DEAD POET'S SOCIETY

sucking the marrow out of life




isnt it -- jian, 00:56:00 06/22/04 Tue

isnt hard to smile
when you really want to cry

isnt it hard to leave
when you want to stay

isnt it hard to contain
your tears

isnt hard to contain
all your fears

[11pm bus] -- natalya, 15:28:36 06/20/04 Sun

The filter crashed unto the drain cover and the smoldering tobacco splashed
  fireworks. FIREWORKS!
before all slipped through the grilles into the vault of dark waters.

It lasted but a second.

"You wanna eat?"
"Yeah, I'm starving."
"..."

"So, am I supposed to cook?"
"Yeah, I was waiting for you to do it."
"Ha. Ok you do the dishes."
"I love you."
"I love you too."

Tasting Sweetness -- Hum Jim Bang, 13:37:33 05/30/04 Sun

Sweet:
a)Pleasing to the mind or feelings; gratifying
b)Pleasing to the senses
c)Kind; gracious (www.dictionary.com)

Do U mean any of the above?
If U do,
Do U really mean it?
Do U have anymore to say?
I jus wonder.

sigh -- Hum Jim Bang, 13:23:39 05/29/04 Sat

I know,
This is cliche,
and too over used a phrase,

But
life is,
really like a roller coaster ride.

You can't come back soon enough.

Please please please do.

And when you do
I will drink you from my lips
And spit out in return
these seeds you've sown.

reminder -- jian, 23:01:16 05/10/04 Mon

someone asked why i was wearing a ring
because i lost a bracelet
in a fireworks display

because you said
you would never buy me one
because i wanted
you to buy me one

but it has been too long
so much so that i forgot
the tale behind the ring

but i didnt forget
to smile
at it's gleam

goodbye -- jian, 10:27:02 05/08/04 Sat

so you have decided to get off the bus
to let go your seat
is it indeed your stop?
or did you just need a change in the scenery?

perhaps you prefer the tunnel
to the street

the glow of lamps
to the sky

perhaps i shouldnt say bye
for i would only cry

but then i chose to
stay on while you alight

for i gave up my seat
to the elders too often

in a sea of jellyfish
i wonder how is your trip

whether you'd imagine
the sky above

for i will imagine that i am in a tunnel

there -- jian, 23:32:26 05/05/04 Wed

i went back today
i dunno why
but i went back today
i sat there today
i dunno why
but i placed my bag there again today
but u werent there today
so it is true then
i hope u had a better day
then the day i teased u away
on a bus i read a note
which i had wished to hear many moons ago
i dunno why
but my eyes are moist
the day that u were not there
that i acted as if i didnt care

[forty-two] -- natalya, 00:28:13 05/03/04 Mon

Frigid lands. howling mounds, sacred towns
Mirthless men, silent beasts, midnight frowns

Three mentions of Søren two days in a row

  A-HA!

I almost knew what to do and where to go

together -- jian, 13:10:10 04/28/04 Wed

maybe they werent meant to be together
the collision of two worlds
created confusion to give birth

what had they seen in each other
i would sometimes wonder

would they be happier
without one another

contentment they say is the answer
but their tone betrays each other

[6 seconds after you alighted from the bus] -- natalya, 02:29:03 04/27/04 Tue

I regret pulling away when you grabbed my shoulders and tried to kiss my lips
I regret withdrawing my hands when you wanted to hold them
I regret shoving your arms when you mischievously tickled the back of my ears
I regret not reciprocating your hug
I regret looking away when you looked at me
I regret waving goodbye to you
I regret my apparent indifference
I regret not telling you everything

Truth is
every ounce of me wants you
but I'm just not brave enough

You belong up there amongst the stars
not down here with a tatter-winged butterfly

I want to say I love you
but this is one time the heart refuses its role

I want to say I love you
but I'm just not brave enough

my morning love -- sin, 01:49:48 04/25/04 Sun

I wish you would stop giving me that smile, intoxicated with sleep when I kiss you in the mornings.

You whine too, you know. And you laugh in pillows.

When I say goodbye you are not supposed to nudge closer and say dont go.

It all fades when you wake.

imagine -- sin, 01:27:29 04/25/04 Sun

In my dream
you said it was all for me

And I felt closure.

But it isn't me.
I'll always be a Thursday.

