warns of the 'curse of reason.'

found some old poems yesterday...one of which i considered my opus...looking over it again was invigorating...at least i can say that at one point in my life i had talent...i guess i've been suffering from a lack of inspiration...my muse is on hiatus...and when she manages to crawl back i'll kick her ass...i was having trouble deciding which CNN anchor is more attractive: Heidi Collins or Paula Zahn...i've settled on Heidi...Paula's smiles are a little disingenuous...besides, Heidi has a coldness to her that demands investigation...

i don't understand poplar trees...they are all packaged in tight swirls upward, but in winter the branches mimic the action of maple trees...as if they embrace the opalescent nature of winter...fuck...
