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!

Foxley & Ossington, 1:45 a.m.

hey there,
hipster girl!

are you really so
unhappy
with your middle-class
upbringing

that you can justify
your silly haircut
and discount-brand beer
because mom 'n' pop
never would?

it's the image
status
knowledge
understanding
that makes you
feel better.

even though
you're the same,
it's almost like
you're different
from them.

going out
with your friends
to be seen

getting drunk

singing and dancing
like there's no end
to the the late-night
subway rides
you know you
can't sustain.

your troubles sound like mine.
