Very well I contradict myself
knock myself out
looking for a knockout
won't settle for a knockoff
...

A well placed compliment
can serve as the condiment
the breath mint
for a new relationship
...

Easy to get oneself tangled
in the rectangle
four corners
in which to be cornered
...

Remember where the seeds used to be
trees used to be
she used to be
right over there
...

a breakup is like a narrow escape
the more tragic the loss
the more better off
the narrower the

I'm so bored
nothing to do
there's nobody on the phone to talk to
nobody I want, too

Who are we?
Why are we here and what does it mean?

To dream of the same
night upon night
an unfulfilled promise
a loose end

My room

or wondering why
things didn't work out

The first is always the first
the second is a bad remake
oxymoronic
the third isn't always the charm
...

Splenda is the new nutrasweet
blonde is the new black
internet is the new tv
myspace is the new friendster
...

Look I'm just saying.
I'm just.
I'm just
saying.
...

where do you get your looks from?
your father or your mother?
I have my father's eyes
my mother's jaw
...

I can't remember the exact moment
I fell in love with humidity
it just sorta happened
a few years back
...

out of
love draws the triangle
the shape of things to come
3D
...

I know
like,
I don't know....
you know?
...

dreaming of another-
reality,
illusion manifests itself
attempting to elude
