you have given up on jesus
then is mary still your homegirl?


CAN mary still be your homegirl if you have given up on jesus?


nail polish is the weirdest thing in this world


a friend brought a bottle of pinkish red nail polish to calculus class today
we sat in the back and she painted my nails
the teacher was teaching something about functions smiling and staring into nowhere
the front people were sleeping, not dosing, sleeping
middle people usually gossip who and who that and so on
back people (that's us) paint nails talk trash and make snide remarks at the teacher


talking trash is very different from gossiping
gossiping is very slight
no names no responsibilities
gossip starts something like
i think i heard
maybe perhaps
nonono i'm not talking about her


talking trash is much more blunt
yes i mean her who else could i be talking about?
i heard her say that
bitchy stuff

i like to think that talking trash is just telling ugly truths

isn't it much more interesting when you really say something that's so true that it hurts?

unimaginative people just make things up

all while we were waiting for that pinkish red nail polish to dry

I looked down and saw a pair of unfamiliar hands
blood drenched to a sense
pink just isn't my color

then i spent the rest of the class picking it off
