That Internal Itch that only goes away when you forget

I lost my key.  This is the fourth time I believe.  I felt pretty stupid the first time.  So the fourth time, to no ones surprise, feels similar.  Here's the best scene from Romeo + Juliet, which was interesting but not great.


Losing a key is one of those things that breaks the camels back for me.  In addition to losing keys, I'm also bad at school which is most likely a reflection on how well I'll be able to sustain myself in the future.

I saw something beautiful today that I'm excited to show a friend.

Reckon, a poem

My family brings me up
Bright and Beautiful


My family moves and loses
members of it's ranks
Beautiful and Bright they were
One's gone off to fight tanks
And another off to college
And one day I watch Father of the
Bride and I hate every man that might marry
away my dear sister


My family brings me up
Foolish they are my own
Blood in my veins must mean 
They'll share my pains, I'm lean
And skeletal and far away


My family sails th'Atlantic 
And I'm a child no longer they fear
Detestable in taste and sight
"But blood will keep us near
Though we will cough and wish to spit
Hoping you were not our own"
A changeling I can't make me be
Wearing us all to the bone


It is fear that drives them now
They've spent their whole life through
Teaching themselves that Family's best
But Mother and Father had other families that are
Less important now


And here's what I'm saying:
"Why should I spend and invest in a ship
That is sinking
And you all know it"
And they say back:
"You're wrong"
And they yell back:
"Why would you say that?"
And they scream back:
"I didn't build this ship just so that 
I'd drown alone."
But then they're weeping
Because the water is inside them
And the ship is already leaking.