A ticket -- Hum Jim Bang, 01:52:48 04/24/04 Sat

Enter Here, he said.
Shown a ticket to a forbidden place,
A strange but familiar place,
A Place, I was once not meant to be,
And A place I almost grown to despise.
But here I am, Stepping onto its virtual soil,
Backed from Recuperation and back in the Act,
but no more worries of being caught in the act,
As this time, its all meant to be.
I AM invited.

running security guard -- jian, 23:52:04 04/22/04 Thu

three times in a straight row
i see a lizard's tail rushing
by in the living room

perhaps he is guarding the house
or perhaps he is trying to escape

but no one is holding him back
from this little frame

there are gaps in the door
there are cracks in the floor

for him to squeeze through
but he's presence will linger
whenever i hear his laughter

[letter #9021] -- natalya, 10:07:20 04/19/04 Mon

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don't you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As they say in Texas, "I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel." You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic colossal parasitic pond scum, and I wish you would go away.

You're a putrescence mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, and a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, revulsion, and a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts that sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, and a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?

If you aren't an idiot, you made a world-class effort at simulating one. You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.

You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.

And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.

On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.

Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

P.S.:
You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratries, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged, imbecile, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, Byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent, libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate, harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, despotic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic, jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, abrasive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, clueless, and generally Not Good.

not a shame -- how, 02:19:40 04/18/04 Sun

no its not.
never a shame when people care
only when you are in trouble.

no its not.
never a shame when people call
only when you are in trouble.

no its not.
never a shame when people cry
only when you are in trouble.

no its not.
never a shame when people miss
only when you are gone.

under a starry night -- jian, 10:02:20 04/16/04 Fri

the darkness reminded me of the light
a time when the moon reflected upon the water

and here i am without you
wondering if i was ever a part of you
because i miss you
i do

i would like to belive
that life isn't

screaming with echos

what i have in my hands
are seconds
going into minutes
which extends eventually to days

doing naught
but living
as a corpse would

killing time
killing time
don't really know what to do
sad is the man
who lives by the sea
wasting time
wasting time
watching as nothing goes by
sad is the man
with an empty life

killing time
killing time
long is the passage of time
sad is the man
with an absent mind
beating time
beating time
ran as the wind goes by
sad is the man
who is tired of life

so sad is the man
so sad is the man
sad is the man
who lives by the sea

through the glass -- Jian, 08:31:07 03/27/04 Sat

i saw you through the glass
your hair is shorter now
your eyes look duller now
you look older now

perhaps it is the wake of work
that draws from people their youth

perhaps it is just that we are apart
so i didnt see you grow

but it is the distance
that makes a difference
that makes em recall
that makes me smile
that makes everyone a part
a part of it all

boyface -- sin, 16:13:12 03/17/04 Wed

fable -- jian, 08:32:00 03/16/04 Tue

the tales we have been told
are but fables

fairytales

about a giant orange
that saw red
when a latte was choosen over him

an elf running in chase across the bridge
only to find himself in some new york avenue

the fairygod mother
laying stiff on the table
covered by a silk blanket
awoken by the tears of cinderella

that puff the magic dragon
looked into the sky to find
that the sky was not blue
but came in many hues

that people are models
standing on pedestals

it is time to come down
dont frown


[ Edit | View ]



table thoughts -- sin, 01:15:26 03/16/04 Tue

I needed a one.

To spread my drawings upon.

I always said that

But I thought you never heard.

You must have climbed in after your rock show

I wished I was here to receive it, together with your sweated scent, I know you would surely ask me if you stink, if you played a good show.

But I love the way you stink. And your show was terrible, you are better off singing your bedroom songs to me.

Maybe I should go look for a pedestal

So I can spread you upon it beneath me.

something is wrong with phantom planet -- sin, 04:51:32 03/15/04 Mon

Burn me down if that's how everything's gonna start
With a flame from the heat off the look on your face
On a day like today
I could have made out every raindrop falling down
On your head
Now I fear that I may taste
These tears rolling down my face
And realize something is wrong
With the light of the sun
In the color of the sky
With you and everyone.

Truth is

Latte -- how, 22:26:55 03/14/04 Sun

The mug was new.
The foam, foreign.
Bubbles were bigger.
Taste was more bitter.

Finally I found something closer.
yet its not close enough.
The milk was weird.
The seeds, probably different.

But it seemed good enough.
Maybe it had been too long.

Finally something I can call
Latte.

Remembering the one in the subway.
Or the one by that frozen lake.

[the blanket] -- natalya, 20:10:26 03/13/04 Sat

You push it, stretch it,
it'll never be enough.

You kick at it, beat it,
it'll never cover any of us.

From the moment we enter crying
to the moment we leave dying,
it will just cover your face
as you wail and cry and scream.

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately.
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.
To put to rout all that was not life,
And not,
When I had come to die,
Discover that I had not lived.
