What I'm listening to right now: Summer is Over by Jon McLaughlin

B- College Poetry

Death and Human Stupidity

Each time we evade death,

we're made ignorant fools.

We smile at strangers

and find the moon profound.

But soon change is garbage,

coffee is black,  and walking the streets

at night is miserable and outrageous.

Escaping death is too convenient.

We forget

our colors are not perpetually fast;

they fade from exposure, and our engraved

epitaphs fade from erosion. Sunday words are lost

on the dead, eulogies like the work of Ovid.

I see Lucille Ball arriving on the shore

of the River Styx

and blinding Charon with a frying pan

with Three Stooges audacity.

The Big 1-9

Spencer's April-May Videoblog

I made another one! This one's from April 8th to May 13th. It's been a month (ish) filled with guitar and reading and tea and my cat, Josephine, and not that much else, and what else is new?

Anyway, I hope you had a really great month (ish), filled with things you love as much as I love guitar and reading and tea and my cat, Josephine.
