North Water

pedal petal peddle
sing a song from your
ex-boyfriend's band
pedal to the prairie
sing the velvet underground
and nico
pet a pet a pet
till tangerine
gumball fish jump

be sure to do this very early
fore the yuppies take their
atkins runs

Woke up at 4am feeling like a blob. Rode my bike for a couple of hours to this prairie-type area with all sorts of flowers and birds. Will ride more often so I'm strong enough to make it all the way to school by the time my 30-day CTA pass runs out.

People still read my stuff at darkpoetry.com. Weird..
I think my writing has improved since then. I found this poem from when I first started at Columbia. It's kind of cute how innocent I sounded.

Art school boys
like to kiss in the rain
he writes you a poem
'cuz he feels your pain
he likes it in costume
he likes it in chains
he takes your naked picture
turns it in and gets an A

Art school boys
set the mood just right
he sings to you
while adjusting the lights
the camera can't see you
if it's too bright
but you didn't know it-
the lens out of sight

Art school boys
ask to paint your breasts
you feel like a model
beautiful and blessed
he says that you're a natural
he says that you're the best
but when he reaches for you
you know he's like the rest
