A waltz
“Let me sing you a waltz,
Out of my head, out of my thoughts…”
Tonight was more proof that my taste in films is very much a unique-to-me thing. Perhaps I should stick to sharing only action movies. The kind you can talk through and never miss anything going on in the plot. ha-ha.
Wow, what an interesting day.
I chickened out in some opportunities today – but I was overly bold in others. I will confess the part I chickened out in. My presentation this morning was about what character I identified most with out of all the Lewis and MacDonald stories we’ve read this quarter. I chose Anodos from MacDonald’s “Phantastes.” As part of my presentation, I was going to read this poem I wrote. But I didn’t. Instead I babbled and shook like the temperature in the room was bellow zero. Anyhow, to make up for it…I’ll share now, the poem I was too afraid to share this morning.
Red w/ Rhythm
If my name was [ ]
What kind of person would I be?
Would I have the same
cares and worries
presently swarming me?
Would I have the same friends
the same smile
the same furrow when I frown
Would I like tennis,
Superbowl commercials
would I eat chocolate when I’m down?
Would I read too much
Would I see too much
and still never understand?
Would I love too much
think too much
and still never show my hand?
Who would I be if my name was [ ]
Could it be – that I might still be – me?
or could it be – that I might possibly be – you?
But there is nobody I could be but me – me
Because all the other me‘s are taken.
