<b>The Secret in the Mirror</b></h2>

<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em;">
The mirror is dirty from the detritus of dailiness—<br />I look in the mirror and am freckled.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
A week out from being cleaned, maybe two, maybe more,<br />The Milky Way shows itself in the secret silver,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
This star chart in my own bathroom,<br />Aglow not in darkness but with the lights on,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
Everything suddenly so clear.<br />It is not smear I am looking at, but galaxies.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
It is not toothpaste and water spots—<br />When I look in the mirror, it is writing and numbers,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
Musical notes, 1s and 0s, Morse-like codes, runes.<br />I am looking over into the other side,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: "Poets Electra Web", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.26316em; margin-top: 1.26316em;">
And over there, whoever they are, it turns out<br />They look a lot like me. Like me, but freckled</div>

For without you life
is like a barren horizon.</div>

<pre class="western"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">I hate happy people and their happy lives,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">for they wear happy glasses--</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Lens that makes them smile</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">while the neighbor's house burn.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">When you're dying of hunger in the street,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">these mockingbirds fly by you without a glance.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">They fly, jump, sing,“Hooray life's beautiful!”</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">They read their magazines in the subway</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">while a mother begs for silver coins to feed</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">the tiny, innocent creature in her arms.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">They fucking drive hummers aware that</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">earth's slowly dying of pollution.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Happy glasses are awesome!</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">with them life's mellow and rosy,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Illusions and reality blend</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">and all you see is happiness,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">while sorrow gnaw your soul.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Oh sister, I am not happy</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">and will not be happy,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">for these happy people, I have learned,</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">are but sad clowns wearing happy masks.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Damn be them happy people, fuck them all.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">How can you be indifferent to the human condition</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">when there's too much pain and suffering in this world?
</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Oh Mr. Happy man, what will you do</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">when your happy glasses break?</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">When the weight of reality befall upon you?</span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">When you find yourself in Mr Sadman's shoes?</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Is it possible to
understand the universe, to spread it across a table?</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Perhaps, there is no
such things as supreme understanding; not in this world.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> By Mory Keita</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
An old woman once told me,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“You'll die, boy. Do not fear the
dark.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Death is nothing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What matter is how you will be
remembered, your legacy.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I wonder, my love, will you love me?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
will you love me when darkness falls
upon me,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When I am cold and still like a frozen fish,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
when I shall speak and sight no more?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will you love me when I am rotten and
stinky,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When maggots shall crawl in me, feast
upon my flesh like crows?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
when I am but dust, Then my love,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
will you hold me in your wings and
murmur</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
into my ear,“I love you.”
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Feel my glacial skin against your
fairness,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Press your lips against mine</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And bite the dust as you now bite my lips?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will you wait for me until the
afterlife, if there is one?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will you spend your old days
reminiscing upon the springs and summer of our days?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will you even cry<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">for
me </span></span>for years or a couple of a months?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will you remember me or fall into
another lover's arms?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Then my love, What is love? what is
death? why live? why love?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
For love is death and death is oblivion</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
and in oblivion we fall.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">And because love battles</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">not only in its burning agricultures</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">but also in the mouth of men and women,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">I will finish off by taking the path away</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">to those who between my chest and your fragrance</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">want to interpose their obscure plant.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">About me, nothing worse</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">they will tell you, my love,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">than what I told you.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">I lived in the prairies</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">before I got to know you</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and I did not wait love but I was</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">laying in wait for and I jumped on the rose.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">What more can they tell you?</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">I am neither good nor bad but a man,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and they will then associate the danger</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">of my life, which you know</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and which with your passion you shared.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">And good, this danger</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">is danger of love, of complete love</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">for all life,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">for all lives,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and if this love brings us</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">the death and the prisons,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">I am sure that your big eyes,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">as when I kiss them,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">will then close with pride,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">into double pride, love,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">with your pride and my pride.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">But to my ears they will come before</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">to wear down the tour</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">of the sweet and hard love which binds us,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and they will say: “The one</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">you love,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">is not a woman for you,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">Why do you love her? I think</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">you could find one more beautiful,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">more serious, more deep,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">more other, you understand me, look how she’s light,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and what a head she has,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and look at how she dresses,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">and etcetera and etcetera”.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">And I in these lines say:</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">Like this I want you, love,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">love, Like this I love you,</span><br style="color: #333333;

