darling

just dream darling

dream dream your heart out

there isn't a better indulgence

reality's not a consequence

when you smile and carry the dream with you

and it is so much better than any plan


and

why

would you make any plans

if you're not dead


how becoming of you, smiling with your dream


so f the bastards

you are beautiful pure raw perfection, stellar smashing shining you.

you my figment with a dream

i love you darling

fleeting they create a master piece

nothing lasts. but please don't panic
over this fantastic idea,
for it's the only way a moment exists
it's the only way a line of a poem exists
or anything at all

it was the cardboard box at the top of the closet that read
'MOVING ALONG, EVERYTHING PROCESSES IN BEAUTY'
everything in disarray
is suddenly structured, those are
the fragments of your masterpiece

unfinished post

there isn't enough time between thoughts to process them, they just go and go and go like a person trying to walk being pulled by a dog on a leash. none of them ever reach their potential- of arriving at something like a concept. so that's why if i try to send you a message there is a one hundred percent chance you won't receive it

hospice


yesterday i saw what felt like my first patient
history of breast cancer, lung cancer, dementia, strokes
she was jewish a mother and a grandmother
she was petite, she had soft freckled skin and she was dying
there were many photographs in the room, she had been beautiful
today she feels warm; fast heart rate, cheyne-stokes breathing and no blood pressure
but she sleeps peacefully
"it will probably be today"

mrs. k wasn't my patient, but i won't forget her
her warmth and the pictures on the wall
that she was already so utterly confused
but that she heard me, felt me, maybe realized it was the end of something
and that it was okay and it was comfortable

All I know is that I need you

Do not ask me to remember.
Don't try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you're with me.
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.

I'm confused beyond your concept.
I am sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you
To be with me at all cost.

Do not lose your patience with me.
Do not scold or curse or cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting,
Can't be different 'though I try.

Just remember that I need you,
That the best of me is gone.
Please don't fail to stand beside me,
Love me 'til my life is done.

school, and things

by trying to talk to you, i;m really trying to talk to me, but i'm talking to you. we collect words and the meaning that is attempted, does it become more, or less ambiguous ? blaa language

lots of drugs and it isn't a question of need but a question of safe usage and ability to alter some brain functions which make you be a certain way , think certain things, do certain things

a program uses logic, which is scary because a program is not a brain. and a brain is not logic

as usual it is quite satisfying to work tediously and to arrive, to conceptualize the atoms as molecules reacting. it's what they do

so easy that i like to expand all those ideas and it gives me pleasures and anxiety and little problems but i like it and i try to smile at you through the day even if it is hard and i shake and don't feel so well.

i have a whole lot of love

blogging

dear shani (and everyone else), i'm gonna blog more! really! i never post because 1. there's not a lot of projects i'm consistent with and 2. posting stuff is scary! it's weird. i don't know how to filter. i don't know what to filter. i don't know what i am. nevermind about that now. now is about electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, and nuclear chemistry (awesome). it's around 7:30 in the evening, just made fresh coffee, got earplugs and mindfulness bell set and am totally stoked to learn. i haven't done any of the homework and my test is tomorrow. so thrilling. into the hard sciences lately, among everything in the beautiful world. also languages, cultures, my classes etc . woah 20min distraction staring into space. thought about this baby horse , woopie pies (!), the internet, ucsd, god knows what else. maybe i thought about you. i love you,, gaby.

exploring society.

a society--
being swept up
transformed
thrown around
returned
evolving within itself
there is a whole other dimension we've yet to meet ,
it is moments away
the transient revolutions
&trying to keep some standards, like
1. eye contact
2. talknotsmalltalk
3. touch
let go of society, but
again it takes hold, reels you back in
necessary to neglect it
necessary to play it

overload me now
i'll be by the riverbed later

super quick write

i feel so much
i always feel so much.
nervous,
inspired,
bothered,
down
and up,
worn out,
ansy,
slow,
en retard, toujours en retard
pour mon propre fĂȘte ! quelle dommage.
cold
tired
lethargic with little bursts
of energy
compulsive
reckless
awkward
uncomfortable
the empathy
removed
dreaming
bloated
overwhelmed
eee
empowered
strong
loving
hopeful
optimistic
searching
leader,
follower
sexual
maker of ugly art
craving bedtime
and sweets
and exercise
gawking
drooling
boycrazy
two-faced
confident
disturbed
proud
confused
dazed
upset
let down
active,
need to run
to play
to write to love
to DANCE
smitten
crush on the world
people
family
animals
a page of my blog
my garments
and things
and you
YOU
a fool
a rebel without a cause
the music
in my ears
in my heart
the sweat drops
the blood
the occasional tear
i need more tears
no one would understand
i couldn't understand
shine on
that fire
that sex
those dreams
and you're the person
and we're supposed to be in love
but i can't find the words or the expression
i can't find me
me born in july of 88
in hampshire, england
and to be what person
of which community , of which pool of lovers
and in which weather
because where o where
do i need to be
will it ever be right?
when i breathe in
during yoga and stretch my body in all the best ways
and become increasingly flexible
and i take fish oil and aloe juice and my joints work well
and i run and swim
dance and flail my arms
there is always more to stretch and to more air breathe
always
and when i paint and when i study and when i sit at the computer
when i say i love you
the satisfaction does not come
the energy of the universe
imploding and exploding
but staying constant
even making a coffee
or a cake
going out for drinks
taking a walk
instant gratification,
and that's good
and i want more
and i think of funny things
i think of you and i laugh
i think of the world
so beautiful
in every way
there are no words
and so i laugh
there is no satisfaction
and so i strive
harder
cuz you know it's not about getting ahead of anything
besides your own person
there is only you
in the body you've got
what you've got
a miracle
miracle, gift, LIFE
and so i need to preserve life
i need to save lives
i have to nurse you
watch you die
i'll take care of you beautiful thing
like it's the only thing i can do
i love you
you make me feel like a person
passion lover animal dreamer rawr
my babies.
XO.

israeli, on "rights"

you are 18
you are responsible
trusted
carry a gun and protect your country
fight wars
experience crazy shit
yes you are old enough

you are 21
you are responsible
trusted
to drink alcohol
maybe decide to get behind the wheel
and drive your car
yes you are old enough
