january girl is dead

january girl is mourning the death of her friends. one, two, now three. she loves the smell of fall and the turning trees, but it shatters her, puddles her, then sucks her into electrons.

I just fell in love

I'm reading all of this "black" british poetry for class today, when I come across Benjamin Zephaniah's introduction to his collection _TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG_. I was fascinated. Here is a poet concerned more with the state of the world than the state of his fame. Now, most people know that I love to bitch, but am somewhat fatalistic about the state of human beings and their stupid shit. So I was moved and touched and a little amused, almost, though that isn't exactly the right word. So I finish his poetry and I actually feel something, what, I'm not sure, but it was something, which is more than I usually feel after sludging through some required reading. I google him and find his website and this video. TOUCH Then I fell in love.

I was thinking about people and sex and relationships last night, and I declared that I wasn't fucking anyone else until they really wanted me. I might be alone forever in such a case, but perhaps not. It's worth waiting for.
