Walking home from class
I’m moving my website around and so I’ve imported my poetry into this blog. I was tagging all of them and then I came upon this poem. It was only a draft, so I’m going to share it with ya’ll. It’s about my experience getting bitten by a dog. Originally from Sept. 2005
thinking about loud neighbors
I want to sleep with no noise
I look at house number 825
the door opens
a big dog running towards me
a man yelling for it to stop
I’m not afraid
it happens so fast
I don’t notice the pain
six scrapes on top
all in a row
and two holes below them
those are new
my face must look funny to the owner
I’m still not afraid
still not in pain
“did he get you?”
I look down again
missing skin
puncture wounds
“yes sir, he did”
I go inside this house
a mess of a home
the short stubbing wife
getting me some hydrogen p
“it might sting”
she’s nervous
I’m nervous
I feel bad
I’ve ruined these people’s day

Late Halloween
I’ve been meaning to post these pictures for a long time, but it took me 1.5 months to actually take them. Anyway, this is my Halloween costume. I really wanted to be Jan and Wayne Skylar from Tim and Eric, but no one wanted to be my Jan. So after much thought, it hit me that I should dress up as facebook. That’d be so easy and fun. Just need some cardboard. About two days before Halloween I realized that I should be a facebook profile of a cherished Halloween costume fallback. My first instinct was ghost, vampire, or zombie, but pirate was an easier costume to find, and was ultimately more fun in the end.

So the costume really consists of a huge piece of cardboard painted and written on with permanent marker. The fun part is that the costume is interactive. I folded some flaps back for photos and info. So if someone pushed the info button, I would unfold the middle two flaps and it revealed some more info. If someone hit photos, I poped the top flaps open and I had some pictures of pirates (all images of pirates are from google search and belong to their original owner).
I also brought a permanent marker for people to write on my wall. You can see them all in the pictures. Also, if people wanted to send me a message I had a pad of paper and pen in my pocket for them. Only one person tried it, but I was glad that I had that covered. Finally, if someone poked me, I generally poked back. It was a super fun costume, I might utilize it again seeing as it only got about 3 hours of use. I hope ya’ll love it.

I really dig the title of this post. I was reading my past posts and saw this. My sis used it as a sign in name. Good one! poetry.
