A Day In The Life

Hey gear, at this rate with your poetry, you probably could make a whole book of poems with boredom as the theme. :cool:

Here's why I'm bored. I have graduated from film school as you know so I guess this is a time of many changes. One, friends moving to different parts of the country (or international friends going home), friends moving in with boyfriends, friends moving away to study elsewhere and friends who just live too far away. I don't have any friends that live locally anymore which is a real shame coz I can't just see them over the weekend or go out with them anymore. It's a big operation just to spend a couple of hours with them. And I still don't have a boyfriend or any potential dates. Other than my brother, I don't have any relatives close to my age to hang out with.

And I have done everything you can do on the Gold Coast (theme parks, water parks, video game arcades, beaches, casinos). On top of that, my best friend's in hospital, getting an operation today on her arm, she has multiple fractures from a workplace accident and is getting a 5 inch pin in her arm. So what can I do other than work? I worked extremely hard all year right to medically recognised exhaustion and anxiety attacks, so this is the time for me to relax and play. But how can I play if all my playmates have left and too busy with their lives, which is fine, but I'm kind of left out in the cold.

Hah ha, and starve. :p

I can really relate to your first paragraph. I moved away from my old town to the city, away from friends. We too have a hassle meeting up. However, with winter break on it's third week (one of those due to a recent snow storm) we're relatively content having no school.

Ah, but I got a [new*] computer so my ties with civilization are still [somewhat] connected.

And then there's the dog who's looking at me expectantly inviting me to scratch her belly.

Boredom does occasionally set in, but I usually drown it with coffee and music or whatever.

It's all good.

Leather Tramp Pt. One

Was a restless Leather Tramp
With nothin in my pocket 'cept some lint and a quarter buck

Found myself in Double Bell, Kansas
Where the wheat don't grow under nothin but plain's sky

Wandered into the Americana town
And got in trouble with the police man

Ended up sitting in a wooden chair
At this buckshot patty station

When the sheriff lit his smoke
I grabbed my coat and reckoned it was time to go

My boots nearly set fire
Running down the road singin 'Helter Skelter'

Down passed the drive-in picture
Found a Mexican with a van through chance encounter

He floored his pedal and kicked back gravel
And cut the night with our maniac laughter

I woke in the morning when kicked out the door on my back, in the dirt
I'm still not sure why; no Espanol, Senor

When he sped off in a furry of dust
I sat up and took a look for myself

Heard a guy playin a twang heart, slow drawl 3 note riff
And in the opposite direction, saw non less than you'd expect

A slow revolving windmill and old picket fence
Property of some daddy's farm...

Everything/many words
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I'll take all my time
Writing you a rhyme

Why do I insist
On telling you all of this?

Caffeinated since today's birth
What is it I'm worth?

Reminded of all that's wrong
Crafting a ghey little song

Is it a stupid crime?
Well, forget it-nevermind


How do I say
All I feel today?

Sometimes it's hard to say
Because the words get in the way

Eyes and skin like a dream
I know I'm not quite much for that sort of thing


Tomorrow's new
Tomorrow's new and so are you

Tomorrow's new
New and so are you

There was an owl I heard as a child
It’s “hoo”s were that of water colors
It lived in our village where we began growing into being
Any more simple or deep magick I know of not
Before we were mangled by the machine

Summer Night

The summer night air was alone and darkened
Except for two who only just noticed
Inspired by the absence of prosecutorial eyes
We indulged in ourselves

She did not restrict
In fact, her advances were heavily unto me
She was not starved though, her lips indicated
Only sharing the angst that had brewed since our introduction

Under dark eyes my fingers ran through black hair
A non verbal smile
I might as well have been thrown in the river
And it did not bother me for any ounce

Today and Spring
By *gear guardian (duh)


Today I don't feel quite as lame
Sitting drinking aspartame
Put on my yellow shirt and favorite jeans
Made my coffee with regular flavored beans

And spring is hovering in the air

It's been nearly a year since I made this place home
Before the hop plants had fully grown
Grey sky and deep green trees
Songs and incense and broken lavatories

And spring, she hovers in the air

Over Violet Sky





Night comes creeping
Over violet sky
Soft orange orbs glow their way for no one
Bare and thin trees grip one another with quiet care
And their ever green siblings line the fringe
Over which night falls heavier
And emerging from the distant scene
A towering steel mammoth stands dormant
It?s red beacons watch us
But it too becomes drenched in silhouette
And all has melded into a black abyss
Now night has crept
Over violet sky​

Curious Endearment




I bother not understand
But I accept it
And I don?t bother understand them
But endearment is seeded
Simply the natural and often cruel function
Perhaps I merely see the fertility in her eyes?
This curious hypnotism
And I surrender all hope to clarify

Of Brick, Steel, and Grit



Underneath the time swept shelter
Sitting on the brow of a two wheeled trailer
Surrounds a garden of broken glass and eaten fences
Starring at the desolate, molded tracks
They feed to the trussel that knew many wandering strangers
I know a place of rusting behemoths,
A white wooden spire?s backdrop,
A peak and fringe of beauty and shrillness
The haunts of a perturbed drifter​
 
Of Faith Love and Circuits

Inside thoughts of perpetual youth
Bursting for the excitable clan
Red faced, sullen, and yet delighted
Four walls illuminated, though a pale vail
Gate of escape, the haven awaited
Raw and wild, this psyche unleashed
Not even here is charity unconditional
Yet to the flame, to the flame, stand not drifting
Dreams of youth continue reaching
