    I almost woke up a fucking baby, or disturbed it.
    I'm at the family's. my big family is so loveable. Cousin Ali rocks a baby to sleep. Second Cousin Aaron changes his clothes in front of the television. And I just observe the madness outside, where the green takes over blue in Wisconsin landscape.

    Seattle. That's where i was. i went mad there. i lost two friends. i camped for a week by myself, and mastu... anyway, i talked to myself. i laughed by myself. i called people on the streets "big spendas"...

    Wisconsin. on my way to minneapolis, where kids ride bikes, and kids sew.

    I'm tired of watching love connection. and tired of trying to pretend conan is still funny after all these years.

    I'm tired of not being able to ride the bike outside because it is too tall for me.

    Hilo-ian days
    "ya wanna smoke Pot?"
    "no."
    "ya want some coffee?"
    "yeah surrre."
    "Look, there's 'greenie', the little lizard!"
    "He's my favorite thing about this house!"
    "Did you quit?"

    Loud voices at nine in the morning are not wakin up the neighbors, but the gigantic clucks of the chickens next door could be.

    Lissa, John, and I speed to the car, and i'm clutching David Byrne's cd. I'm shaking my head with a half full cool cup of coffee in my hand. I'm looking at Lissa, half smiling, and the cd takes over.



    1. Glass, Concrete & Stone
    Written by David Byrne © 2004

    Now
    I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn
    to send a little money home
    from here to the moon
    is risin' like a discotheque
    and now my bags are down and packed for traveling

    Lookin' at happiness
    keepin' my flavor fresh
    nobody knows I guess
    how far I'll go, I know
    so I'm leavin' at Six O' Clock
    meet in a parkin' lot
    Harriet Hendershot
    sunglasses on, she waits by this

    Glass and concrete and stone
    It is just a house, not a home.

    Skin, that covers me from head to toe
    except a couple tiny holes and openings
    Where, the city's blowin' in and out
    this is what it's all about, delightfully

    Everything's possible
    when you're an animal
    not inconceivable
    How things can change, I know

    So I'm puttin' on aftershave
    nothin' is out of place
    gonna be on my way
    Try to pretend, it's not only

    Glass and concrete and stone
    That it's just, not a home.
    And its glass and concrete and stone

    It is just a house, not a home
    And my head is fifty feet high
    Let my body and soul be my guide


    And somehow one song will glue patches of life to one paper, and the song just magically frames it.

    Two in the morning sigh
    I am typing these words in a florescent lit computer lab, five computers away from liz.

    I am typing these words under tired blinking eyes.

    I am typing with little thoughts, but great emotions.

    I am typing a poem that relies on digits.

    I am outside of a computer.

    From Agnes Scott to Hilo

    Things I believe exist in Hilo, HI that do not exist in Agnes Scott, GA.

    1. mango trees
    2. a soothing accent
    3. waterfalls
    4. my sister
    5. volcano parks


    Current Mood: confused
    Current Music: Grown Backwards David Byrne

    The only piece of life recorded
    Woke up at agnes scott college, to find my friend telling me it was lunch time. went to lunch, while listening to the newest david byrne cd "grown backwards", which i have been listening to nonstop these days. i find music the only thing soothing, and especially so in this dormitory of "educated" people. Oh, i didn't mean that. They are so educated, so educated that I have a hard time relating to them. Or possibly it is my whole generation. But yes, david byrne, does have a voice that releases thoughts of boring to do lists from my pretty fat head.
