Milica Today

Sometimes I think
That my cat loves me
more than my brother-
but that's okay-
Tiger smells better anyway.

09.24.08

My science teacher
feels the need to ruin
my daily lunch break;
"Hair is essentially the crap
of the cells on your scalp."

09.25.08

I haven't lost myself
to the music, nor am I
drunk - this is just
the way this white girl
moves.

09.26.08

Education is the world
of knowledge -
on one's shoulders
three textbooks
means a sore back.

09.27.08

Roll over,
it's three o' clock
in the afternoon;
I'm still waiting
for it to be nine.

09.28.08

I think, you think,
we think, they think;
are any of us thinking
at all, or are we
feeling?

09.29.08

I'm fixing a hole
in my head
where the cold gets in;
since I can't fix the one
where it gets out.

09.30.08

Yes, No and Maybe;
we christened in red ink
the eraser, the makeshift die
rolling across the desk is
divination.

10.01.08

So flattered,
I have become
a pancake;
fluffy and warm
inside.

10.02.08

Everything is so
controversial nowadays...
But not really
people are just so quick
to condemn nowadays...

10.03.08

It's always
heartbreaking
when you can see
the headlights,
but not the train-

then it hits you.

10.04.08

Really? Give
me a break,
a fractured bone
so that I can rest,
for once.

10.05.08

I reach in
to pull out
a lone piece
of joyful
dryer lint.

Where is it?
My notebook is
lost as the ideas
slipping through
my fingers like water.

10.06.08

Thank you all
for the consolations,
but I can't look away
from the test score.
72 is a failure.

10.07.08

I'm drawing a blank
with invisible ink,
or is it a polar bear
in a snowstorm?
Excuses, excuses.

10.08.08

There's a great weight
lifted off my tired heart,
so when will my mood
lift this heavy atmosphere?
Tomorrow.

10.09.08

Ecstatic manners,
unnecessary affection;
"Goal! Goal! Goal!"
Panted by the time
the victory lap is over.

10.11.08

I don't feel
like writing
when I don't
feel like anything
today.

10.28.08

What are these vibrant grey  
walls and cold stone faces
that are keeping me
out of my mind?
I am lonely.

10.30.08

It took many days
and a non-believer
to return my religion.

I'm back with
my pen and my pad,
and more faith
than I ever had.

10.31.08

There's only one
thing that I want
today (everyday)

It's not your candy.
