headaches and revelationsWe keep on because we know we should. But all of them--all of you--need a break from life. Even those of us not in University are still overwhelmed by High School. All of us are stressed and miserable. We are used to having others still happy at the other end of the spectrum, still available to us for love and support. We cannot fathom these gaps that have appeared. None of us really understand the impact that it has.
We are growing seperately now for the first time in years.
Ever since the meeting, we have grown off of each other, followed each other's footsteps, used each other's guidlines, and fell into each other's arms. Now, the spac

Those who don't see the sky Once, when I was very young, my mother told me that when some people grow up, they stop seeing the sky. I found that idea terrifying then, and I still do. Now that I'm older, I see many levels of possible meaning behind that statement. She said that it meant that people would work and never look up. I suppose that it could also mean that people lose sight of their dreams in the midst of daily life. People lose their sense of adventure and stop reaching for the stars as daily life pounds them into routines with no time for them to lay back and daydream.

I see them every day, the people that can't see the stars. I see them as they go along w

seagulls.she liked the idea of seagulls.
she said it was the scavenging.
i knew it was the desperation
the cavalier attitude they scavenged with.

she said
"this fondness sprouts from respect."
i knew it was more of a wish
to be recognized
as a fellow bird.

she said she read poetry
"for pleasure"
i knew she was taking instruction
direction
from the drunks
the desperate
and directionless.

she said she came for me.
i knew she came for the drugs
my starving cats
the seagulls that seem to flock here.

regardless
ill never rise in objection
to entertaining a hopeful woman
in need of depression.

Stars.Stars.

I wish I could see them,
but my eyes are closed
and your arm is tossed halfhazardly
across my chest.
You're dreaming, something sweet and
maybe
maybe just a little bit hard...
like when I bite just
right,
just there,
and you sigh my name.

It's not so bad here in the dark,
in the warm tangle of sheets and breath
and dreams, and flesh.

The stars?
They'll be there tomorrow night.
I'll be
right
here.

the skin gameMother, I fear that my skin, the skin you gave me, is not enough to contain me. One day I will explode out of it, come spilling out of the eye sockets and ears and my poor abused mouth (ah, if only I had tasted your last creation, then I would not be so sorrowful), and I will flood out upon the poor, defenseless world like a terrible, horrible plague. I will scare the poor people to pieces, and they will flee (maybe from this world entirely, if they are fainthearted enough) and will not come back, because an unchained, unhidden me is indeed a terrifying thing. No one wants to know all my thoughts and feelings and deep, dark secrets (relati

jaja, nice picture. Really conveys a smoker's addiction.. I like the setup, and the ash on the cig. Btw.. if you're still smoking, I recommend to read Allen Carr's "the easy way". It made me quit, and makes apparently 8 out of every 10 people that read it do so.. Best thing is you can smoke while you read it. (ps: and I never read books, jeje).

~doncarlo May 22, 2005 Photographer

hahah well, unfortuantely for allen carr, i don't smoke
