a new wheat

[parch]

which way was i looking when it all fell apart, and which way did it slide when i let my grip loosen, where did it go when i tried to deny the past and the present the future so slow? surviving on bread and words and what?--
were you really speaking to me when you said that, were you really driving into me, because i could feel it and now it hurts and i wish you could see and i wish you could tell and i wish i knew or you knew why you were false.
why you were a charade for all my lulliby nightmares, a better picture on the window and i was lulled to sleep for you.
sedated, i have become and absorberd in this mess i drown to see you or not see you i care none and my eyes want out, and you can see it in me now, we can tell, we can all tell
i want out
and i want in
into the factory press zone -- coming so deep i can know its real again -- i can tell its real again and i can melt with you and i and us in this-- this is it--
quicker
stronger
less fear
and it burns again
shake shake shake
and it burns again
take it in and let it become me
one with all
the sweat of the universe sticking in my pores
aching for the harvest
and it burns again

i really liked this one, i don't want to analyze this one because it doesn't need it from me. I throughly enjoyed it...I recommend this being one of your 25...

right? right.

[parch]

maybe one of my 25
i'm not sure
i made a list and now i forget if this is on it
i talked to my critter prof (the one i gave a few poems to - to look over) and she said she liked my "angry - young man" poems...she liked those better than my attempts at romanticizing or my trials with feelings (blah)

so i'm not sure if i like the 25 i chose anymore

maybe i should go w/ a vent/sarcasm style..i don't know

[machinery]

well, sarcasm has been a sharp tool of yours...and like i said..you need to approach the publisher of john s. hall...and if I look hard enough..i will find you the website where you can do it at....get back to me on it......but with the romanticizing....i think everyone's romance is an attempt.....look at my shit.....ok then? ok then.

get back to me.....
