Lies

Lies

And if you’ve been close enough to feel my breath you know my lungs are full of cold fire

Reassurance not withstanding that I know nothing and speak nothing to which I cannot reside

So instead I sit and pretend and reel and grow old behind a young mans eyes

Shades of Green

We lived in shades of green

Found holdings in a prairie scene

Noted carvings in our careless dreams

I spoke of beauty without knowing what it means

Until now

We Are the Same.

We Are the Same.

Do you see how when you veil the light it becomes muted and surrounding? Now when you take the blind away your light is revealed to be something entirely pointed and hollow. The bulb serves no purpose of universal illumination, its reason being of protection and environment. How is it we think of such things as bringing us light? Such is it with our bodies and minds. My body is a veil through which my mind may shine. These heart shaped filaments say nothing.

Little Island, So Far Away

Well that was a fail.

Mr. Hat over here thought that I didn't post anything. And this sort of dwindled off. But we're going to re-tool the blog. Hat has taken up to writing beautiful heartbreaking poetry about teenage love and life, and I still have no marketable talents. So we'll be doing that.

Here's my first little ditty. You can set it to Neutral Milk Hotels's "Engine" if you'd like. It pretty much works.


I'd bike to the city twelve miles away
To sit in the shade and look at her face
But now I'm an island and so far removed
That I can't feel her hair and kiss her sweet nose

It all fell apart with no one to see
It's all come out
Now I'm left here with me
Stare into the spaces and dig into me
To find something changed
To find a new end

With modern machines and practical tools
We'll fix up your broke heart to beat for some more
But we know you'll be back here soon again
You can't keep from trying
You can't keep from her

You're an island that's drifted too far from shore
And you can't swim back and you can't take no more
The ocean threatens to swallow you whole
You don't know if you care at all

But what if the shore longed for her island
And climbed all the waves to slide back into you

Why Yes

This blog still exists. We are still having thoughts about things that we wish to share. I am dubious about taking over the world, but maybe we can change something. Maybe we can brighten someone's day. Maybe we can get someone to look at something in a new light. If not, it's still fun.

So perhaps you're wondering why I've been gone for so long. I have no suitable answer other than, "I got a girlfriend" But now she's gone.

In my mind, we have a few options to go down here. We could, like most blogs, only post about how we're sorry that we don't have anything to say. That we'll get something next week, only to post several weeks later apologizing again. To this I energetically say "Meh!"

Let's strive to do better!



So. Yeah!
