Poetry
Morning, all. I had the pleasure of meeting Catherine Wong at KDVS a few weeks ago. She writes poetry and lyrics, and in her own words, "I am currently attending college cause I don't feel like I've wasted enough money through simple existence and am hoping to make writing my lifelong, broke career choice."
Anyway, here are a few of her poems.
Where All We are Headed
Where all we are headed,
Like a mob of unwedded brides.
When I find the suitor,
gonna pursue with loving eyes,
if I can pull off that disguise.
Sitting in Metaphorical Traffic, Right?
Sitting in metaphorical traffic,
Always open for interpretation
why don't you build your own bad metaphor and sing it into my song?
Couldn't be so hard,
Just think of the hellish things you can think of,
And then hold them in
Until it hops out in some other forms.
The Numbers Pass By
The numbers pass by,
in sequence like a fantasy
And I'm not fast enough, or smart enough to understand how they breed.
In the dim limelights, maybe
On counters and desks, in writer's hands and checks,
like rabbits in a huddle, turn away and return doubled
Do they make love tenderly in corners
So later they can screw me over.
I apologize for the weird spacing and formatting issues. I am obviously not a professional at this. I hope that you all like Catherine's poetry as much as I do, and I hope she allows me to post more of it in the future.
Alright, I need to make myself look decent and then head out to Yountville. See you tonight.
