looking, desperately searching for a long lost poem. it used to be tacked above my computer. somehow that became too personal when the communal office space was introduced and i put it somewhere. i've seen it recently.
i think.
i didn't throw it away, so it's somewhere in this toosmallwhenyouwantspace toobigwhenyouarelookingforsomething apartment. searching for it, i've found so much other memorabilia that i get lost in times from past years and seem to let my days slip into the vastness/innocence of being younger.
i need this poem. i remember parts, but not enough to identify it. it was next to me, staring at me for 5 years and still-- i don't remember the author or exact wording...how? somehow that illusiveness was exactly what made me understand it in my spine every time i even glanced its way.
dear reader
why don't you write you never write
each day i check the mail
nothing but christmas cards and truss seals
i brush my teeth blood drips down my chin
?

That is a very intersting post. it has left me very confused and i dont know why. hello my name is jake im new here :)
This is part of a poem I saw in an anthology of student poetry printed back in the 70's. I was looking for the author's name, and this came up. Good choice.