I am sure that the title of this poem will
immediately remind the name of Rudyard Kipling to most of this blog post
readers. Who is Kipling? If you wondered, is a sign of lack of general
knowledge. Kipling was famous author and poet who coined the historical phrase “The
White Man’s Burden" in his poem of the later name. Kipling actually won
the Nobel prize in literature in 1907. This is not a post about Kipling,
thought I strongly suggest you read this Wikipedia article if I have aroused
your interest. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
</div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
“If”, today’s poem, was written by the forgotten
African American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Dunbar was truly a creative genius though
lesser known than Kipling due to racial prejudices of his time (which I will
not discuss here.) Please read this Wikipedia article about Dunbar,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Laurence_Dunbar">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Laurence_Dunbar</a></div>
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">
There are many things I could say about Dunbar,
though I fear I might not be able to do him justice but his work will. Let us
judge is genius by his verses.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If by Paul Laurence Dunbar</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
IF life were but a dream, my Love,<br />
And death the waking time;<br />
If day had not a beam, my Love,<br />
And night had not a rhyme, —<br />
A barren, barren world were this<br />
Without one saving gleam;<br />
I'd only ask that with a kiss<br />
You'd wake me from the dream.<br />
If dreaming were the sum of days,<br />
And loving were the bane;<br />
If battling for a wreath of bays<br />
Could soothe a heart in pain, —<br />
I'd scorn the meed of battle's might,<br />
All other aims above<br />
I'd choose the human's higher right,<br />
To suffer and to love!

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I hate boring stuffs though I am a boring guy.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Guess I should hate myself.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I got bored and picked up a book
to read, 678 pages long, and well packed.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The story was typical, boy
falling for girl. I like those stories.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The boy did everything boys do to
get girls attention in romance novels.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
You know how it rolls. <span lang="FR">It was a coup de foudre the first time they met.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Then on page 347, the girl died.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I closed the book and found the
writer’s email.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I wrote to her, </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Dear Ms. J.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I‘ve read part of your novel and thus far I have
hated everything I liked about it. Your writing is lyrical, your plot is catchy
but I could not get over page 347.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
The death of the girl pained me a
lot. The boy worked hard to get her love and finally when he got it, the girl
died. I guess you tried to mimic somehow Romeo and Juliette but Shakespeare ‘Killed’
those two at the end of the play. You killed yours at the middle, right when
the reader hopes pours like water from a fountain. I do not know why you killed
the girl on page 347, maybe she will return to the boy in her ghostly form or reincarnate
in another girl. That is all fine but I will never be able to finish your novel
after the girl’s death on page 347.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This is no criticism of your craft (you are
actually the first author I have ever emailed) your story is good but you could
have ‘killed’ the girl a bit later. You could have allowed the boys efforts to come
to fruition.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Ms.
J replied two days later (I did not think she would pay attention my email.)</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dear
Mory,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I am glad you sent me this interesting email. Thank you
for reading my novel.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Your inability to read past page 347 tells me a lot about
you. Hypothetically speaking, if you
were the boy you would have been stuck there after her death. Your problem is not the
book it about your emotional state…</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
J”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I leaned
from reading a book something that I may have never learned about myself. Till this
day I haven’t been able to read past page 347.</div>

<b> Cool Kids </b><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The boy was no shit-talker, no Casanova, no regular boy</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I met him alone, on the sidewalk, throwing stone at pigeons</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I said, “What you doing here, Boy.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Why you care anyway? I am watching birds.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Boy,” I sat near him, “you’re no birdwatcher, and you’re
a punk.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Shut up. See what
you have done. She is gone!”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The boy’s eyes were damp, his eyes fixed at his ex going with the cool kids.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“That girl?” I said</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“No stupid. Birds!”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Your eyes say the girl. You look like you’ve seen an angel.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“She is a bitch!” the boy said.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“You mean that bird that flew away.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“No. her.” The boy said pointing at the girl, “they all
leave me anyway.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“The bird left you because you stoned him.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“And she left me because I am a sucker.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Don’t say that boy. She is a six and you are a seven. “ </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Don’t Bullshit me, tall guy. I am no fool.” The boy said
angrily. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“I am dead serious boy. Tall guy is a fool, but he is no
liar.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“If I’m a seven and she’s a six, why she’s going with them?”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Boy you got no ball. I mean guts.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“And you got them?”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“That’s out of your league, boy.” I said. “That girl is a
stupid bird. Forget her.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“She’s no stupid bird. She is smart. She makes good
choice. She left because I am a loser.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I got no swagger, no money, no cool sneaker and now no
girl friend.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I patted the boy. “Boy, you and I are alike. But I am no
loser and you’re no uncool boy. I like you.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The boy look at me like my brother does sometimes when
I advise him good.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“ Boy you’re a fool like me. Fools do not give up. I am
tell you a story.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“ how a story going to help to win her back.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“ you will see.” I said. “Once upon a time there was an
old fool living in Spain. He’s name, Don Quixote. He was an old fool, a knight
when there was no knight. People told him he was mad and knight are all gone. But
the old fool didn’t listen to their bullshit because he was no people man and
had a dream. That’s boy.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“ and what? How’s that going to help me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“ I don’t know boy. I read it from a book; A good story. You
make of it what you want.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“What do you mean?” asked the boy.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“people thinks you’re no cool, you’re a loser, boy. “ I said.
“But who are they to judge who‘s cool?”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“What do you mean?”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Boy, you’re the coolest son-of-a bitch alive not because
I say so because you should think so. You got something none of these cool kids
does. Trust yourself boy. Let the girl
go. She is a bird amongst millions and all birds aren’t gray.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I said no more word and left the boy as I found him.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I hope the boy found his way. He was a good boy. I liked
him.</div>

