Jessie<\/a> and I have been discussing the odd things we wrote when we were younger. I’ve been finding old journals and papers as I unpack. She’s telling me of a journal she kept when she was a depressed teenager. In return I’ve unearthed my carefully hand written copy of a Philip Larkin<\/a> poem I used to have pinned to my wall. However, I’ve had a bit of a realization. It’s a bit odd that I used to have it up, that I wrote it out at all, because I wasn’t an angsty sixteen when I agonized over the loops and curls of the letters, no. It’s from when I first learned cursive. It’s from grade two. <\/p>\n

Beyond all this, the wish to be alone:
\nHowever the sky grows dark with invitation-cards
\nHowever we follow the printed directions of sex
\nHowever the family is photographed under the flagstaff-
\nBeyond all this, the wish to be alone.<\/i><\/p>\n

Tyler<\/a>‘s asked me to join him at Sanctuary tonight, the vancouver goth night. I’m considering it, though there are other options I’m weighing. There’s a sort of odd balance at work; do I lazily wander out close to home to dance hard for hours or do I force my extra mile and drag myself up Main St. to sit quietly for some brilliant poetry? It’s all about the when<\/i> of the effort, of tossing the body beauty around in gravity. Katie<\/a> is proving a brilliant distraction conversation and perhaps winning the war for me. (You should all go look at her pretty pictures<\/a>). If she keeps me on-line long enough, Tyler will simply arrive at my door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
