all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

seven : twenty-eight

i get confused in the morning
swagger from the bed's tower
for some reason not falling off
some call it God's providence

try to put on pants
can't remember if the drawstring goes in front or back
have to pee so bad i can't stand up straight

push sleep once too many
7:45 doesn't understand
have to put on a face before i can go to class

discovered that the ugly travel mug
with a chunk missing from the lid
holds slightly more coffee than the shiny green one
maybe a metaphor

willing hair to pretend it's seen shower this week
avoiding reflections
bigger, duller than i'd like

bye, room.
see you in seventeen hours.

you work so very hard, aubrey. don't forget how much you need to take time and energy to center everything and remember why you're doing what you're doing. God's grace is enough to cover us when we feel like we can't go on. yet, sometimes i have no idea how to understand that concept. i just keep trying to grasp it, hoping that someday it will all make sense.
you really rock.
