lunchboxes to razorblades ------------------------- the photographer fell for your pseudosmiles and left you--there in a perfect box, looking so damn depressed in grayscale .. or, maybe you weren't pretending and maybe you really did, smile .. because you made it--from december rain to lunchroom facades .. where you picked labels off plastic soda bottles and crumbled in sony headphones while you dissolved with blurry backgrounds. left, unfocused. you made it--from thriftstore T's to old backpacks blemished with pins and sharpie markers. as pocketknife signatures on mahogany desktops, fade into your graveyard limestones .. you made it--from lunchboxes to razorblades .. sustained smashing pumpkin songs and funeral fetishes only to be placed in black and white yearbooks, where unused spaces are left there with nothing to do but drown your red autograph and ghost photographs. the photographer fell for your pseudosmiles and left you--there in a perfect box, looking so damn depressed in grayscale .. or, maybe you weren't pretending and maybe you really did smile, because you made it .. because you made it ..

sorry, i havent been here in a while. this second semester at college at dug itself pretty deep in my agenda--work, and school and the little things. i just read that disaster recovery article in the announcements box and came to find out that this poem was lost somehow. and i was told to repost it, so here it goes. sorry for the inconvenience. and it's glad to be here again. see you guys around, --chris.

No no no! This won't do! It has to have lots of votes and be in the book where it belongs. (voting again) Stella was a diver and she was always down. |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Christian, this is exscellent, sweet friend, I just had to vote for this again as this is remarkable! Usually I would hate to be forced to pose in such a position and atmosphere like that, I want the smile to be real and to have bad posture wouldn't cut it for me! This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Christian, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

christian - your writings are so very real. I like the way you write... And I know what you mean about college. After three times, I do know about the time constraints. My vote is cast... BC |
