since when is university about being safe?

this is the time you should be questioning 

certainties,honing your debate skillz -

which means that you not only hear the other's side

but know the arguments that will be used

to tear your stats apart as well as you know

the inside of your lover's palm- exposing

yourself to things you have not previously learned

or unlearning the certainty principle. 

this is not the time to get A's at holding your 

beliefs like a child in the dark 

or you can be like isis. they have a chapter

on intolerance i think you might find instructional.

it is, as of this moment, still your choice.

*(000

and other things. i'm quite sure

i could find a million rantable things

on the news as they call it.

i want to be exposed to something else.

we think the daily life goes on

between this scrambling purge of good intents

like yesterday eva and i met at the picnic 

tables. she told me a bit about budapest

while i luanched into what i know: the major

religion of US is hypocrisy and money.

prolly not that order. we need a triumverate

to make it stick so come up with another.

oh oh. hypocrisy, money, beauty.

let's relate that to another well known meme.

money =god, hypocrisy=the father, beauty=the holy ghost

wow, didn't realize how catholic we are. must be due

to the kennedys.. i'm so blase i'm my tone is noam.

silently, perciously, pernicisouly i misspell words

lost in autocorrect. i should make a list

but i'm writing, i could make a list but i'm driving.

heyo, my baby standard. 

so this is what it was like in mid november:

gramma takes  you on a play date with elle.

but  no one's come yet and she

forgot her phone. i don't want to go,

they might show up and leave if they don't see us?

 gramma says it's ok, i can call them 

and let them know we're here. i'm sure they'll 

wait a bit. it's not far.so you leave and you're sure

no one will come, but when you get back

there they are, elle and her momma, drawing

on the big blank courtyard with sidewalk chalk

the time goes by, you draw flowers and turkeys

hopscotch grids. there are no balls, no rocks. 

gramma has forgotten the rules of hopscotch

but she shows you how to move your feet:

           one

           foot

    two     feet

           one

           foot

    two     feet

           one

           foot

    two     feet

then its on to the slides. other kids show up 

a baby, a boy, a tween.you have so many people

around you and still you play on your own.

it worries me sometimes how self sufficient you are

how you're ok with solitary. but onlys must

be this way. grown ups are just too stupid to play. 

today there is a father with a kite, he shares it

everyone. gets a turn, and you take as many

as you can. gramma says she'll get you one

but when you go to the mall, she only buys clothes. 

at least she lets you run around the indoor

playground. she had changed you into 

a  unicorn t-short and rainbow leggings

to see if they fit. , they do. there are new puzzles

and lots of room to play one man tag

without running too fast. 

still no kite.you feel the wind tug

the kite stretch and pull at its tether

a bounding puppy, you let the leash out

and it jumps higher into the sky.

  you know how it feels

to fly now, wing bend and flex matic.

you tell elle goodbye, expect you won't

be seeing her again or maybe so sometimes

gramma's friends come back around

but say see ya anyway.ask gramma hey

can i just rest a little bit when we get home.

oh yes. o very yes.
