A Stitch in Time Saves NineTuesday. The barista asks your name and how old you were on your last birthday. The second question is not entirely out of place; he likes the broach you’re wearing and you tell him it was a birthday gift. He asks if your birthday is soon.   
Yes. You tell him it was yesterday.   
Well, happy belated birthday.   
On your most recent birthday, you were 9teen. Some synesthetes* associate numbers with personality (You have never liked the number 4. She isn’t trust worthy). 9 is slouching and self-conscious. You write it down and it either hunches or leans backward awkwardly. It is either toppling over or f A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

Semantic SusurrusWalking around downtown, there are so many pious youth with their heads covered in reverence to an unresponsive deity. Hipsters wearing knit hats, cruising from one temple to another, following musicians. Pipers. With all that wool covering their ears, one would think they would be safe.   
But-   
These ones, the painfully hip adult children, have no idea about the kind of poetry they're participating in.   
As an avid reader, I am never alone. And, though warmth and morning render me useless as a linguist, I was sitting with Milan and Antoine over breakfast and we talked about  semantics and the symbo Semantic Susurrus

Am... Not.I.  I am walking through my ninth floor window across the city, down to Elliot Bay. I have not become particularly large but the skyscrapers become stepping-stones. I have acknowledged that reality is subjective and I can defy physics.   
When I finally make it down to the pier, I look back and the city has flooded. The tide came in so, so far today. The hills of Seattle are islands and people are using boats. The crew team at my university has begun to run a taxi service in the off-season so they can stay in shape while earning a little coin. “Where to ma’am?” A customer tells them someplace. “Alright team, Am... Not.

Every word pulls me west, west, west

On June 11th at the Seattle Art Museum there will be a one night living art piece called An Impasse of Poets in which 100 poets dressed in black will move about the museum for one hour, whispering among themselves. An hour of semantic susurrus. There will be microphones in the museum, broadcasting the whispers to areas of the building where the poets are not.

I will be one of the one hundred. Mind you, they weren't very selective.

We are required to memorize one of our original pieces. I have been wrestling with an idea for a poem about Westernization for months and am trying to draw it out onto paper for the show. But, it seems I have poetry in me but it doesn't like to come out often. I think the leap might be too large since I, as of late, have spent most of my poetry writing time talking about mothers, coming of age and hook ups.

So, that's what's going on in my camp.

Sometimes I cough them out while sleeping.

I love avocados!

I also love your icon. It's very Adam and original sin.
