66. "It's About Here." In response to In response to 0 Tue Sep-10-02 05:52 PM
I like the repetition in this pCe -- It reads like a mini-biography in bullet format -- Ratt a tattt tattt -- This is where it's at -- It's About Here!
Yeah!
The scenarios are so relate~able -- I'm sure most of us could find a few that fit our reality.
Like these fit mine:
It’s about there and where I was last year.
It’s about moving into my apartment and sweating up three flights of stairs.
It’s about September eleventh, being numb, and still not understanding.
It’s about going home for the holidays & wishing I’d stayed longer.
It’s about missing my parents.
It’s about the dumbest New Year’s ever, wishing I was somewhere else.
It’s about nothing changing at all.
It’s about discovering I was a writer and learning how to do it.
It’s about still figuring it out.
It’s about using repetition. It’s about using repetition.
It’s about being able to make a joke.
It’s about love, sex, and politics, just like every other poem.
It’s about my new house, new roommates, new life.
It’s about missing the old ones.
It’s about being so homesick it hurts.
It’s about here, and where I’ll go now.
Word! -- Felt!
A guitar string vibrating, a measure of my soul, a breech in the silence -- I've always felt like words come through me & I write them down... they have no master --- gsquared ♥
