Poetry Update

10 days between posts is longer than I expected.  Well, I'm busy, and I'm new to this whole blog thing, I guess.  Regardless, this is going to be a pretty brief post - I'm just going to share a few poems I wrote today during Theo class (Don't judge me until you've sat through one of Fr. Roch's theo classes).

They're both as of this moment untitled.  Live with it.

coming to see only now
the gap between what i know &
who i think i am - to say
you're not fucking socrates
its ironic, even socrates knew he
did not know - or especially socrates i guess
but me i dont i just want
to stare out a window &
pretend life is like a movie -
that i already know the plot and
am just waiting for the credits to roll.

In the pub. It's five o'clock,
and it was five o'clock yesterday
around the same time, when he
was in the pub. He wonders if
these thoughts constitute him as drunk,
looks at his warm beer. not yet,
raises the glass to his lips. Five
kilometers down the road is the house.
Silent road silent house. She's not
warming up the last night's lasagna,
not even picking wild gooseberries in the side garden.
