lost without you,

Joanna

i had to lock the chocolates out of the house. the problem remains that i know where they are. i jumped for joy like a fat kid getting a case of chocolates when jay ray gave me a case of chocolates. it was the best moment of my life. seven boxes, each filled with individually wrapped pieces of you know what. i gave a box to Gramma, brought one to my parents and sister, brought one to work, gave one to Auntie Barbara. they were all around me. i ate them. one by one, eight at a time, mechanically going back to the ever full box. haselnuss. vollmilch. nugat. knusperkeks. i even ate the ones i didn't like. four pounds and six pimples later i'm driving around at midnight trying to figure out who i else can give these chocolates to. i need the out of my life! they're ruining my life! it all seemed so perfect at the time. what could go wrong with 588 chocolates?

dear habitués

i must acknowledge / confess / apologize for my affinity for the "aged photo" filter in adobe lightroom. i bring photos in with the intention of doing only legal photographic adjustments (lighten/darken, contrast, switch to B&W (brian said that was ok)) but then aLL THE TIME i apply that filter. doubly, this tarnishes my image. i have told myself it is ok. will you tell me too? selling out is a slippery slope. i hope to regain my footing soon.

this is a good song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVURkMTDr3E

you are a good person.