His poetry his eloquent and impregnated with passion. I particularly enjoy his poem, which i am posting for the day, Hell is a lonely place. I hope you enjoy each of its words as i do. The poetry is indeed sad but it's beauty is exquisite.<br />

<br />
<pre>he was 65, his wife was 66, had
Alzheimer's disease.
he had cancer of the
mouth.
there were
operations, radiation
treatments
which decayed the bones in his
jaw
which then had to be
wired.
daily he put his wife in
rubber diapers
like a
baby.
unable to drive in his
condition
he had to take a taxi to
the medical
center,
had difficulty speaking,
had to
write the directions
down.
on his last visit
they informed him
there would be another
operation: a bit more
left
cheek and a bit more
tounge.
when he returned
he changed his wife's
diapers
put on the tv
dinners, watched the
evening news
then went to the bedroom, got the
gun, put it to her
temple, fired.
she fell to the
left, he sat upon the
couch
put the gun into his
mouth, pulled the
trigger.
the shots didn't arouse
the neighbors.
later
the burning tv dinners
did.
somebody arrived, pushed
the door open, saw
it.
soon
the police arrived and
went through their
routine, found
some items:
a closed savings
account and
a checkbook with a
balance of
$1.14
suicide, they
deduced.
in three weeks
there were two
new tenants:
a computer engineer
named
Ross
and his wife
Anatana
who studied
ballet.
they looked like another
upwardly mobile
pair.</pre>

<b>Aragorn:</b><br />
<i>Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass<br />
grows<br />
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it<br />
goes.<br />
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you<br />
bring to me tonight?<br />
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'<br />
'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide<br />
and grey;<br />
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away<br />
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.<br />
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of<br />
Denethor.'<br />
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked<br />
afar,<br />
But you came not from the empty lands where no men<br />
are.'</i><br />
<br />
<b>Legolas:</b><br />
<i>From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from<br />
the sandhills and the stones;<br />
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it<br />
moans.<br />
'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring<br />
to me at eve?<br />
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.'<br />
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell -- so many bones<br />
there lie<br />
On the white shores and the dark shores under the<br />
stormy sky;<br />
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing<br />
Sea.<br />
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind<br />
sends to me!'<br />
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs<br />
south,<br />
But you came not with the ailing gulls from the grey<br />
sea's mouth.'</i><br />
<br />
<b>Aragorn:</b><br />
<i>From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past<br />
the roaring falls;<br />
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.<br />
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you<br />
bring to me today?<br />
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'<br />
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he<br />
fought.<br />
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they do the water<br />
brought.<br />
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid<br />
to rest;<br />
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its<br />
breast.'<br />
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward<br />
gaze<br />
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'</i></span>Moryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304732436445735633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865251503957563185.post-79280481415426313902011-05-28T18:22:00.000-04:002011-05-28T18:22:13.218-04:00I am still here<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WaoJxaJ_vBM/TeF1EEWEzsI/AAAAAAAAAnc/cA6tynF3Roo/s1600/i-am-here-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WaoJxaJ_vBM/TeF1EEWEzsI/AAAAAAAAAnc/cA6tynF3Roo/s320/i-am-here-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

you will no longer hear the nightingale's song.<br />
The Beloved is all; the lover just a veil.<br />
The Beloved is living; the lover a dead thing.<br />
If love withholds its strengthening care,<br />
the lover is left like a bird without care,<br />
the lover is left like a bird without wings.<br />
How will I be awake and aware<br />
if the light of the Beloved is absent?<br />
Love wills that this Word be brought forth</span>Moryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304732436445735633noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865251503957563185.post-46794124527025941782011-02-19T12:58:00.000-05:002011-02-19T12:58:27.596-05:00My heart is like a star By Mory Keita<br />
