it's so lovely out today! i need to lay outside in my hott bikini and get tan, but i can't. work. but it'll be awesome because all the cool kids are working tonight.
christa and i were talking about poetry becuase i have to present a poem in front of the class. i decided on mirror by sylvia plath. i've read her stuff before and really liked it.
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. What ever you see I swallow immediately Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful--- The eye of a little god, four-cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall. It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers. Faces and darkness separate us over and over. Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me, Searching my reaches for what she really is. Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon. I see her back, and reflect it faithfully. She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands. I am important to her. She comes and goes. Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness. In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.
i saw sam today and she's giving me a ride home from work, again. i love her with my little emo heart!!!
