Humanities Headstone

I started with the idea: "i wanna write a haiku 'bout zombies", but I spilled and made a mess :p
I know its not great, but I enjoyed it :]

The whole world is silent,
save for the thump, and the moan
The whole world is quiet,
save for the creak, and the groan
The whole world is still,
save for the rumbles of legion
The whole world is safe,
save for each and every region
My world is dead,
and theirs, ever better
They'tre coming for us,
debt collecters after debters
We deserve it, I guess,
all the waste, and the hate
But I wanted to live,
so I wish they would wait
If someone should find me,
hopefully real dead and alone,
inscribe this,a memoir,
on Humanities Headstone


and P.S.

COMMENT! I hate it when you guys don't comment :/ I know its terribly hypocrytical, but i wanna know what you think of my stuff :[ even if its just "cool" or "that sucked". just do. bye.

Another Movie Review(because that's still the standing challenge, and you all FAIL)

A time to kill
Based on the novel by John Grisham

Starring...
Matthew McConaughey(!) as Defense Attorney Jake Tyler Brigance =]
Sandra Bullock(!) as Ellen Roark, his 'assistant'
Samuel L. Jackson(!) as Carl Lee Hailey, Defendant
Kiefer Sutherland as Freddie Lee Cobb, the main bad guy
Kevin Spacey as Prosecuting D.A., Rufus Buckley



Released in 1996

Directed By: Joel Schumacher

I don't want to get into the plot details, but here are the basics: Two white guys rape and beat a little black girl, and when her dad finds out, he decides to kill them. On their way to trial he shows up and shoots them dead, injuring a cop in the process. He asks Jake to be his attorney, and he agrees for reasons later to be discovered. The brother of the boys killed joins up with the KKK to get his revenge, and see to it that Carl Lee goes to the gas chamber. Roark practically begs Jake to allow her to help him, free of charge, and when he gives in, together they have to convince a racist unwilling jurry to believe that Carl Lee was legally insane at the time of the murder, all the while avoiding death or serious injury that would be inflicted upon them by the Ku Klux Klan. The story is filled with drama and excitement, and I'd say it manages to hold your attention. It's not like the writing is spectacular, it gets pretty awkward at times, but the actors are people i like. I got a little worried there in the middle part, that they would have Jake do something absolutely ridiculous, but thankfully he did not. All in all, it was a pretty good movie, in my opinion.


The richochet poet cafe (first poem of 2009?)

brilliant garden of thought
a solitary dance to remember
it sings like skin

your cool cocktail play
as we meander to prison
beside this rain
immense life
and sky

teach the moon and sun
of a day like night

let music soothe

lounge through paradise
when wicked matter does live

time shall hear you wait.

titled, a boy

I think about his voice
so in love
how he must feel
what luck I have

and then things just started to get too complicated, because I had used all the connecting words I kept needing. So I wound up with things like "dizzy lizard" and "machine motor murmur."
