| celestial | 12:46am friday, 27th february |
in the rush of my being i may forget all the world
the sensation of flying flows down through my feet, hovering here
brought forth from the mathematics of a celestial sky

| Quotes Again | 12:50am monday, 23rd february |
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
– Robertson Davies
The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.
– Henry Kissinger
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
– Bertrand Russell
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
– Walt Disney
Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
– Winston Churchill
History never looks like history when you are living through it.
– John W. Gardner
It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
– Peter De Vries

| heart | 3:06am thursday, 19th february |
not like before
why my heart breaks, now, i see
as a stranded citizen
an imaginary island thereupon
dreams out of sequence
afraid to feel
not two words for hours and hours
i exist only when in pain
intermittently thankful
my heart breaks, now, this is why:
i have one

| purpose | 12:30am sunday, 15th february |
we have done a million insignificant things
how easily life slips through the fingers
struggle to turn a wheel that spins in air
while the great work of man goes undone
we construct great machineries for love
and lose the sole purpose in their function
so agog in the workings of our own hands
we forget why we do things while doing it
life is gone while we are still tasting why
and all our insignificant things we find out
we did them all so hopelessly on purpose

| numbers redux | 2:36am wednesday, 11th february |
still the numbers dance before me
yet rendering a prophet’s messages
striking out to me in claws of despair
there is salvation in the curves of the 3
there is doom where the loop of 6 meets
36 is a myth, however, not the sum of them
11 and 7, and 2 — will their voices ever silence?

| More Goings On | 3:16am saturday, 7th february |
I keep thinking about my ex-girlfriend. All the while, I’ve been going on (well, went on) a date with someone my mom found in a Korean magazine. True story. She’s a post-doc in biotech, but I’m not really attracted to her in any sexual way. Doesn’t that have to be a pre-requisite when you’re supposed to want to marry someone? Because it doesn’t really seem to be, as far as my parents are concerned. They tell me I’m not getting any younger, to settle for whatever I can get.... Secretly I refuse to ever do so, but I will go through the motions of dating these women they find from whatever source they can. I keep thinking about my ex-girlfriend. Somehow I think she’s going to come back into my life — it has happened before. Now her — I’d shtup her in a second.

| no else | 1:57am tuesday, 3rd february |
i am slight
less than a feather
though i weigh tons
as if the world
hung on my back
yet still i walk on
can do no else
