emancipated dissonance from the desk of renee ann

emancipated dissonance

Thursday, December 11, 2008

in my notes i wrote:

Equitable Conversion

Legal Title - "all you have is the stick called title"
Equitable Title - "you have all the other sticks"


so as long as one of the questions on the test tomorrow, each of which counts for a full percentage of my overall semester GPA, asks "which sticks do you have if you have equitable title?" i will be just fine.

also in my notes i wrote:

"presumably the vendee did not intend to die."

lawyers are not funny people. no they are not. i cannot wait for 12 hours from now. i just hope i'm not crying then.

my joints
ache
from sitting in this
ergonomically
correct chair
taxing my eyeballs and brain
with questions
too big
and hard to answer
------correctly
for a girl this small
and stationary, but
-now spinning
--in circles
---and rolling up and down
----the aisles
-----of the empty computer lab
in the fluorescent, indirect
---------------------------correct
light

a series of haiku for my baby brother

my birthday brother:
friends' potluck contributions
prove you're the coolest

if i was coming
i'd bring my famous salsa
and guacamole

alas, i'm far off
buried in boring textbooks
and cannot attend

instead of presents(ce?)
you get the only blog post
i've written in weeks

so to you this day
i wish blessings and laughter
and learning and love

and that this next year
would bring your optimism
to full fruition

SHIZZAM.

railroad illusions
we'll go sit on a coal car
bask in the soft light
and dream of a someday
simpler than this one

take a walk with me tonight, my dear
away from complications
away from fluorescent lights

we'll go lay on a rooftop
breathe in the sweet smoke
and talk of a place that’s
so far from this one

take a walk with me tonight, my dear
away from complications
away from conditioned air

we'll get lost under covers
smile at our trite words
and fall for a vision
so far from the truth

take a walk with me tonight, my dear
away from complications
away from the flightless facts


LEMUR is the answer!!
