bethany i wanted to be older than that
seasoned girls
walkin by
talkin bout boys
never knew i was pretty
wanted to be seasoned

capsaicin is it
that stuff that makes you cry
coz its so hot
just need a lil

but i had enough flavor to begin
with

wish i could tell myslef to be happy as i was
not to go searching
not to leave that place by the swing
with the leaves filtering the daylight

and me thinking i'd never grow up

megan you're looking at me. you have this goofy grin on your face, i think we were laughing, but your eyes are what makes me swallow a lump in my throat. they're so full of love. you make me want to embrace the world. 021230

sabbie and it strikes me that what im holding on to
is a photograph of something that never exsisted
and i hold it up to my room
and the picture doesnt match the colour of the sheets
nor can i see the floor like in the photo
and somehow ive gotten hold
of something that never was
and am trying to use it
to measure what i have now
against something that was never real

bespeckled I looked at you with real love. 030101
...
unhinged you were smiling
holding styrofoam cups
like you had just been holding my hand
it was almost a perfect day
that day at the quarry
except for when
you held my hand
as an excuse
as a reason
as a demonstration
pulling me out the backdoor
in front of raised eyebrows
to fast getaways
and terminal bliss

it's in the journey book
