Jerry

once i had a fish

his name was jerry

he was very dear to me

one day i came downstairs and he was gone

he had disappeared

poof

he was gone, just like that

"Hello"

"Hello"

"May I see your passport please..." "Thank you mister, welcome back."

All the formality seems stupid, being kind. It's the nice thing to do. Why be an asshole? But then I can't really find a real reason to. You will never see that person again. You spoke one word to a stranger, you'll never see him again.

Everyone's so isolated.

I wish I could just talk to him, the man in the airport. Tell him how stupid I think it is that we have to talk to each other, be nice. I'm never gonna see him again.

When you feel very lonely, truly alone. There isn't anyone that 'gets' you. Why do you have to be so picky? Why does everyone seem stupid? I don't want to lower my standards, but otherwise

I want to like someone, a girl. I want to want to be with someone, just because I want to. Not because I feel alone, horny or sad. I don't know what to do.

I want to go back to school, be with people. Maybe then.

How do you cope with loneliness?

I sleep with three pillows, two stuffed animals and an extra blanket scattered around my bed

It helps

Toothpaste for Dinner

I dislike Sundays

I spend all Sundays alone

I'm broke and have nothing to eat here

I watched a poetry reading online and felt like I had a good time

I just wish I had people to do things with

Or we don't have to do anything, we can just stay here and watch movies on my computer and eat together

I don't have food so we'll have to go outside to buy things to eat

I want pizza but have no money to order pizza and even if I did I don't think I would order it because it's just me

I don't want to eat cup noodles because I ate that yesterday and I don't want to eat quesadillas because I ate that earlier today

Those are my only options

I always have only two options

Life or death

It's a win-win situation

I'm sorry

I don't know how to love

I've been using WDYL a lot, it's very fun and it can potentially be used for poetry.

Starting with Steve Roggenbuck's loved concept of lief.

I also tried a personal favorite "poop".

I really like the word "poop". I think it's very funny and versatile. I submitted this to Internet Poetry and I'll update a link if it gets 'featured'.

I'm going to transfer all my bookmarks to your web browser

I'll tell you my favorite websites, blogs, movies, and music

I'll copy my interests to your StumbleUpon account

I'll tell you what people to follow

I'll tell you who to friend

You're gonna do a lot of reading

We'll let 6 months pass by

Then we'll be best friends

I am celebrating Fourth of July right now. Drinking lots of beer. Wearing a U.S. brotank.

I don't really agree with what the U.S. stands for: Capitalism. Fast food. War. But I live here. There's nothing I can do. Move maybe, but I can't right now.

I do enjoy that I can do this though.

Celebrate nothing.

Celebrate the things I don't endorse. I'm going to get drunk-er, eat a lot of meat, drink more beer, play football and beerpong.

I'm getting a tan. Finally. I'm too pale.

These are all the things Jackson Nieuwland liked that I posted yesterday on Facebook. This bro likes foreal:)
