Unknown or Nonexistent?

*

Poetry

The words waltz

behind my eyes

trot among my brain

cranking machine

pulling out

what it all means

*

Lately I've been writing a lot of poems.

Most short.

Sweet.

To the damned point.

But, I also have been reading a lot of poetry too. 

 Emily Dickinson

Jack Spicer

Robert Frost

Mostly the well known.

& that doesn't even cover everyone I've been reading.

& I just have been wondering lately...

WHAT

IS

THE

POINT

?

*

Why type these words?

Who reads them?

Who cares?

Does

anyone

even

think

about this complicating, mind blowing, stuff or am I just sitting here wasting

one

more

tick

tock

of my already busy schedule

to vent to an unknown audience?

The Vow & Forever Alone Day

Oh Valentine's day...


Every other person sees it as this:



But I see it as this:



Not only because I am literally Forever Alone. But also because I'm fucking FOREVER ALONE.


& while I could rant & rave about how Valentine's Day is just another way for America to further our consumerism & blah, blah, blah...


What it really comes down to is Valentine's Day is a reminder for everyone not in a happy relationship, that "Oh, hey! You!.... Yes, you!... You're alone!" At least that's a rough translation.


& then to add to my Forever Alone-ness, there is one of the saddest looking, sweetest movies coming out this Friday. That movie being, The Vow.





Every time I see the trailers I basically feel like bawling my eyes out. 


So I'm probably seeing that on February 14, 2012. With my friends....
who are also single.
