What A Busy Week

This has been! My school won the Reigonal one-act festival on Saturday but we didn't get home until very early Sunday morning (like 3AM!). On top of that, homework is eating me alive! Anyway, I'm working on some ceramics to show you guys. There are two vases that I am working on with a blue-on-white pattern. Here's a poem I wrote a month ago about a conversation I had with one of my closest friends.

A Little Chat (2-1-2010)

So, I lied.
That sums it up
Why? you ask. When?
Let’s start with when.
It was last Sunday
When we were in the park
It was cold, raining, and dark,
a Maine January thaw
I liked our talk,
said I could tell you anything.

Wait.
That’s two lies

I said that we wouldn’t be
good together at all.
I thought, I think
the exact opposite.
That makes the second lie

Let me explain.
I didn’t want to interfere
If I said the truth
There would be two outcomes

One, you don’t love me

Two, you do.
I know that doesn’t sound too bad
but I would be forcing you
to make your decision.
Loving me makes you straight
And, frankly, I don’t think you are.
So, I lied.
