I haven't been on Myspace for a while. Proof: my typing speed has dropped to below 80 wpm.

  Place I went to this morning: the swapmeet

  People I know that I ran into today: Maria Morales, John Vrooman, Shada Lawson.

  Person of whom I asked the meaning of a *bad* word in spanish, causing him to blush profusely and run out of the room in embarrassment: miguel

  What I hear when people talk to each other in Spanish: blah blah blah

  Person who is told she speaks spanish como una mexicana: carrie!

The day fades away like a fog,

As if I could have imagined

Your lips,

Your eyes

The holes you burned in my heart

Heart

Heart

Was it only a dream?

The way you said

My eyes tore you apart-

I don't think I could have imagined it

The way your hair sparkled, glistened and dripped

With water

water

water-

I thought that I had slipped;

But it was just that

The world had turned upside-down

When you walked into the room.

I walked in the sky, wandered on the moon,

Just because you came.
