Leap Day - Genesee County 911. - I have (gasp) a student at Buell School (gasp) that has been downed. I need an ambulance immediately! ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Alicia Judd wakes up on leap day, the 29th of February, to the sound of her neighbors yelling. She can't understand what they are saying but she can make out four or five distinct voices getting louder, their sharp inflections pouring through her paper-thin walls. She rolls over towards the single bedroom windLeap Day

.....(don't follow me) she said and i dragged along her coattails with my nose in the dirt, breathing in her musky pheromones like angel dust......
(trust in us) she cooed and my blisters popped thick pus into my battle scars, my feet bruised, head down
like a servant.
(i love you) she offered and jumped on a sinking ship towards Eden, hungry for an apple, thirsty for a snake.
(what happened) she asked six-thousand-miles below, and me, i scratch at mirrors and reach for the scars on my pale face.

I thought I knew the Sun, and how to avoid clouds. Today, the world, it shines.
*
One breath from her lips, The last thing I wish to feel Before the skies fall.
*
One hundred thousand, More, it will take to hold me Back from kissing her.

Between Dreams and RealityBetween Dreams and Reality
I’m painting my lips red so you’ll notice them When I intentionally walk past you today.
Maybe you’ll smile… and maybe you’ll smile at me.
I wish I could paint my gray eyes a brighter blue
So they would reflect your face when you look my way If you ever do, I think my heart will dance in figure eights.
[ maybe I’m just stupid… you don’t need a mirror to see how perfect you are ]
.
I’ll draw a pretty portrait; a sketch of roses and make believes And maybe you’ll post it on your refrigerator

MemoryDreams are shattered Never to come true. All our hopesMemory
Have left with you.
The sun has set The day is gone And it seems impossible To carry on.
But even though it seems, Like nothing is right. And day has permanently Changed to night.
We know that you’re with us And you’ll never leave. You’re here when we cry And you’re here when we grieve. You blessed us with a family Who are always here. To help one another When nothing seems clear.

| My Prayer God make me the poet of simplicity, Force,and clearness. Help me to live Ever up to ever higher standards. Teach me to lay A strong,simple,big-rocked wall Firmly,the first of all, And to fill in the fissures with the finer stones and clay Of alliteration,simile,metaphor. Give Power to point out error in sorrow and in felicity. Make me a truthful poet,ever true to the voice of my Call, Groping about in the blackest night For ever clearer,dearer light, Sturdily standing firm and undismayed on a Pillar of Right, Working with heart,and soul,and a willing might, Writing my highest Ideal large in whatsoever I write, Truthfully,loftily,chivalrously,and cheerfully ever, Fearfully,never. -e. e. cummings |

I'll tell you what 'twas all about,--
I had money and he had none,
And that's the way the noise begun."

Shall be lifted - nevermore!
