words and noise

This blog consists primarily of random thoughts... whether poetry, short and long essays, or other types of writing. For the most part, this is spur of the moment with as little editing as possible--I find blogging much more fun this way. If you read this blog and become interested in a piece of writing, feel free to comment. I appreciate constructive feedback from anyone and everyone. Some of my poems and lyrical material I tend to edit and rewrite AFTER I post on my blog. If you'd like to see a more finished project, just let me know. Thanks for taking the time to read my words and noise.

Peace!

Concerted Recollection

It's funny how
I'll let a moment pass,
unnoticed,
before really
comprehending


if it means anything at all.


Upon that
recognition,
I find myself
utterly unable
to describe it;

I wonder instead
what it was,
in the first place,
that demanded
such
concerted recollection.


Sitting in an honest
park, with honest people and
honest birds (if you feed them),
I try desperately to remember…

only to end up smoking
cigarettes,

more confused
than when
I started.
