way accidents and creeps
into the brain as we pass by."

"the only truly magical way to listen to music is to 
dub your records onto cassette tape, 
go to an antique store and buy a boom box
or find one online
with ONLY
a radio tuner
and two cassette tape decks
preferably silver
load it up with D batteries
go to a city park with five of your best friends
and play the tape
and repeat the tape
and repeat the tape
and repeat the tape
after awhile their friends and their friends 
and their friends will all join you
before you know it 
there’ll be a crowd of 30 or so
then you can commence with the shenanigans
and have a potluck
and smoke lots of drugs
and drink lots of alcohol
and make sure all your girl friends 
get to know all your guy friends
and when you think the party’s about to run away
cause everyone’s passing out at 4 am
bust out your secret stash of german potato salad"

Junkyard Quote Week 13 extra

"Roland found that the effect of being this close to the thinny was cumulative-it wasn't a sound you could get used to. Quite the contrary, in fact: the longer you were in the immediate vicinity of Eyebolt Canyon, the more that sound scraped away at your brain. It got into your teeth as well as your ears; it vibrated in the knot of nerves  below the breastbone and seemed to eat at the damp and delicate tissue behind the eyes."

From Stephen King's "Wizard and Glass"

Response to Daddy Love his Daughter by Aveguel
Well this story does seem like something that came from a law and order svu episode. It is a heavy topic but you did a good job of not staying directly on the topic. Bringing up the European traditions and deflowering was a good distraction and it lead you right back to the present situation with all of its irony of having "him" walk the speaker down the isle wearing the garter that "garters ink around my thigh". YOu made the garter one of those concrete objects that stand for something way abstract to the speaker. I enjoyed it alot it was very clever.

Calisthenic Week 10

This is the album cover for Circa Survive's Blue Sky Noise. It was done by Easo Andrews

A beast reins cockily, A pop piper
from an Archaic nightmare. It's
scene is framed by hills and trees
covered in clouds that float
through its rainbow updo.

A former Parthenon Prince? Or a temple
dwelling reject draped his hair
in the beast's breath. He thought
of it tamed; a partner. But the
prince of blues did not hear the
seduction in its noise wielding trumpet.

The beast spread it's teeth in Godly
gallons. The prince held his heart and felt
no fear as the beast gulped him down by the ears.

Free Write week 10

I almost forgot the smell of new acoustic wood
after I started to order my lead pencils. My
scratched down strings needed a change.
One that sucked in summer semester hours
filled with why brains reject culture or why
culture absorbs brains. I don't enjoy the taste
 of culture lectures. It's not my genre.
I want the thick crunch of a girl's version
of "Eminence Front".
I want to smile above the waterline for chills.
I want to be the North Atlantic ice pick
that sank your sober ship.
Don't come to my party dead and still
or be killed for thrills.

Improv Week 10

Philip Larkin "This Be the Verse"

School, with all its best intentions, fucks you up.
Teachers with their red marking pens and corporate casual
clothing, they fuck you up too. They want you to think
critically, but not enough to increase their hourly wages.

But they were fucked up by their own system's standards.
By sandwich makers in spring themed one pieces. Who
half the time were looking for husbands and faking smiles.

Man hands mediocrity to man and it spreads like
southern wildfire. Drop out as soon as you can and
self satiate an honest thirst for knowledge.

Sign Inventory Week 10

Philip Larkin "This Be the Verse"

The speaker uses "they" like an "us vs. them" type of mindset. He makes his parent and grand parents seem like abstract people that he doesn't know and will never figure out. He makes them seem shallow by calling them fools and only giving details about the type of clothes they wear.

"Maybe I should just cave in
And let the brittle symphony in
Through it, at least perfection reigns
And everything my body craves"

"Maybe you could say that when the blood

a red Chinese fan."
