Run


You can only write when you feel like it
Do you feel like it? I feel like dancing. So let's do it!
Let's go and runrunrunrunrurun
to the cities, to the bikes, to the places that I could be
instead of here. Always here.
I will laugh at it. They can't hold me, their tender is wrong.
So you run with the boy to the place to be
To pick up fields and broken houses and make them our own.
Oh, I dream and they taste so delicious!
To live there

School puts pressure on my chest and the heart BEEPS BEEPS and flutters, feels nervous.
There is no school to satisfy. Quit.

These people are lovely, though. I will take them with me.

I think about summer, boy, rebuilding, Africa

You do start it too fast. Your air doesn't breathe without it.
But hold up and hold your breath. Because there is no drowning.
Just take it one, two, three, one, two, three, they always come in threes.
How many threes? About three pairs.
The songs have stopped but the plays have begun.
Act 1 is to present. You will love it, I know how to make you love it.
Oh but the latter, it's entirely different. It's where the weak shows and you
begin to understand the boredom. Never never. It's just a joke
Is it a joke? It's too beautiful to keep. I'm not talking about what you think I am,
I have felt a fresh Spring in my face. The rain is currently washing away the old.
Don't freeze don't freeze they will know.Bam! And you run away.
That's how to do it. That's how to keep your promises
I made to myself.
Became an old maid with thick glasses and a fresh keep to the self.
But I can experience running and laughing, where is it coming from?
It's coming from hobbits still, or fields, or ideas of company. To travel
run run run I GOTTA GO she says
It's thick and hard to keep off, I'm spraying I'm washing.
There's a blue here that's difficult to look away from. I don't want to fall so I gotta look.
one, two, three and you keep counting threes the threes i want a four, so i will count.

Uganda

In June comes the day that I have been preparing for for under a year now.
On the 14th of that month I will be traveling from Minneapolis to Chicago, Chicago to Brussles, and then finally on the 15th I will be arriving in Entebbe, Uganda. I will then be transferred to Lake Bunyonyi (right above the boarder of Rwanda and Tanzania) where I will be working with African children, teaching them Art and English. I will be staying in huts, and Uganda will be my home.

When you realize your potential in this life, other matters effect you less. So all you broken hearted, or just plain broke fools, I say to you to quit your pain and your paying and start to recognize all of the other incredible opportunities that can come so easily to you.
