Wandering the Nicean streets.
White baby powder,
With fake red blood,
Halloween kisses,
And torrential floods,
4 more sets of days,
Espresso and snow,
But soon we’re cut apart,
By the fading glow.

I Am Me
I am me and no one else is me,
What I am and what I’m meant to be
Is nothing but the memory of myself,
My health and borrowed wealth is waning.
No one else can see the things I see,
Be this body or the beating in my chest.
I am all that I possess,
My worries and my stress.
I am my youth, I am my age
And I am turning every page
To what, one day, will be my last
Not turning back upon the past
But feeling forward in the dark
Until I hit the hardness of a rock
That shocks my feeble frame,
And liquefies my thoughts
With the juices of my heart.
So suddenly, when light departs
I am not myself. I am everybody else.

The Stockdale Paradox
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end - which you can never afford to lose - with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
- Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale

"This is a fair request and I promise that I will not judge any person
only as a teenager if you will constantly remind yourself that some of my
generation judge people by their race, their belief or the color
of their skin and that this is no more right than saying all
teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers."

Frothy Coffee
An email I just got from a colleague at work:
James
Just a quick note to say that was about the best coffee I have had during my time at this company.
All the best

Personal Letter No.3
by Sonia Sanchez
nothing will keep
us young you know
not young men or
women who spin
their youth on
cool playing sounds.
we are what we
are what we never
think we are.
no more wild geo
graphies of the
flesh. echoes. that
we move in tune
to slower smells.
it is a hard thing
to admit that
sometimes after midnight
i am tired
of it all.
