9. for a year straight:
Waiting for the Sun
Jonathon Vann

I - Late Nights
The digital digits
glowing a monstrous red
march forward,
a constant time traveler am I,
always stuck in singular moments.
Comforting whom I seek comfort
from
till nearly dawn -
It never seems to dawn.

II - Sightless
You vision like that of a bat,
your perception the recipient of
the silver medal in
The Special Olympics,
your care as callous
as father’s frigid hands.

III - Yet
Emotions running hot
as the stove you forgot
to cool,
mine for you,
yours for that of
another.
Then,
another,

Then yet another and yet again I am there and yet again I am
not
anything,

but the comfort blanket taken out of the antiquity chest
for the occasional ’dear diary’ testimonial of feelings, events,
but never to continually warm.

Taken for granted
as if I were
freedom, shelter, food,
a favorite episode of Scrubs
or a cheesy chick-flick perhaps?

IV - The Proletariat
And still your blind-man’s cane,
its tip stained from repeatedly
stabbing through the very center
of me,
cannot sense the vibrations
beckoning the return
of my central pumping station-
For the workers grow weary.

V - Love You
I cradle you as though I-
Imagine that!

VI - Assume
Stroking your hair,
assuming the sun’s arrival,
making an ass
out of U
and ME.

VII - Cigarette
A shared cigarette
on a bench,
a kiss through thought,
through smoke signals,
ignored under
the green canopy,
under the grey skies,
under the title of
“friends.”

VIII - Still
I am the call-less rooster,
the sleepless owl,
the statuesque tide,
the ever visible moon.
I am the romantic cliché,
the lightning lacking thunder,
the solo-pole magnet,
the self-admitted prisoner.
I am waiting for the sun,
still.

11. 4 out of 5 doctors agree:
falling in love with your best friend is not a good idea

13. You can copycat Skinner, but most of us don't dare to "poke the bear"
:)

15. I hope he finds it somewhat amusing...
I think he has a sense of humor... otherwise, the Lounge would have been "closed" a long time ago! ;-)
