 Wrote a poem about the contrast between idealized memory of someone I haven't seen in years with the reality, and the danger of rose-coloured dreams gradually supplanting the conflict-laden reality in our recollection of people.

I could not come up with another poem after that, so this is a downward trend in terms of my recent level of productivity, but I am still on schedule to be done on time.

Roses are red,
Lilies live on water,
Damn, Girl
You used to be hotter.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

How reminiscent of the white kid at my work who was talking about people who are "full-on black." He was beat down after the 3 other black people and I in my department took him to task.

That song gave me a headache.

Nearly had my life ruined by a girl back in 95. Thought it was the end of the world. She wound up divorced with a kid and a hundred extra pounds ten years later. Now she just married a fat guy who could pay the rent.

 Failed to get a poem out in the time I allotted myself for it! I declined my roommate's invitation to go eat, and instead subjected myself to the cold austerity for fifteen minutes. I will eat when I have a sonnet done.
