there was a millipede
on my floor today
[an awkward little vegetarian]
so i touched her
even as she curled up--
protecting herself in the only way she knew how
against a stranger,
a paper plate
& i thought of you
a girl with nothing but legs & a lack-of-potential
a little more scared of me
than i am of you
trying to waste your life away in a closet
when there's a whole fucking world out there
but i won't let you

EDIT: Guys, I got another cat. Her name is clover and she's the cutest little calico.
I'm not going to be on here anymore.
I'm going on a permanent hiatus. Just thought I'd let anyone who cares know (if you already haven't detected that.)
I'll probably make a writing tumblr or something. I'll update if I ever move my poetry back to the internet. :p
The 'all your lives have been addicts' cat died...
Yes, I actually wrote that poem for a literal cat. My old cat--she was nearly 18. It's an odd sense of mortality, actually. We're almost the same age. The passage of time is different for us, but it sure makes it feel evident.
We buried her beneath a tree with a patch of pumpkins that popped up from one we smashed last October. Her name was Pumpkin, so it's appropriate.
It was not exactly what I expected coming home for the SAT today. :/
Oh, Sweet Anon...
Thank you for the kind gift, m'friend. :heart: It was a great surprise! I hope happiness to ya.

Oh dear, I haven't posted in a while. Shit, I'll catch up with you. I'm not that evil--I promise. I just got back from the beach too, so during summer break I'll have plenty of time for all of you here.

'on being definite' [spoken word]
a gas station is no place for an epiphone:
hands grazing over 230 calories a serving
& late-night purges
while something in me sprang like orgasm
from my head to my hands

I felt vulgar for a minute

13 is a lucky number in france, and... maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just the fact that everyone else is freaking out over the fact that friday the thirteenth is meant to be a bad day, but things always seem to go a little bit better for me. i don't know. regardless of the date, i'm sure you'll do amazingly in the finals .
aaah new cats are cute- we have a business so i just adore being covered in kittens. i've never had a calico though- always wanted one. i'm sure she's an absolute darling
