One Year's Time

Written May 2010


And I wonder if going to college in California where there is no difference in the weather

Is really necessary

And you say it’s lovely

(for old people who have already felt)

But either nice with a side of beautiful

Or gorgeous with a chance of happiness?

How pure and organic is your sugar. Oh, it’s sin - thetic?

I rather like moping on the rainy days

And besides, people that live in California have mental disorders

From a lack of balance

And I wonder if living in Wisconsin where spring doesn’t come till June

Is really desirable

And instead of moping? I’m outraged!

(Why the hell haven’t the trees bloomed)

Mental disorders? As if they weren’t there before,

Because what kind of teenager

Writes a winey poem about moving to Los Angeles!?

I clearly already had problems. And besides

Emptiness still exists in warm weather

But it can be tempered by an afternoon at the pool.
