You, my ever-gracious throngs of adoring fans, must be eager with anticipation for my upcoming blog about the presidential campaign. The primaries are underway. Mudslinging is in no short supply. Media pundits are in political orgasmic ecstasy. (Eeewww. Perhaps I should not have let my mind stray that far!) In any case, my essay will be nothing short of hilarious, insightful and rather vitriolic. I'm gonna tear a few people some new ones 8-P Be patient. My wisdom and wit is forthcoming, my future minions and underlings ... er, I mean friends, Romans, countrymen!
For now, I entertain the masses with poetry courtesy of one of my English courses at The University Formerly Known as Southwest Texas. Enjoy. Remember: it's polite to laugh WITH me, not AT me ;-P LOL
Understand
a gap
is not
a nothing
the temptation
of an open space
is to fill it
of a silence
to break it
of a look
to speak it
and still
solitude
may foolishly be constructed
as loneliness.
Was Not Meant
I saw you next in line
you looked my way
our eyes locked, I looked down
you continued to stare
I shifted my feet
you continued to stare
I looked up at you and smiled
you looked down
what could have happened?

If originality strikes me in the immediate future, perhaps I'll attempt an epic poem in ancient Latin. Just maybe. If you're nice to me. And say pretty please.
