  • red whale

    where is this island, this thought? to find the shore i’ll seek its waves, the ripples
    as it moves about like a weighted freighter
    spewing rusted ruffage, powdery rouge

    that red whale! for others white
    and when my toes can bleed across its shores
    i’ll finally break it down, smelt it, smash it to the deep
    watch it writhe as it drowns, caked in its own vomit

    i’ll do the back stroke above a watery grave
    looking to the blue sky and whistling with a smile
    the sound of silence, of wind, of breath
    a calm night to finally rest my shoulders on.

  • Time of the introvert

    It’s nice that introverts are getting more attention.

    In the recent slew was this one from the Huffington Post about signs of introverts. Here are the ones that most jumped out at me:

    • You go to parties -– but not to meet people.
    • Downtime doesn’t feel unproductive to you.
    • Giving a talk in front of 500 people is less stressful than having to mingle with those people afterwards.
    • When you get on the subway, you sit at the end of the bench — not in the middle.
    • You’re in a relationship with an extrovert.

    There are, of course, more that I connect with than others. And yes, one or two that I don’t think relate to me at all. Either way – sounds pretty damn close.

    While “Introvert” may or may not be groundbreaking anymore, keep in my this was originally written about a year ago in an old defunct blog of mine.
    I am blowing off the dust and giving this a new home.
