...But that was the defendant's business.
Summer bleached the sidewalks and the power cords were stiff just like my starched 7-11 uniform, except at the places where my old muddy tennis shoes would collect rain. Long shadows reflected on the paved knoll. A certain wicked giggling trickled inside, a feeling like earwigs nesting inside my brain. Then, there they were, like moldy walking biscuits, four PM sharp and on time, trudging up the glorious mass of asphalt.
Keep an eye on those girls, would you? Dean, 7-11 god and manager demanded. The more they come in here, the dirtier my store becomes.
I rolled my eyes and braced myself. A man with a briefcase stoppe
Summer swinging, you came breathing
Through the screen door in unison
In a frenzied fixation, our eyes were new,
Thirsty, clear stalactites and we took what was ours
The day, because we could. Because it slides-
Our all the time in the world
Acoustical fudge and berries, it's the chords the world
Needs now. Or more of the hollow breathing
Pulsating each ear, the white terrier slides
Down the linoleum. He's more of a son
Than a dog. More of a son than that Chia Pet of ours
Red serrated ceramic with peppery seeds, a new
Sprout to wriggle out the cranium. Identifying new
Patterns of phrenology, foretelling leakage of world

Of the small streets in Steel factories.
But in our separate too funto-bid peace,
He gave my mother the guitar when
She was young like plastic caught in the wind
The way it dances free, like her eyes did
As she strummed it down the center
Sounding like infinity entered
Her hands like the dusting of sands
(Her guitars strings are made of black and gold
Spaghetti, carp, telephone dial
Her guitars notes are made of sloppy-joe smile
Her guitars made of Cool)
Across the summers of longing, until
She gave her daughter the guitar when
She was young like marigolds das
Rushing in a hallway of love and confusion,
bitter, repulsive impatience is across the way.
I want to leave today,
that feels so wrong
And in this crowded place,
devotion is without a face.
But out of love,
I'll wait here for you.
Your face has become faded,
not sure how long I've waited.
Well, time passes increasingly fast,
standing alone like an outcast.
I've been waiting awful long,
singing this same old song.
But, I'll be here,
until you return.
He sits alone in utter darkness,
strumming his old mahogany banjo
with his freezing trembling hands.
He moves his cracked frigid lips
about a story how he got here.
Gambling and tossing the chips.

their heads held up high,
muttering 'Poor Thing'.
He gazes at them,
grabbing and pleading their purse strings.
His gentle cradled tears find their paths
down his rough scarlet face.
Slipping away
in the chill of the rain.
Surrounded only
by dull green
and fading lily lonely.
Earth frenzied,
from the serene.
Surrounded by
flocks of grey geese,
flying together in patterns,
through the sky.
They coexist,
through the rain-kissed mist.
Peace within each soft feather,
even through...
the torment of weather.
Cool envy tingles,
throughout my fingers.
The wish of such grace,
And to fly,
Lingers within my soul to seize,
Lingers with each jeering breeze.
The cold,
how it chills,
and kills,
and knaws at my soul!
Can I alone-
push the pain,
To the side, and away?

I am in Pennsylvania!
And I have this great urge to write and paint.
I have no paint! :(
I will find a way.
I am happy to see you all soon.
I'm having a great time. :]
And I am not overwhelmed. I can't change the 'mood'.
By the way, I HIGHLY recommend On Writing by Stephen King for all you writers and artists. It is very helpful to one as a writer. Also to those who don't write, I find that a lot of the part that isn't technical about adverbs 'n-at is inspirational to any kind of art. It is an amazing book, okay? Read it.
I'm on this creative surge/rush...woooo. :)
Surprise, surprise. It's an update! From the lost Allison.
I really feel terrible I haven't posted my art.
I have been trying to draw every day...nothing I'm too proud of yet. Just sketches. I want to clean out my portfolio on here. Start again.
I have been so busy. So so busy.
Right now I have five school projects. Dear beans. Haha.
Speaking of, I have been vegetarian officially a whole week and it shall carry on and on. Proud, yes. Keep trying to improve my health with more iron because I am showing about all the symptoms of anemia. Woooo. No, not really.
After this week of school, Saturday is my SAT. And I almost forgot it'll be my
All right. So I am worried.
There's a tornado watch. And it is supposedly forming at 5 or 6. The same time I am stage crew for tonight's performance! Ahhh! What do I do?
