from time to time
minutes and hours
some move ahead while some lag behind
it's like the balloon, rise and then vanish
this drop of hope that falls from his eyes

what if i say i'm not like the others
what if i say i'm not just another one
of your plays
you're the pretender
what if i say i will never surrender?

there's this bird outside my balcony who sings the same song every day.  it's shitty, so i don't think he'll ever find a mate.  only one time i heard a hoe bird reply to him -- he got excited, paused for ten seconds, and you could feel the fucking suspense -- but then he just sang his shitty song again.  she replied a few more times, but their relationship never grew into anything more.

i want to tell him, if you rewrite your shitty song, maybe someday you'll find love.  and maybe i can get some sleep.

true story i remembered while in the shower [17 Feb 2007|07:29am]
i was seven or eight years old at this david kid's house one day. he went to my elementary school, he was persian, and he had a little brother who was always picking his nose. little guy must have thought his finger was a stealth bomber cuz when he dove it in his nostrils you could tell he thought nobody saw.
(big brother david didn't have to pick his nose. it was always stuffed and on a separate occasion when i slept over i wasn't able to sleep cuz he snored like a wild boar.)

i don't remember david's little brother's name, we'll just call him LB, he was five or six.
somehow we all decided to bathe, maybe david's mom said so or something. i hesitantly took off my clothes and got in this circular shower, stood on the circumference with david and LB and we formed a triangle. i thought things weren't too bad but that's when it started.

suddenly they start chuckling and pissing all over the place. i'd never even pissed in the shower myself so i thought it was barbaric as hell. all the laughing got their urine flying everywhere and some of LB's yellow liquid hit my ankle. i'm standing there fucking scared and disgusted when i started wishing i had never come over, wished i never met this guy, wished scientists never disproved the possibility of time travel to the past because i was fucking pissed, no pun intended.

i don't know what happened from there, i either prayed for my mom, gave in to the peer pressure pissing party, well, or both. i'll tell you it wasn't a good day.

chance - the reason i can get up in front of 300 people and play a song when i know i don't hold a candle to the average redhead redneck on american idol.

it's no fake modesty.

it's the possibility while you're squawking your listeners will connect a few dots with the words you're singing and form, well, confusion.

something their minds will repeat, they'll wonder why.

some day it'll hit.

"this is a song i made up today but,
it's probably kind of bad.

i don't have very good handwriting."

strum strum strum strum strum

pick



"well you shouldn't doctor yourself..."

I'm a ghostwriter
for an ocean in a shell
from a poison well

in the corridor
by a picture in a frame
of a man with no name

don't get back into a corner
talking to yourself
come on back to me,
my bright tomorrow.

but if you feel hollow
well it's probably cause you are
well at least so far.

so i was at this fancy chinese restaurant with my parents. this little girl was sitting on her knees in her chair a few tables away. she was in a red velvet dress reaching over the table with a spoon big as her arm trying to get some steamed rice on her plate. she made three trips to the rice bowl with excitement in her eyes and courage in her heart. i wanted my camera and an invisibility potion but i didn't have either with me, so i was fucked. i enjoyed watching.

it got me thinking about this little asian boy playing with an apple while he waited for his parents to check in to a french hotel. we had a stare down at high noon and i was hoping he wouldn't move before i changed some settings, you know. didn't want to aim with an unloaded gun and all.

so curious.

I wish she felt young again
when everything was new
when her father held her hand
and said, "there's nothing you can't do."


and then i woke up to a phone call, right on christmas day.
it said your grandmother is dying, in a painful way.
her lungs are filling up with fluid even as we speak.
the doctor said that if she's lucky
she'll make it to next week.

i had one last chance to see her, right before I moved
but I didn't end up going, I used some lame excuse.

I hope that she's not scared
lying there alone
I hope she hears her husband's voice
telling her she's coming home.

but I just hope they know
how much I really care
how I want the best for them
even though I'm hardly there.
