some poor soul left their Bad Company record on the floor in the bank so naturally we brought it home to give it a listen
for grace, after a party
you do not always know what i am feeling.
last night in the warm spring air while i was
blazing my tirade against someone who doesn’t
interest
me, it was love for you that set me
afire,
and isn’t it odd? for in rooms full of
strangers my most tender feelings
writhe and
bear the fruit of screaming. put out your hand,
isn’t there
an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside
the bed? and someone you love enters the room
and says wouldn’t
you like the eggs a little
different today?
and when they arrive they are
just plain scrambled eggs and the warm weather
is holding.

this is me sitting at home and feeling shitty and watching ferris bueller’s day off when i should be on my way to school which kind of got me thinking that i wish i had a ferrari to steal and a parade to hijack but alas my life is not nearly as exciting as a character played by matthew broderick

today I got my hands on the rough printing of on the cusp and I can’t contain my excitement. the girl who printed it (a total lifesaver, by the way!) called it “breathtaking” and I can only hope the rest of you will be equally as impressed.
here’s a little sneak preview of the first page!
well that was unexpected
