Orange

The following was crafted for me by a friend when I was investigating launching a website dedicated to the color orange (I obviously never got that project off the ground):

At first glance it might not appear to be sexy (unless you are of a particular social set and you know who you are) yet you are lured by that solid, re-assuring shade of happy. You must purchase it. You neeeeeeeed it. Okay so you have about five extension chords by now, because your little fetish has gotten out of hand. The phrase, “all things orange” lurks in your sub-conscious. You are weak. You give in. Your wallet may be lighter when you leave, but somehow, the world seems calmer. You may be able to plug in all sorts of extra things from a distance.

Rip Van Ouch

A poem from highschool – circa 1995

Rip Van Ouch

It Was Dark;
The Pavement Was Darker.
The Concrete Stung,
As My Face Brushed Against its
Cold Heartless Surface.

It Stunk

“Ouch” I Said.
“That Hurt” I Replied.

I Skated Home Swiftly,
And My Face Erupted with
Bloody Bits of Gunk.

It Stunk More.

I watched Grizzly Man recently and learned that mental diseases are a very real problem, especially in Alaska.
