part1        part2        part3

(Best viewed in Internet Explorer)

snow fell tonight - it would

I watched movies with my parents
until late in the evening
as my dog slept on my chest

I escaped into the easy world of romance
where love emerges from disdain
in small packaged moments of tension

I settled into a warm blanket
grasping my laptop absently
checking scores from around the county

maybe someone will log on
and tell me in a panicked moment
that they always have loved me
and they're sorry for everything

it will surprise me and make me cry
and it will be exceptionally sad
when I respond despondently, "oh"

because I simply can't believe it


I know who I am
and love fits into a box
tailored by knights and magicians

it feels old like a classic novel
wrapped into celephane Disney World

and the grit of my memories
chafe against celluloid dreams

I sit on the other side of the screen
watching and taking notes

I am the Dues Ex Machina
and I wield a pen

or as tonight - a laptop
propped above a small dog
oblivious to the work it takes
to resist the pulls of tethers
endearing me to feel sadness
when the main characters finally kiss
in a predictable candid moment

I am the machinations
around which things happen
