The Why is Lyme Disease
The Why is Lyme Disease
I forgot how to recognize
my self in the mirror,
the pattern of words
scrolling through my head:
all line breaks but no
stanzas. I have seen sun
rising red through heavy
curtains, shielding my eyes
from memories of being
able to sleep. Darkness
is home now, my figure
lying beneath fog - brain
fog, they call it - I'm not
the only one this disease
has warped into excuses
and explanations
that don't make sense.
There is no why. Just
a continuation
of how.
How do I make myself
a future
out of this?

Non-circulating Books
Non-circulating Books
Dust-heavy bookshelves petrify
in the back room with lights out.
Cardboard coffins hold skeletons
of stories without backbones,
yellowed with time and peeling
in spots shaped like bruises
or bedsores.
They can be taken out, briefly
for a two hour walk to the copy
machine, but some crumble
when touched by light.
Words once so vital they were
written and preserved, read
and reread - they turn to dust
and linger like ghosts,
abridged to the musty
aroma of old paper.
City Shades
City Shades
The hard gray hurts my heels
which stick unnaturally in places
where tobacco or gum or oil gunk spit
black spots like disease, pox spreading
on city sidewalks. It's just aesthetics,
my problem with the city, a question
of color quantity. Square,
towering gray reflects cinderblock
grays of other buildings; cement
sidewalks and asphalt roads rectangle
out at right angles, broken by black
potholes which gape like the open
mouths of gray pigeons pecking
at refuse and sludge.
I feel small but confined, caught
in a lifeless maze of dark walls
and darker doorways hiding
the pulsing energy of thousands
of hearts beating in tim

New Username Symbols
As part of our ongoing process to make the user experience cleaner and more intuitive, we've launched a new set of username symbols designed to help easily identify deviant-types.
Easily Identifiable
At a glance, the new symbols are quickly recognizable. When hovering over a username symbol, a tooltip appears, providing a brief explanation of that user's deviant-type. If clicked, a modal appears, giving a brief explanation for each username symbol, with "Learn more" links that lead to more detailed explanations.

My Bio
I've been called "eclectic" - like, you know, furniture. I still don't know how to take it.
I'm 25 and full of random, disconnected bits of information, with the attention span and planning capabilities of a mildly deranged butterfly.
Wow, I'm all over the place these days!

Massive Update about Life and Things!
Massive Update about Life and Things!
Hello, lovelies! :wave:
It has been a long time, and I'm very sorry. My life has been quite hectic for a while now.
Allow me to explain:
:bulletblue: I spent all of last July in London with a theater class from my university. I think I left pieces of my soul there. I still don't think I've edited most of the literally 5,000 photos I took.
:bulletblue: In August, when I came back to the States, I discovered that I couldn't finish my theater minor because the university rescheduled my classes. This was sad. Actually, it was quite convenient. Without my theater minor, I could graduate after a semester. So, I convinced a professor to give me
And now... the Weather!

Polar Vortex forever! 
Cease this madness! 
I'm not bothered. 
I've learned to hibernate like a bear! 
"We've got Cabin Fever! We're all going mad!" 
I haven't noticed anything different. 
I live outside the craziness. 
"The cold never bothered me anyway." 
I have become good friends with my blankets. 
I am a hermit, and I am not ashamed.
