First Snowfall (November 16, 2005)

First snow has fallen--
my emotions bittersweet
at seven A.M.



A frozen bike lock.
My breath defrosts the keyhole.
A bit light headed.



Once crowded bike rack
proudly stands in the snowfall
for the few bikes left.



Twenty four degrees.
Only badass bikers left.
Wimps got bus passes.



Inside my backpack
a frozen dinner thawing.
The teacher lectures.

Thursday (November 10, 2005)

Everyone's cramming.
Ready as I'll ever be
a test in logic.



Class registration
an advisor appointment
Stupid as can be.



Fuck my advisor
I register on instinct
Pure domination.



For an hour she talks.
Finally class is over.
Forgot what she said.



Overate sushi.
I drink but without relief.
Soy sauce poisoning



My eyes ask to close
I allow the to relax--
Walking the fine line.

Is it Thanksgiving Yet? (November 1, 2005)

Tight jeans and no thong!?
I can see underwear lines,
a total buzzkill.



A new bicycle
an expensive cable lock
hope it's not stolen.



World of Warcraft
highly addictive substance
class A narcotic.



A sellout roommate;
Sold his soul to World of Warcraft
twelve hours a day.

Midterms (October 27, 2005)

Hallways alive
the shuffling of papers
before the midterm.



Fucked by my homework
I give up and let it go.
No use in stressing.



Shoe conversation,
discussion on sex appeal--
intellectual.

Skipper Lowlife (October 26, 2005)

Debate with myself
and come to the conclusion
to skip my night class.

Cold (October 24, 2005)

Head phones for ear muffs.
Music fends off the weather
an ipod nation.



Someone is in my seat
A new person every day
What's wrong with your seats?

Longest Day Ever (October 19, 2005)

Longest day ever
sixty percent over
my mind on Lisa.



Cold frappuccino.
I enjoy the placebo
the caffeine brings me.



The last hour of class
checking the clock anxiously
takes three hours to pass.



Only two people
in this Russian lecture hall--
are easy to look at.

Broken internet (October 18, 2005)

Broken internet.
The pain is unbearable;
a part of myself



Rest the modem--
holding on to a false hope
fifth time a let down...

Work Shenanigans (October 11, 2005)

Take a step outside
greeted by a kiss of frost.
Better than coffee.



Patrick needs a smoke
but patrick has no lighter.
Patrick's life is shit.



Mountain dew for sale
Patrick buys all for resale.
Mountain dew baron.



Co-workers rub nuts
community Gold Bond.
Tingling sensation.

Disaster Festival (October 10, 2005)

In Minnesota
the construction doesn't end--
till the weather says.



Thirty thousand dead?
Finally a news story
Pakistan earthquake.



Disaster teamwork?
Earthquake and two hurricanes
killing together.



The Earth is angry;
teaching humans a lesson?
Too little too late.



In Minnesota
only blizzards and cold air.
A safe place to live.

Modern Pirates; Software Pirates (October 8th, 2005)

A computer ship,
cannon bits, grappling programs.
A software pirate.



An ocean of links...
From .rus to .uk and back--
Its out there somewhere.



Bit torrent programs;
dot torrent marks the spot.
The new treasure map.



A single nights catch:
four gigabytes of music.
Hard drive full of loot.



Criminal hackers,
deadly bugs and viruses;
perils of the sea.



A pirates bookmarks
are treasures all their own.
A port collection.



Serial number!?
Is that the best you can do?
CerealBox pick.

Stolen Bike (September 30, 2005)

Enjoy my bike prick
I hope you die riding it
Hit by my car.



If I had my way--
An eyeball aids injection.
I'm in a good mood.



Disgusting cough--
Next time you get throat cancer
take a few days off.

Untitled (September 14, 2005)

A cell phone vibrates.
We can all hear it dumbfuck
the middle of class.



A cell phone ringing!?
Fifth ring are you serious?
The balls on this kid.



This class wastes my time
I come for attendance points
Earning every point.



Super smash brothers
Mario and Luigi
Now, they settle it.

Hermin Miller Aeron (September 26, 2005)

Road like a car,
sidewalk like pedestrian.
The joy of a bike.



Aeron office chair.
School interrupts my sitting
--a happy buttocks.



Chairs at school and work
cannot possible compare
To an office throne.

Russian Class (September 21, 2005)

Thunderstorm outside
--Not riding my bike in it.
Makes class bearable.



During Russian class.
I think of video games
and a special girl.

Weekend into Monday (September 19, 2005)

Shot made for a man.
It's okay for men to cry.
--Vodka Tabasco.



Looking at faces,
easy to identify
the morning people.



Anarchy symbol
proudly displayed on her bag
next to a peace sign.



I drool at the thought:
like a billboard photograph
my home made sandwich.

Class, Work and eBay (September 13, 2005)

My room is freezing
The bathroom is a sauna
air conditioner.



Tough as nails marine
I send demons back to hell
pondering the point.



A fatty paycheck
I eagerly await it--
feed my addictions



I hold them open
my neck exceedingly limp
Fight for consciousness.



eBay victory.
My money beat the others
now I get to pay!

Taking Notes (September 8, 2005)

Boredom pains me.
I look down at some hang nails--
Sigh of reluctance.



I sit and listen
laughing at simplicity.
College -- What a joke.



It rains every day
everyday I walk that is
... it's better than heat.

Hella Class (September 7, 2005)

My room is freezing
The bathroom is a sauna
air conditioner.



Tough as nails marine
I send demons back to hell
pondering the point.



A four hour class
but interesting teacher--
still very painful.



My stomach growls
I tell him to shut his trap.
I call the shots here.



A squirrel eats garbage
on the lip of a trash can.
He makes it look good.

Another First Day (September 6, 2005)

A new semester,
another virgin notebook,
again -- deflowered.



It's syllabus day
for the thirty-seventh time.
Running the motions.



Class fills with people.
Veteran college students,
most of them ugly.



Waking up early
couldn't be more difficult
with my "condition."



Japanese teacher--
Things aren't looking good for me.
... you know how they are.



My eyes want to close.
Distant and incoherent
"The class description"
