If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?" taken from The Merchant of Venice, Act 3 Scene 1 bleeding scarlet by laceration audibly amused through titillation beautiful ladies diminish survival launches...

Life at 21, do you remember it? Things rush at you, hit you, from all directions. Any small decision can turn into a major plot beat. What are our lives anyway but the sum of our decisions? Opportunities contract and expand around us, like breathing— and what fills those lungs are our test scores and faculty opinion. College is a land...

Premium Member Askers and Deciders
The civilization of askers Waits in the world of deciders The queues tend to go faster The lost need to find their finders Any road needs an excavation Some fenced pits of debris What looks clean needs contamination Regardless if some may disagree I need to take my annual tests Maybe I’ll get new prescriptions I won’t mind to get more rest Can’t give...

Here’s to scrumptious nights. cats and boots and cats and boots We went clubbing last night, to recalibrate ourselves on the dance floor, where magic happens. cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots To focus on sensory experiences, the beat, and share in the fun and tangible sense of freedom. cats and boots and cats and boots Feel the...

Poem I wrote at the beginning of the school year
We all bathe here in the leaking fluid of the school's belly, unconcerned by the world, because as far as we're concerned, the only thing that matters are the results for a test. Art is dying because we are forced to hinder our creativity. All we are left with when the seven hours are up are impressions of our former...

Sneezing fit tests nasal septum
Sneezing fit – tests nasal septum The word Gesundheit was first used in English in 1914. It became popular in the United States due to the many German immigrants who moved there. Many Americans may not be aware that Gesundheit is a German word, or even what it means. Contrary ro popular belief, I experience sneezing fits every now...

Life tests us again and again, until wisdom’s ingrained and our darkened heart cleansed from stain, that our soul be unchained. Know that God dwells inside, so blushing like a bride, please enjoy life’s joy ride. God jests ~ Life tests...

It’s monsoon season here in New Haven, gone, are the banked, fluorescent colors of sunset. This feeling hit me, like a rogue wave. “We have to go out tonight,” I announced, to no one in particular. I think I’d hit my capacity for monotony. Lisa looked up from her book. “The moment has to happen,” I continued, with an animal-like awareness of...

All That Will Come
Come grief it will come. Kingdom come on the run. Come fires. Come floods. Come all that will be— I’ve already won. I will fall and falter. But I learn and grow taller. All that will come makes me stronger and faster. All that will be ends up my victory. I do not give up. I get back on my feet. Tests and trials ahead we all get kicked down. The smiles...

Grades and Tests
No one ever told me to enjoy my childhood. No one ever forced me to enjoy my childhood. They graciously let me study for my tests. Tests that contain circles and an X here and there. Paper that tells me that I’m not wasting my time, being a teacher’s pet. Once in a while, the teacher would call me to...

I’m toey this morning, we’re getting a test back. I was all right or all wrong. I’m early, the first one here. I’m hoping the TA will early-bird and return my test before anyone else gets here. That way, when I run and jump out the 3rd story window, no one else will be traumatized. I’m...

Good neighbors, sweet friends, Can you forgive me? In long, still and creeping hours of study, I can be stern and inaccessible. My studies tax me to basest function, resting, weight-like, on my wretched shoulders. I, too-weary, ebb and at times, tend to spare few feelings and gall, as if licensed. Sometimes I go, unwillingly to class, a melancholy lass. Please, if we...
