taking a brief break from blogging, obviously. back soon, promise.
Today was my last day of high school classes. Things are kind of hectic/busy/weird this week. Finishing up, and starting up, and whatnot. Gimme a couple more days.
PS: poison ivy for the first time in my life. that's pretty gay.
(a poem written for French class)
Elle a dit:
écrivez un poème d'une fontaine.
Mai, j’ai dit, ceci ne signifie rien
– Elle a dit, Si?
et en plus, il a été déjà fait.
– Elle était silencieuse,
comme s'il n'y avait rien plus de dire.
Le soleil a scintillé sur son collier,
et alors j'étais aveugle.
Le soleil a scintillé sur son collier
plus qu'il a scintillé sur la fontaine.
Ici, nous et nos diamants
transcendent les lois de lumière.
Ses doigts ont brossé l'or sans la pensée,
et les univers ont été détruits,
reconstruits, réarrangés.
Elle a ri au silence;
j'ai été attrapé par ma tendance dévisager.
Et alors je lentement me suis rendu compte;
elle était la gemme sur la fin de la chaîne.

ps: I went to a Palahniuk book signing today. It was awesome. Also, I have two weeks of high school left.
A necklace, a friendship, and a beam of light
She said:
write a poem about a fountain.
But, I said, this means nothing
– She said, So?
and besides, it has already been done.
– She was silent,
as if there were no more to be said.
The sun glinted on her necklace,
and then I was blind.
The sun glinted on her necklace
more than it glinted on the fountain.
Here, we and our diamonds
transcend the laws of light.
Her fingers brushed the gold without thinking,
and universes were destroyed,
rebuilt and realligned.
She laughed at the quiet;
I was caught by my tendency to stare.
And then it slowly dawned on me;
she was the gem on the end of the chain.
