Bad Poetry

bad poetry

love has been over-written
there is not much left for me.
even so, as I fall asleep
I write a romance
on your back, in circles.
my feet between your sleeping legs,
I keep quiet to keep you near.
I want to super glue your lips to mine,
to be held until we are faultless,
seamless, tucked in each another's skin,
like the chinese dumplings we botched
together.
I am happy to love vulgarly:
More, Most, Insatiable,
common notions in my head.
I am happy with the bad poetry
that is loving you.

Dan's First Impression

Dan and I met at Estes Park for our medical school class retreat.  I decided to run (unopposed) for class vice president, and this was my speech:

So. Yeah! I'm so thrilled to be here. I can't WAIT to meet everyone. I know that I can prove, to each and every one of you, that I am 100% responsible, serious about this job, and a skeezy, shmoozing brown noser. And now, I will entertain you with some gratuitous doctor jokes.

Did you hear about the baby born in the high tech delivery room? --It was cordless!

Nurse, how is that little boy doing, the one who swallowed 10 quarters? --No change yet!

I've never held a formal officer position before. However, I did some babysitting in junior high and high school. I totally think that counts. Haha. No, really... I've also been a camp counselor. And a sexual assault peer counselor, on blahblah committees, blahblah honor roll, an uber-liberal crusader writing on internet forums for the good of mankind, a program director in pediatric burns at Harborview hospital, and a stripper.

As you can see, I'm probably overqualified. Fyi... that last bit was a joke. Not that there is anything shameful about partaking in America's fine sex trade. Hookers are your neighbors, too.

So, uh, I'm looking at the job description here, and it, like, looks totally doable. Lemme see... organize stuff, vote on things... basically just be there on the off chance that both co-Presidents kick the bucket.
